Greetings, I will be going with my husband on a post-honeymoon trip for 13 days this mid-May to the French Riviera and Monaco. However, I am wondering if I can squeeze in Provence. I have personally been to Nice, Villefranche Sur Mer and Monaco. This will be his first time and is especially looking forward to Monaco (cars and casino of course). I am thinking to make Nice our base for all the local days trips then 1 night in Monaco (his request) and then a train from Nice to Provence. Has anyone done this? We will have 2 days in Paris before we depart back to LA. I am hoping this isn't too much. My first time was a few years back in mid-April with a girlfriend. We loved it and found day trips from Nice by bus/train so easy and delightful. Hoping my husband will agree!
Side question: Anyone done Cannes during the film festival? I wanted to do a day trip there and St. Tropez but maybe it'll be too much.
