StCirq

Monaco is nothing but a concrete jungle that's a playground for the über-wealthy. Unless you've got loads of money, love to gamble, or are into the yacht scene, it's not much of a venue, especially considering your short time in the area and the amazing number of other things to see in the area.

Good to know StCirq. I appreciate your insight as there are a number of other Riviera sights I'm interested in (hill towns and the Calonques near Marseilles/Cassis).

How are you planning on visiting Cassis/Calonques without a car??

I see that you are a new Fodors member. In that case, I have a 27 page Provence & Cote d'Azur itinerary that I've sent to around 3,000 people on Fodors. I also have a 20 page itinerary on the Dordogne that I've sent to around 1,500 people. My wife & I have vacationed for 34 weeks in the Provence/Cote d'Azur region & 10 weeks in the Dordogne. Both itineraries describe our favorite villages, cities, scenic drives, markets, sites - and the Provence one has info about Provence fabric. If you would like copies, e-mail me at [email protected] & I'll attach the copies to the reply e-mail. Identify yourself & which copies you would like (I get about 4-8 requests each day and I may not recall/know who you are & what you want - unless you tell me).

Monaco - too much concrete, congestion, glitz, & everything else St Cirq mentioned.

Thanks Stu - I've emailed you! I'm very interested in both your itineraries.

@kkkKelly: We went from the Dordogne to St. Remy-de-Provence on the Autorout via Toulouse and Carcassone (did not stop), with a short detour to get to Pont du Gard. You could take a more direct route (and potentially see the Milau viaduct on the way) but time-wise, the Autoroute is probably best.

@twk - thanks, that's the route I thought we'd take too.
