Wherever you stay in your Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur holiday rental, you'll always find interesting things to do and see nearby. If you're in Nice, a stroll down along the scenic Promenade des Anglais as the sun is setting is never time wasted. Then there's the glitz and glam of Saint-Tropez, where you can mingle with a jet-setting crowd or hang out on the gorgeous beaches. At Cannes Film Festival, you can try to spot your favourite celebrity. If you come to Monaco at the right time, you could catch the prestigious Formula 1 Grand Prix, an exciting motor race which sees drivers hurtle around hairpins and up hills in the middle of town.
The type of transport you need very much depends on the holiday you're planning. If you're looking for a holiday rental by the beach and want to spend your days shuttling between the 2, using the public trains, buses or taxis from the airport are your best bet. If you'd prefer to explore the region in a little more depth, renting a car from 1 of the big firms at the airport is always a good choice and many of the holiday lets have private parking spots. Alternatively, if you're feeling energetic, hire a bicycle and see the spectacular landscape on 2 wheels.
This diverse set of landscapes and access to the rich Mediterranean Sea lends itself to Southern French cooking. You could start the evening with a glass of pastis, a classic aniseed-flavoured aperitif, accompanied by black olive tapenade on toast. Perhaps the most famous of the regional dishes is bouillabaisse, a broth created from at least 4 types of seafood, topped with croutons and rouille. If you stay in a Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur holiday during the right season, you'll see black truffle omelettes creeping onto the specials boards. Finish up with a selection of local cheeses, along with a slice of Tarte Tropezienne, topped with creme fraiche.
There's no right or wrong time to nab a Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur holiday rental. However, if you visit between October and March, the prices can be considerably cheaper. If you're after sunshine without the high price tag, the shoulder seasons of spring and autumn might be just the ticket. All EU citizens can enter France for up to 90 days, while those from further afield can apply for the Schengen visa. The national currency is the euro and they are easy to get from any of the exchange bureaus or ATMs. Though English is widely spoken, it never hurts to know a few phrases in French to help ingratiate yourself. A simple "merci" and "s'il vous plait" go a long way.
