Is this for a holiday or to work?
I have driven round the south coast from Nice to Marseilles for the RWC 2007. Cannes and St Tropez are so over rated and expensive it's not true – infact they're pretty shitty. Some of the villages are beautiful though.

I stayed in Cassis and I would go back at the drop of a hat.

nice is better than cannes?

- been there a few times. Going back in May.
Cannes isn't great but worth a look. St Tropez is better in the village part. It's all expensive as you might have imagined.

whats expensive there? i checked, the prices for flat are 700-1000 so its almost same as everywhere in europe.

La Mas Candille at Mougin is to die for.
La Colombe d'Or just outside the walls of St Paul De Vance is the most awesome hotel in the world. Milliions of pounds of art by many greats on every wall. Including Picassos in the bedroom etc.
Cannes is a bit industrial but pretty good fun. St Tropez is far too money driven. But an interesting experience and Nice.... is nice.In the South of France get up into the Valleys away from the large towns. Go and visit where the artists lived and the numerous galleries in St Paul de Vance. Yes do that!
- i agree with all of this. i stayed in Grasse and travelled all over from there.arthur

expensive if you're coming from UK with sterlinb vs euro. General cost of living was fairly high - but we were on holiday so maybe not a fair comparison. Meals/drinks were expensive in both St Tropez and Canne, but again we were tourists in tourist town so maybe that's not what you're doing.

The cost north of Biarritz is fantastic. Great for surfing as well.

Been there like 20 times or specially the "Var" and "Provence". Love it Nice is good like it more then Cannes, but there are lovely little villages all over the place. But can be really crowded touristic in summer time.
