Has anyone been to this site, or indeed the area? We are going in August with a 5 yr old and an 18 month old.
I know the site is very near some entertainment parks such as Marineland but has anyone had any experience of these - are they value for money or a waste of money?
Also what can we expect from the weather in that region? I know last year had an exceptional heat wave but what is it like normally?
Lastly any suggestions on trips - I hear you can get to Italy, Monte Carlo and Cannes using the train along the coast but is it worth it? We are not planning on hiring a car.
Thanks for any help or info.
We have not stayed at Camping du Pylone but have heard good reports. We camp at Villeneuve Loubet. We tend to go in May and 'touch wood', we have never had bad weather. As old codgers we know nothing about Amusment Parks... but this area is fantastic for site seeing. The beach at Biot is o.k. but shelves quickly. Antibes is beautiful. Cannes, Nice, Monaco, Ventimiglia (Italy) all easily and cheaply accessible by train. The new rail line to Grasse should be open now. Our favourite trip is on the Trains des Pignes up into the Maritime Alps from Nice. This goes from a different station to the main SNCF. For details of towns, villages etc. check out Provence Beyond. For general information check Anglo Info. Both on the net. For train times you can use SNCF/TER website but the best Train Timetable is downloadable from the Nice Airport website via Access and Parking/Trains on their sitemap. For bus timetable and routes google Rapides Cote D' Azur. Public Transport here is excellent, you DO NOT need a car.
In fact we loved it so much we are going back (for the first time ever) next year.
Thanks for you info, you are right, the trains are GREAT!
