My DH & I have been to Provence before. We would like rent a Gite /appartment so thet we could spend 2 days to visit Nice ,Monaco. I like your Idea of Luberon & your "Lavender route" if you could tell me where it is posted would like to go to Aix & Avignon . so if you could advise us of a website where we could rent a gite. it is O K if you e-mail me .also please advise if Marselles Or Nice would be the the best departure point for our friends to dep for Rome , Thank you .

Busy today

I will e-mail you my Cote d'Azur & Provence itinerary and also my write-up on renting Gites in France. Better hurry - Gites in Provence sell out fast. We resered our Gite in Provence about May last year.

Hi Stu - sounds like you're a traveler with some expert advice. Great! I'm heading to Monaco in a couple of weeks. Staying at Le Meridien Beach Plaza c/o a business trip. We'll have about 4 days to spare. BF likes museums, I like shopping. So, we'll do a little of both. I've always wanted to go to Provence, so that's on my list. Any other suggestions? Should we take trains or rent a car? Any insight is appreciated!

Many thanks,
Ruth

e-mail me at [email protected] & I'll send you my 20 page itinerary on the Riveria & Provence.

Best museums & shopping are in Nice on the Riveria. You can get there easily from Monaco on the train. Provence is best seen by car.
