I've decided to fuck off to the south of France for a week or 2, maybe more/less. Any recommendations of where to visit/avoid, I have literally decided just this second, open to all ideas, and willing to travel to neighbouring countries.

Saint-Tropez and the surrounding towns (Port Grimaud & Saint Maxime) are lovely and would recommend but they are also on the pricey side, so worth bearing in mind!

I stayed at Hotel Cap Riviera, Saint-Aygulf, which was pretty good. Only a couple of nights there as I was on my way to Southern Italy. But did St Trop & Cannes

Friends of mine have a place in the Languedoc region north of Montpelier. Bit quieter but great countryside, amazing wine and not a long trip to some great beaches. Went in mid April last year and it was roasting.

Was going to post exactly this. We used to stay in a caravan park every summer in Port Grimaud. So it can be done relatively cheaply if you don’t mind that sort of thing. We didn’t venture out loads as I was either pool or beach but it’s a decent base to travel around from.

Get the ferry across from St Maxime to St Tropez, a great 25 minute trip. In St Tropez, eat in the streets a couple of streets back from the front, much cheaper.
Nice is bustling and busy, plenty to see and do. Catch the train to Monaco and have a walk around, hire a Ferrari and drive around the GP circuit (about 140 Euros the last time I went). Jump back on the train and head across the border to San Remo.
Heading back West, Antibes has a great Waterpark if that's your thing.
Further West is a lovely resort called Le Lavandou. Very French, very pretty and a lot cheaper than the more touristy resorts.
Inland, the Gorge of Verdun is spectacular, hire a Kayak and see it from the water.
Shopping for a lady, head up to Grasse, the home of French perfume. Lots of tours around the 'factories' available.
If you're heading down towards the Spanish border, Collioure is beautiful.

Following England I assume? I bet that would be very different?

Plus one for Carcasonne.

Depends what you like in a holiday. St Paul du Vence, Mende, Gorge Du Tarn. Annecy is stunning. And for a very moving experince you must take in Oradour Sur Glane, destroyed by the Nazis and most of the town massacred. Remains exactly as it was, with rusting cars and destroyed buildings.

Kept repeating that name to the point of annoyance, then realised it was the 'Tony Cascarino' link that was doing it!
Haven't taken in much of France (Paris area and the Vendee cost apart) but always wanted a gander. Thanks for the recommendations on here.
