Cannes Nightlife

Tour the South of France

Southern France has beautiful coastlines and beaches and many ancient architectures that you would simply love to visit. Spending a holiday in the south of France is really a treat for the senses. Not only do you get good food and good wine but you also get great hospitality. Here are some ideas to consider if you want to visit this fantastic French coastline.

Of the famous places to go to, you can obviously start with Cannes, famous for its annual film festival but also much loved for its exquisite beauty as a resort town and also for its beautiful palm-line promenade bordering the sea. It is seen as one of the most glamorous, if not the most glamorous, resorts in all of Europe.

Then there is Antibes- Juan les Pines, which is the third largest town of C?d’Azur. It faces Nice across the bay and has Grimaldi’s 13th to 16th century castle situated at the sea front. It has one of the world’s finest Picasso collections.

Menton woos the travelers with its subtler charms and warmer winters. It is one of the most picturesque major resorts of C?d’Azur and has acres of lemon groves and luscious sub-tropical fruits on offer. It is no wonder then that droves of people flock to this resort just to bask in the sheer luxury and comfort it affords all its visitors.

Using public transportation to get around the South of France is not particularly ideal as you really need to be able to explore at your own pace. Many hidden delights are situated off the beaten track. Car hire is a very popular option in the south of France. Warm weather and beautiful coastal roads make for excellent driving opportunities.

To the south of Avignon lie the Alpilles hills that seem to rise almost suddenly from the middle of a wide and plain area. It has a bevy of little villages and towns, which represent the very nature of the Provence. The famous ones amongst them are St. Remy-de-Provence and Les Beaux-de-Provence. You can also go to the Luberon, a fertile plateau with lots of vineyards. Here you will find a range of limestone hills that look really beautiful in the sunlight.

Of course, you should not miss Avignon, especially during the theatre festival in July. It is one of the oldest cities in the Europe and has a lot of offer in terms of style and nightlife.

Marseille is another place that has history written all over it. It is France’s oldest town and was founded as early as 600 BC. The main attractions include a beautiful bay, the Vieux port and Isle d’If.

Once you come to southern France for the first time, you will no doubt want to come back again and again.

Which one of these places have the best nightlife: Antibes, Cannes, or Nice (all France)?

A Vibrant City of Colours

Nice is one of the bigger French cities and its one of the largest on the Mediterranean. It is a very busy location with Frances second biggest airport namely Nice Cote d Azur International. It is perfectly situated to explore the rest of the Cote d Azur. It is within easy distance of the rural villages of the province and just a stones throw away from Cannes and Monaco.

Divided into the well preserved district of Vieux Nice, which lies to the east, below the hill of Le Chateau, the modern city centre, the beaches and port and finally the enchanting and stimulating Cimiez district, a northern suburb. The beachfront is famous for its Promenade d Anglais along which lie swaying palms and extravagant hotels. The city is overflowing with bustling markets, friendly boutiques, sumptuous restaurants and cafes, and boasts numerous museums, relics and architectural treasures.

It is a vibrant city of colours. The deep azure blue of the Mediterranean, the terrocottas of the old towns Provencal houses and the bright reds, yellows and purples of hibiscus and mimosa.

There are has more banks, galleries and museums than anywhere else outside Paris. The local currency in France is the euro.

The transport system in Nice is made up, primarily, of buses and taxis.

If visiting art galleries and museums, try to do a little prep before you go so you know what youre looking at. Also be selective about visits to churches and palaces, if you try to explore too many you can become a little overwhelmed.

Known as the capital of the Cote d Azur, Nice is lively with non stop nightlife, great bars, restaurants and entertainment.

It has an excellent selection of places to eat and drink with the menus reflecting the abundance of fresh regional produce. In particular some excellent seafood restaurants. The Italian influence is also strong, with many menus featuring pasta. Restaurants are obliged by law to post their menu prices outside. Purely vegetarian restaurants are hard to find but most restaurants will be able to provide vegetarian dishes of some sort.

Bursting with boutiques and markets, making shopping for anything from designer to trendy home ware, wines and oils or antique books, an absolute pleasure.

Although the weather is at its best in June when the mistral has subsided, early summer and early autumn are probably the best time to visit. The weather is still delightfully warm but the city is less crowded.

The summer months or the high season can be a little overcrowded with a general increase in prices of up to thirty percent. Hotels, restaurants and museums usually close around November time.
