To ensure a trouble-free stay, respect the smoking/no-smoking signs in public places. It’s always useful to have a little cash on you at all times for small expenses, such as taxi fares, drinks and especially a one Euro coin for a luggage trolley at Nice Côte d’Azur International Airport. If you’re driving, park only in authorised spaces and respect the speed limits on highways and motorways.

Owing to a number of major events (the Cannes Film Festival, the Monaco F1 Grand Prix) and conferences, finding accommodation can prove difficult and it is strongly advised that you book early.
