Hi,

Off on my road trip holiday on friday (3 days eurodisney 12 nights cannes). Never been abroad before so im excited!!

Already planned to go driving round monaco for a day Just wondered if anyone else had been? Is there anything i should go and see? Any good walks/ historic stuff and cool things to do?

Just looking for pointers if anyone had been before


Thanks
Dan

We had our honeymoon in that region.

I can highly recommend a visit to the Auberge Des Adrets, just outside Frejus, for a meal. You'll probably need to book in advance and it's not cheap, but the food is bloody good there - we stayed there for 1 week of our honeymoon.

We had our honeymoon in Antibes, just along the coast. Nice place to wander around / shop / eat. Decent beach too.

A bit further inland is the Verdon Gorge. I think it's second largest canyon in the world?

Other than that, there are loads of museums in Nice. Just check they are open on the day you plan to visit!

The Musee de L'automobiliste is in Mougins not so far from there and is worth an hour or two.

Hopefully that means cars

Also found that the prince (or something) of monaco has a car collection on display... horrah

Took the Locost down there a couple of years ago, brilliant fun. There'a some good roads near the Gorge Du Verdon. Depends what ur into though. A boat trip across to the Iles des Lerins from Cannes is a pleasant day out. St Tropez is cool if you like boats (I do). Frejus is good if you like Roman history. You have to drive the Monaco circuit, it's the law!!
Nice if your other half likes shopping (it's on the way to Monaco anyway )
Personally I could hang around Cannes for a week and not get bored.
