Unless you’re coming to town specifically for Nice’s famed Carnival in February or the Jazz Festival in July, avoid these months—rates spike and attractions are crowded.
Beach etiquette
Leave your inhibitions behind – topless sunbathing is the norm in the south of France.
Room with a view
Finding an oceanfront room (or at least one with a Mediterranean view), is entirely possible; just book well in advance, particularly during the busy summer months and the Carnival season.
