Cote D'Azur Tour From Monaco to St Clair Part 3

Share:    

When you leave Antibes keep on the coastal road that takes you around Cap d'Antibes

via the Boulevard de Bacon, (yep! That's the real name!).

This will bring down in a wonderful place called Juan Les Pins.

If you snorkel keep your eyes to the left for some old ruins. The fish congregate here so its really interesting snorkeling.

The town itself is a great place to spend a few days. Wandering between the shops in the very French narrow streets and enjoy the sights and smells of one of the Rivera's favorite resorts.

The beach is long and stretches between the Cap d"Antibes to Golf Juan. Park up and have a sit on the sandy beach, watching the yachts moving between the ports. Juan is a real seaside destination with loads of ice cream vendors, sweet shops and gift shops along with some amazing fish restaurants.

When you reach Golf Juan have a wander around Pot Camille Rayon. Again there are some amazing boats to ogle at! Also there are various bars and restaurants, (OK, I know I like eating!), and one of my favorites is Rio's Banana Bar.

These guys have a great selection of drinks and meals including a tapas bar with miniature, cheeseburgers, Hot dogs and mini brochettes. Good value too.

There is always music on offer during holiday season and you can have Salsa classes too! You will have to ask in the bar for details.

OK! Onward! Next stop is Canne. If you have never heard of Canne you should probably not be out on your own! The World famous Film Festival is held here every May which means it's very busy at this time but you can wander along the seafront a spot the odd film star. Tip No2 Follow the expensive cars with the darkest windows! The ambience in Canne is electric and there is so much to see here. Casino's, cinema, theatre and the Hollywood style shopping keep people coming back again and again.

A big jump, now, to St Tropez. Again follow the coastal road to enjoy the Mediterranean views. Four words come to mid in 'St Trop', money, glamour, boats and cars. That doesn't mean everything is expensive as there are great bargains to be had. Have a wander along the seafront shops and checkout the market stalls. Favourite spots are La Gorille and Caf Paris for food and drinks. Tiki Beach is a great hang out as is the smaller port of Port Grimaud which also has some relaxing bars to sip your afternoon glass of rose.

After sleeping off the Rose induced fuzzy head follow the coast again because between St Tropez and Le Lavandou is an absolute gem of a place called St Clair. It's a little quieter than the neighboring resort but it still has a nice buzz about it. It has a beautiful sandy beach and although it's smaller it still has plenty of bars and restaurants. Fish lovers will find fish happiness in Chez Regis, simply fantastic and check out Les Flots Blue right on the sea front with its sister bar actually on the beach. If you are a lucky they may have 'Blah Blah' playing which makes for a great night.

So there you have it, a whistle stop tour from Monaco to St Clair. I hope you enjoy it.

A very cool way to visit the Cote d'Azur is to rent a campervan in the UK and drive down to France. If you are in the UK call 0800 612 8719 to reserve one.
