    Things to Look Out For

    field notes
    1

    Don't come in August

    Paris empties out in August. The Parisians decamp south and the city that stays open is the tourist crust, with half the good bistros shuttered for les vacances and the heat sitting heavy on the stone. Late April to June, or September into October, gives you the city the locals actually live in. The Riviera is the inverse: August is its peak and its most crowded.

    2

    The TGV beats the airport

    France's high-speed trains run city-centre to city-centre at 300 km/h. Paris to Lyon in two hours, Paris to Avignon in under three. And you skip the airport entirely. Book the TGV well ahead; the prix libre fares climb steeply close to the day. A first-class seat is a small premium for a much quieter carriage.

    3

    Lunch is the long meal

    The French eat lunch slowly and dinner late. Kitchens often don't reopen until 7.30pm, and turning up at six gets you a closed door or a tourist menu. Make lunch your big meal, especially outside Paris where the midday formule is the day's best value. And the café terrace is for the apéro hour, around six, not for hurrying.

    Plan Your Timing

    When to Go

    France works April to October, but the shoulders are the sweet spot. Spring. April into June. Brings the gardens out and the crowds haven't arrived; September and October give you the harvest, warm stone and thinned-out queues. July and August are hot and busy: Paris half-shuts for the holidays while the Riviera fills up. November to March is cool and grey in the north, though the Alps come into their own and Provence stays mild.

    Your Memoir

    Here's how you'll remember it.

    Nice, France

    Day 2. The Promenade and the blue water

    Day2
    ✦ Memoir

    Nice's Promenade des Anglais runs the length of the bay, the water the exact blue the coast is named for. We climbed the Colline du Château for the view down over the old town's terracotta roofs, then ate socca. The chickpea pancake. Off a paper cone in the Cours Saleya market.

    Monte Carlo — Monte Carlo, France

    Day 3. Monte Carlo, the casino square

    Day3
    ✦ Memoir

    Monte Carlo is smaller than it photographs. You walk the whole principality in a morning. We stood on the casino terrace watching the supercars idle in the square, then took the open-top tour past the palace and the harbour stacked with yachts the size of ferries.

    Monte Carlo02
    Cannes — Cannes, France

    Day 5. Cannes, the empty red carpet

    Day5
    ✦ Memoir

    Out of festival season the Croisette is just a long palm-lined seafront, the Palais des Festivals quiet and the red-carpet steps open to walk. A local guide took us up into Le Suquet, the old town above the harbour, where the lanes are too steep for the crowds to bother.

    Monte Carlo, France

    Day 4. The corniche between the towns

    Day4
    ✦ Memoir

    The drives between the Riviera towns are half the point. The corniche roads cut into the cliff with the sea dropping away below and a village like Èze hung on the rock above. We stopped at a viewpoint where the whole coast curved away toward Italy.
