Things to do on the French Riviera

[DaineseMan]

We're renting a villa in Juan les Pins for a week during the first week of September so was wondering if anyone had any recommendations of things to do (both nightlife and day) in the area (ie. Cannes, St. Tropes, Nice, Monte Carlo etc). We're renting a car so getting around won't be a problem.

Any good driving roads round there?

Route Napoleon

'Special treat today Love, I'm taking you to the Fragonard perfume museum and shop in Grasse'.
(Its on the Route Napoleon.)
'While we're here lets drive a bit further and find somewhere for lunch'.

Works every time and you score many Brownie points too

Nice one!

Where's the best for nightlife? Nice, Juan les Pins, Cannes or St Tropez?

I've had an amazing time so far, having done nearly everything that you guys recommended. Thanks so much!

I particularly enjoyed the Route Napolean yesterday, which I became addicted to eventually. Was literally a free track day for me! We've rented a BMW 1200GS as well as the new 328i between us, so I got to have a go on both. Villefranch-sur-mer and Eze are beautiful too and was cool going food shopping in Antibes market.
In terms of beaches, we've been hanging out on Juan Les Pins most of the time, with the exception of Villefranch yesterday. I don't like the pebbles in Nice. As I would like an alternative, I was planning on going to Spiaggia d’Oro on the other side of the border today. Does anyone have recommendations for any other beaches in the area?

Any other ideas in general? We're leaving tomorrow night...
