Worth visiting!
Worth visiting overall...
...but with definite highs and lows! If I had to choose again, I probably wouldn’t pick this region – I chose it because it was fairly easy to travel around by public transport but it will be a long time before I go back; there are so many other regions of France I would rather visit.
Highlights:
- The colour of the water
- Marseille and the Calanques
- Musee Matisse, Nice
Lows:
- Monte Carlo
- Most of Nice

Geneva
Not worth visiting!
