Nice Monaco

[snorkel sucker]

I have a few days off coming up and some airmiles to spend and im thinking about a trip down to south of france. Can get a flight to Nice and was thinking about heading to Monaco for the day / 1 night as its somewhere ive always wanted to go.

Thought I could also take in some of the roads down there en-route.

Has anybody made a similar trip and can offer some advice/do's/dont's etc about where to stay, what to avoid and the like

Have also posted this in the roads section, but thought id post here too

Not especially taken by Monaco, ok for a day trip but I wouldn't stay there.
Do visit the Prince's car collection though.

Eze would be a good place to stay between Nice and Monaco (less than 6 miles). Eze is on the Moyenne Corniche but go for a drive along the highest one, the Grande Corniche.

Was there last year.
We stayed in Frejus about 40 or so minutes drive from Nice. Nice enough place with St Raphael just 5mins down the road.

Would recommend staying outside Monaco, and doing day trips to places like Monaco, Nice, Cannes etc.
Head a little north towards Aiguines and there's some spectacular roads. Twisty roads round the side of valleys, amazing scenery!
