And then we went to the beach... Antibes, Cannes, Saint Maxime and St Tropez

We spent a couple of days in Cannes, and St Tropez.  Time was spent mainly lazing around on the beach and taking a dive in the water when it got a bit hot. Cannes is well know for its film festival and generally regarded as a center of high fashion and affluence.  

St Tropez also has a common stereotype as the place where celebs spend their holidays, flying in on their G6, and partying offshore on their superyachts. Both these places lived up to the hype.  It was clear there was plenty of money around, in particular the cars and the boats stood out as markers.

We also spent a few days in Antibes and St Maxime which really were wildcard options.  Both places had amazing golden beaches, clear water and were generally less crowded. Which worked out well.
