Have you been to The French Riviera in the south of France?

Mélange parfait de mer, sexe et soleil. Pour tous les goûts.

Was on a Mediterranean cruise with several ports of call there. Beautiful scenery. Can be crowded at times. Planned on going back and spending more time there but never got the chance. I'm sure there will be a number of posters who will claim it is awful for one reason or another but every place is what you make of it.

It's all that and more, OP.

It really is quite beautiful and a great place to go.

As opposed to the French Riviera in the west of Australia?

Its a very very long coastline and I don't feel that it's crowded. Plus you can go up a kilometer or 2 and its certainly not crowded. There are the cities and the old ports are nice such as in Nice. I like the scrappy Juan-les-Pins and Antibes. I like Monte Carlo even (but not Saint-Tropez) and little Menton and Cannes. This spring I'm going to the other end to explore Marseille and the Carmargue. I like it all, from glamour to tacky. Very very pleasant weather and the sea is fine for swimming.

Fête du Citron in Menton. How fabulously tacky.

I never got any further than the French Riviera in the east of France.

The one in Nevada is kind of commercial.

My brother went to Nice, didn't pay for a thing, and hated it.

Was in Camargue (not the French Riviera) once. Great if you love mosquitoes.

What about Northern European nudist gays with giant cocks? - Camargue and regions.....?

It’s pretty but expensive. Plus there are French people there so that’s a minus.

I've been wanting to plan a trip to Nice for a long time. What are the must-see sights/activities? Any times of season to avoid or that are best to go?

It's great in June and September. July is all Americans, August all Russians and the rest of Europe who are on vacations.

Spent the summer of ‘69 in St. Tropez. Jealous?

Nah, R16. Any number of North African cities would have been hipper in '69.

A few times. It is very nice. As someone wrote above, St Tropez, not so much. But other parts beautiful. Go up in the mountains to Eze. A tiny perfect village w Ana amazing restaurant (Gazelle D'or) in an old monastery w crazy views below you. Also, if you can swing it, The Hotel Du Cap in Cap d'Antibes is unreal. Yes, it has become overrun w Russians but if you go at off times it's great.

R17, I don’t think my family’s objective was to find the hippest town on earth.

In 2006 when we had both the time and the money (and recently divorced) we visited Nice and considered settling there, but we did not like the stones on the beach instead of sand.

Love it. Especially picturesque Villefranche-sur-Mer and St-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. The Italian Riviera's not so bad either: San Remo, Portofino, Cinque Terre, etc.

One actually prefers Beaumont-sur-mer.

What about Menton? We know a fabulous Parisian diesel who likes to holiday there.

Menton is great. I'm saving to retire there.

Mention is on the Italian border. You can nip over for lunch. It used to fascinate me how different it was. Like a magic carpet ride.

Nice is nice but other than the beach there is not a lot to see. Of course you can rent a car andgo see the several cities snd villages nearby. For such a big city I was surprised bythe lack of gay nightlife (this was 7 years ago so it may have changed).

Opéras de Nice et Monte Carlo are both interesting.

never been there but the Amalfi coast looks better.

Most girls would give their eyes for the chance to see Monte!

I was taken there by one of my Russian lovers, that was before I met Donald of course....

I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece.

I've only been to Marseille and Aix (and nearby Cassis.) Lovely area.

It’s okay. Stoney beaches, overpriced hotels and crowded bistros with the usual vacationer rude service. It’s pretty, but meh...

I liked Monte Carlo and San Remo. Also, Monaco is very nice.

Very commercial...but stunning. The drive to Monaco is worth it if you are already in the Riviera

I’m the plus size panties that mom will have to squeeze her big business into because she keeps eating!!

Sorry! Wrong post!

How did that heifer find her way sur la plage on THIS thread? R37 You've spoilt the dreamy scene imaginative vistas of bronzed of Rivera cock I had cooked up via the candy summery visuals on this thread.

Can one hire male whores ?

Uncut French sizemeat has a taste of brie to it!

So many fucking idiot liars on DL lying about things that aren't worthy of lying about.

West of the Camargue, from La Grand Motte to Banyuls sur Mer, there are plenty of reasonably priced seaside resorts and sandy beaches to enjoy. PACA can be quite pricey.

I was amazed to find I much prefer the stones. They are so smooth and small. No lumpy too wet or too hot yucky mess. Spending so many years going to the Jersey shore I am so over sand.

The Brits smoking away with brown skin leathered to a 100 years are a sight.

I like the idiot who enjoyed both Monaco and Monte Carlo. Perhaps you should try Rome and Italy on your next trip.

R44, Perhaps he liked Monte Carlo and Monaco-ville, but was indifferent to La Condamine...

I was watching House Hunters International last night, and the episode had this big ol' teddy bear queen looking for a flat in Nice. Adrian Leeds took him around Quartier des Fleurs, I believe, and mentioned that she lived down the road. I thought she was based in Paris, but apparently not. Anyway, beautiful town with plenty of Italianate and Beaux-Arts buildings and lovely views of the azure sea.
