anyone know southern france well?
i really like the south of france and am thinking of going again this year with a stop on the way there and back for a day somewhere. last year we
stayed in ste maxime in the gulf of st tropez for 7 days which was fantastic and stayed in dijon and lyon for a night each also which were nice.
this year i fancy somewhere in the south east but ideally and hour or 2 from the coast and up in the hills. anyone know of any nice areas with nice
hotels,villas,restaurants,villages etc a pool is a must and the hotter the better really,it will be early august too. cheers

If you head down towards Nice / Monaco way its lovely down there. Its right at the foot hills to the Alps so makes good for a bit driving action and
the scenery is amazing. During the summer months for about 8 years i (me and the gang) would head down to Briancon area for a lot of summer very hot
kayaking. Some amazing rivers to paddle and for us it was essential to have good night life what with all the local towns having weekly festivities on
in the town squares, local bars and eateries....
Some excellent chatauxes (spelling) to visit in the French Alps too. Well worth a trip. It is a bit odd seeing ski resorts when driving through
completely deserted in the baking hot summers.
Worth a trip i'd say.

First off I get the impression that rents are going down. Second if you are going to drive everywhere there are are of course 3. Roads going from
stTropez/ nice to Italian border. Trains are as u may know very cheap, and a lot quicker than buses. U might want to check out Menton right near the
Italian border. It is very quiet but near everything. Parking is no problem. U hAve a huge choice of where to go there. I know nothing about further
inland.

hotel of the three valleys....
col de turini ... theres lots of appartments for rent in that area .
if we were travelling down there , then lyon is just about the only stop doable in one day...
i know theres a couple of old race tracks that have been saved in the south , might be worth investigating.

If you like rivers, i recommanded 'saint enimie' or 'Anduze'.
there are more cheap regions than east coast and beautiful too.
very hot too in June, July, August.
