I would love comments please. In order to book business class from Vancouver I seem to have two choices. May 23 - June 22 or April 24 - May 21. With the April booking we would be there for the Cannes Film Fest. Leaving in May we would be there for Monte Carlo Grand Prix. We like to day trip out of Nice and spend some days at the beach in Nice. Would the April 24th flight be OK for this? I have looked at weather patterns but would like to hear first hand.
Two years ago we went in June and we needed the air conditioning. It was very hot. Thank you.

I don't know if the Cannes festival would affect Nice but I can absolutely guarantee that the F1 will. You're there for a month (what in blazes can you do in Nice for a month!?!) (and I love the Riviera) so the F1 madness will only affect you for a week out of that. We have been in Monaco the weekend after the GP for the last couple of years - no issues.

Hi Shari, I was in the French Riviera the second week of April this year. While the weather was pleasant (light jacket needed at most), I don't remember seeing anyone swimming, and when I stuck my hand in the water it was rather chilly. All of that said, I have seen people swimming in the Med in January, in Nice, so maybe everyone just has a different tolerance for cold water. If you're worried about crowds though, I would go in April-May.
