    1. Thank you for this useful introduction to these beautiful places. My dermatologist would be concerned lest everybody is coated in sunscreen. Do you have any favorite brands? Bonne journey!

    2. Just came back from our trip from Genova to Nice. We were disappointed at the lack of parking on Cote d' Azur. We own a small campervan 2.6m high. All parking lots/garages are limited to 1.9-2.1m height. Street parking is impossible to find and has a max limit of 3 hours. The trip was a disaster even though was very well planned.

    3. I saw the canyon, it is very impressive. I had booked a tour in a small group from Nice, we also went to the ceramics village of Moustier-Sainte-Marie and to the waterfall, I think Gorges du Loup, it was called.
      I also took the same ferry as you to Saint Tropez and had two beautiful Muses there, as well as the Cafe des Lices for lunch, which was very romantic there. I enjoyed Nice so much that I'm going back next year to visit Monaco and some of the other places you featured. I also saw that the iconic hotels in Cannes are not that expensive in the low season. I particularly like the Croisette from your video (the street behind it was too busy last August), Menton and Antibes (I hope I spelled everything correctly)
      Marseille is also a fantastic city, I went there by train from Germany, there is a train there every day from Frankfurt am Main. I felt very safe there.
