Hi all
A group of us are travelling to a self catering villa between 8-23 July in Bagnol en Foret. We are flying but will have hire cars. Not been to France previously
Anybody been to that area who can advise the best bits and bits to avoid??? eg
Places to visit
Nice countryside?
Nice beaches?
Any food/other that we should take that we will find difficult to get in France? Particular supermarkets better than others?
Anything else may be important to know?
Appreciate the help. Thanks
- drive to St Raphael and get the train along to Monaco. It's a very scenic journey.
- If you want to go to St Tropez, get the boat from St Maxime but allow time to get there and to get parked (the road is very busy and the stretch between St Maxime and St Tropez is even worse).
The foods we always take to France are breakfast cereals, orange squash and baked beans as they are either not available or very expensive. Local markets are worth using for fruit and veg, meat, cheeses, etc. If there is a local wineshop (la cave), the wine is worth trying as they tend to be very good.
Ez is worth a visit but go early in the morning as it gets very crowded once the bus tours turn up.
You can get most food in France but expect to pay more is you insist on buying baked beans and Mothers Pride. Buy the things the French buy like their bread, cheese, pate etc and you won't go far wrong. (and of course Wine) .
Thank you for your advice
