Montpellier --> Biot --> Cannes --> Biot
We had a very slow start after our night out in Montpellier. We'd loved every moment of the Tour de France, but it was now time to explore the French Riviera. We'd heard that Cannes, Nice and Monte-Carlo were super expensive. So we decided to base ourselves in Biot, a much less ritzy town, right in between Cannes and Nice.
The first campsite we tried was full, and the second had just a single cabin left. When the manager asked if we had called earlier enquiring about vacancies and asked him to hold it we naturally said yes. Unfortunately, whilst we were checking in the actual people turned up. Very awkward, but we got the cabin :)
It was a stinking hot day so we spent the afternoon on the beach. No sand to be found, just rocks and more rocks. But it was still very nice all the same. The train station was only 100 metres from our campsite so we ditched the car and took the train into Cannes for the evening.Cannes was very cute. We found the most gorgeous little street, absolutely jam packed with restaurants that had their seating on the pavement. The street was on a bit of a hill so all the tables and chairs were on platforms to keep them level. Having already eaten we just a had a few drinks and people watched the night away.
