[quote user="Sprogster"]Not sure if Nice is the best place for you to go at the moment, as the Cote D'Azur is by far the most expensive part of France and even more so than Paris and therefore jaw droppingly expensive in £ terms at the moment thanks to the very weak pound. So budget carefully.[/quote] That's something I shall definitely bear in mind. Thanks very much for raising it. If worst comes to worst, where else would be slightly more budget friendly? And thanks very much to all who have replied to this thread.
