Reply To: South of France road trip advice

Roads will be busy in August as the whole of France will be on holiday. Hilton doesn’t have much of a footprint outside the big cities. Best value is going to be places like HIE, but nothing will be cheap!
Frejus is a nice little town with a pretty square with market stalls and restaurants selling local produce.
As Richie, suggests, Montpellier and the surrounding area are also very lovely, you can see flocks of flamingos on the salt marshes and there’s a very pretty place at the coast called Aigues-Mortes (iirc) which is worth a visit.
