One of my favourite travels!!

I've been in Cote D'Azur, Provence and Camargue twice. The second one was less than 2 years ago.
I felt in love immediately with these regions. I loved the small ancient villages like Eze or Saint Paul de Vence, I loved the lavanda's smell of the Provence, the beach around Hyeres and Saint Raphael, the arystocratic position of Nice and Monaco, and expecially la Camargue, with the fantastic places like Saintes Maries De la Mer and Arles, as the wild campaign...

My travel

I'll put as soon as possible my pages about places I visited. My travel was concepted like this (I had no planes, I was with my car and I moved when I wanted):

- 3-4 days in Nice: visited Nice, Monaco, Eze and Saint Paul de Vence.
- 4-5 days in Le Muy (no hotel found near the sea zone): visited Cannes, Saint Raphael, St. Tropez, Hyeres and take the sun ;)
- 3-4 days in Saintes Maries de La Mer: visited Arles, the Camargue, the Provence with Gordes, the Abbaye de Senanque and Aix-en-Provence.
- 1 day in Brignoles: Fete Medieval while I was returning home.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Very different places, good eating, peaceful lifestyle
  • Cons:Some places are very rich (Monaco but not only...). Difficult to find hotel in high season.
