Yep!, had a wee experience of all those places when i visited France innnn...'91, a few months after leaving school.
Nice is tragically (tragic for those who live far away from it) beautiful, Monaco is just gorgeous (and according to one World Cup studio pundit they have CCTV on every corner...so you won't get mugged!...well...if you do get mugged, the perpatrator of the crime will at least have his photo taken)
St. Tropez is Page 3 on sand :)...and the Gorges du Verdon are absolutely breathtaking.:photo: (those smileys could easily be the other way around)
If you've been before, you may know all this, but i just thought i'd prepare you in my own little way...you lucky SOd!
Bon Voyage!

As a child I always thought Nice would be a cool place to go because it shares the name of a biscuit I liked very much...I have yet to go there but feel confident that you will have a fab time.
Take care and tell us all about it on your return Slipmiester...loved reading about Prague! :cool:

Have a great time Slipper the gorges are beautiful. I once had a quick visit to Monaco with Crit and it was bluddy hot, my brother got sunburned feet laying in the sea.
