South of France?

Question

I am going to Paris and then to Florence next year. I want to stop somewhere in the south of france along the way, but i'm not quite sure where to stop. I have about 4 days for this.

I am thinking Nice, as I want to go somewhere along the coast where it is sunny, but I am open to go somewhere more quaint (and perhaps less expensive).

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

the French Riviera is great.

Great nightlife as well as good food, and fantasic beaches.

Go to Cannes, St.-Tropez, even Monaco

Answer 2

They mentioned about the Riviere Sud Du France (Southern French Riviera). I'll add in Arles (learn about Van Gogh's Drawings there) and Grasse (Do you love Aromatherapy?).

Answer 3

yes its beautiful - Beautiful, Geneva.

Answer 4

Wow, I made the same trip a few years ago, Paris then Nice then Florence. Well Nice is nice, but I really didn't like it.  You have the beach and it is sunny there but I don't know why, I just didn't like it. I felt the city was too congested or too lonely especially the area of the hotel where I was staying. You should take the tour bus to get a better view of the city which you do get to see some beautiful views of the coast. But I just didn't find anything to do or see but the beach.
