Five days in the South of France
Certain parts of the South of France are charming and worth visiting; others are nice but not incredibly charming. Hotel-du-Cap is a must-visit, even if you don't stay there.

Day trip to Monte Carlo!
Cannes was mostly rainy and didn't have a ton of character. I wish I had stayed in St. Tropez instead.
Itinerary Overview
Spent a few days exploring Cannes, shopping, and going to the beach. Took one day trip to Hotel-du-Cap Eden Roc and another to Monaco, which were both awesome and made me wish we were staying somewhere that wasn't Cannes.
