Annecy or Menton?

I've been to Annecy, and I'm going back again, wonderful city, naturally the old town and the lake. I haven't been to Menton, but I have been to Nice and Monte Carlo. It depends on where you are coming from as to which to choose. Menton is on the Mediteranian and Annecy is north near Geneva.

Suzann, this is a bit off the subject of your question, but I'm bit bored today. <BR> <BR>This march, we planned a trip to Paris and Menton and had originally used frequent flyer miles to book flights to Paris and thought we'd take the train down to Menton. But this turned out to be a long trip. So we looked at booking r/t flights from Paris to Nice at about $150 each. <BR> <BR>Then when discussing our travel plans with a friend, he slapped me on the back of the head (figuratively) and said, "why don't you use your frequent flyer miles to fly to Nice through Paris with a 5-day stop-over in Paris?" Since Air France accepts Delta FF Miles, this was possible, and saved us the cost of the flight to Nice. <BR> <BR>Of course, our trip was cancelled for unrelated reasons so I can't tell you anything about Menton. C'est la vie. <BR> <BR>But even if you're buying your ticket, check out the price of flying through to one destination with a stop-over in the other. May save some money.

Folks: <BR> <BR>Thank you so much for your thoughtful responses. John, Steve, and Bob the NAV: you have almost convinced me to skip Paris (again!) and do both Annecy and Menton. That might be easier than trying to decide between two perfectly wonderful spots. Brian: your advice is priceless and brilliant! I never would'a thunk of it! Thank you all!! <BR>Suzann
