Louise and I are getting married on the 16th July and are planning to honeymoon in your lovely country. We are planning spending the first week slowly driving down (in Louise's 200Tdi Range Rover) the east of the country, cross over the Alps and down into the Cote D'azur, where we plan to stay for the second week. I had two fantastic holidays at Frejus, when I was a child and have wanted to go back for 30 years. I love camping, but Louise has insisted that we stop in hotels and or book a gite.
I know nothing about hotels and even less about French hotels, so would be grateful for any info on what to look for and what to avoid? We are on a budget (need to save some money for our trip to Bannegon) so clean and cheap, is what I am after. I am planning on finding a gite for the second week, somewhere back from the south coast, but within driving distance. Again any advice on places to go or if you have ever booked a gite in this area, a recommended gite???
Recommendations on 'what not to miss' and places to visit in the east and south east are aslo very welcome.
All advice gratefully received.
Cheers Mick
