South of France aug or sept?

[nobrakes]

We are going to Provence and Côte d'Azur. How much of a difference are the crowds between the last 2 weeks in Aug and the last in Aug and 1st week in sept ? We would have all accommodation booked.

We would probably prefer to go the last 2 weeks in August. Journeys between stops will be probably only 2 to 3 hours without traffic jams once we are in the area.

Is it that big a step Change in the masses leaving at the end of August?

Many thanks, we are flying Merc E class from Blighty, avec a glove box full of cash for les gendarmes with lepton cameras. And one of those motorway passes.

Will be going to Ilse sur le sorge and Eze, etcetera. Will try a bit of the route napoleon.
