Message: [QUOTE="cohenzone, post: 2769310, member: 504"] Have a great honeymoon and an even better marriage. On a trip to France about 10 years ago, we visited both Monaco and Nice, both nice to visit. We were with friends and at the end, stayed in Cannes for a week, coincidentally the week before the film festival which they had begun preparing for. They were putting up a row of "courtesy tents" that were more like little houses than tents. Anyway we rented a great apartment through VRBO. A block and a half from the beach, a half block from a weekday big open market where we got to know some of the vendors with loads of fresh fish, vegetables and other stuff. There was a much appreciated wine shop on the ground floor of our building. The beach was one of the original topless female beaches. Not to be too whatever, but there were a handful of topless women there who seemed have been the originals from the 60's. More like the locker room at elderly housing. We did a day trip to San Tropez from Cannes. Unless things have changed, it's a pain to get to if you don't own a yacht. A train ride and then a bus, although we discovered you could boat back to the train, which we did going back. We also hired a day guide one day and went to the mountains of Provence which includes the Grand Canyon of France, not quite ours, but nice. Lot's of lavender fields. He took us to this sort of hidden away winery owned by brothers who own the French equivalent of Town Fair Tires. Fabulous place, built to look like a 300 year old chateau with some parquet floors from the Versailles Palace and a big show horse training arena with stained glass windows. I don't think they gave us their best wines to taste. Antibes seemed nice, but we stopped at a market there and bought, among other things, a bottle of some local salad dressing that we opened at home a month later and it basically exploded. Botulism? Anyway, hope this helps your decision a little. [/QUOTE]
