I am planning a trip to Provence and the Côte d’Azur in May. I’ve read how crowded the area is in May (I am locked into that month), and am wondering if I should stay outside of Nice. I am planning on having a car but may rely on trains to explore coast up to Menton. Is Villafranche-sur-Mer a good choice or does that get overrun with cruise ship passengers? Other suggestions for 3-4 day stay? I want to avoid Cannes due to festival. Thank you.
