French airfares

Any suggestions for snagging a good airfare from CDG to NCE and back in October? Air France prices have gone way up since our trip in October 2004, but I suspect some of that is the new French tourist tax.

I just tried, one-way, CDG-NCE, 10/11/06 on Expedia.com and it's showing a one-way fare of $69 all in. INHO, that's a very good fare.

Just no the price listed on Expedia is $129.81 RT, which is still better than on AF. Thanks.

I ended up booking with Air France, as the Expedia lower fare was for flight times that didn't work for us.

Now: does anyone have have a tip for getting through to a live person by phone to Air France? Other than the reservations line it seems to take close to an hour for a response.
