Is 2 days enough for the route from Avignon to Lake Sainte-Croix and then on to Nice? Where is it more convenient to stay along the way ?

We also have only two days, do you know which place is suitable to live?

QEEQ User

It should be okay, the distance is not far.

To see clearly what level of road it is. Also take photos and walk along the way.

QEEQ User

Time is not a problem. Avignon to Lake Sainte-Croix is about 170 kilometers, and Lake Sainte-Croix to Nice is about 140 kilometers. In my opinion, you can actually skip the accommodation in the middle and stay in Antibes for one night!

QEEQ User

We gave up on Lake Sanqixi and went directly to Nice.

Thank you all for your answers. In the end, we booked a hotel in Manosque town and stayed for one night.

You will stay in Grasse for a relatively long time, especially if you want to make perfumes by yourself. You must make an appointment in advance, otherwise it will not be arranged.

Thank you, but I'm not very interested in perfumes. I'll just take a look.

Then there's no need to turn there. It's just a mountain town.

Is it safe to drive from Avignon to Marseille? How long will it take? Thank you!

Eastern Sea

I think it's not enough. There are many small towns around here that are worth visiting. If you don't go, you will regret it.

There are unique towns like the stone city and the red earth city near Avignon, as well as historically significant towns like Arles, Aix, and Nimes. How about not seeing them? There's also the famous perfume town of Grasse near Nice, all of which need time to slowly explore.

I am going to drive by myself from July 14th to July 22nd. On the morning of July 16th, I will leave Avignon and go through the City of Stone, Senanque Abbey, Red Earth City, Valence, Ceramic Town, Sainte-Croix Lake, and stay in a town by the lake for one night. On the morning of July 17th, I will leave Sainte-Croix Lake and go to Grasse, Cannes, Antibes Cape, Saint Paul de Vence, and Nice.

We arrived in Paris on the 13th and stayed for 6 days, then drove to Fontainebleau, Lyon, Nice, Monaco, Genoa, Florence, and arrived in Rome yesterday. We were on edge the whole way... First of all, the temperature here is not hot. The wind is quite cold. We have to wear down jackets and woolen hats to keep warm. It is not recommended to drive in the city of Paris. It is difficult to find parking spaces on the road surface. The entrances and exits of underground parking lots are too narrow and difficult to find. Navigation mainly relies on the map built into the Apple phone, which is actually a collaboration with Tom Tom and is very accurate. The maps we downloaded at home are not very reliable, including Google Maps. We were misled several times, even guided to a snow-covered mountain road at night. Maybe it's because we didn't enter the address accurately. Remember to enter the postal code of the region. Google Play needs to be installed to have offline maps, so you must have wireless WiFi. The high-speed rail here is very fast. France is 130 and Italy is 110. I think this is the lowest speed. There will always be cars following me to drive. After all, the car company gave me a top-of-the-line Mercedes-Benz E200 station wagon, black German license plate, which is too eye-catching. This caused me to park in the underground garage and dare not park on the road, for fear that my car windows would be broken and my bag would be stolen. All overtaking must be done from the left side, and then the left lane must be given up. It is forbidden to occupy the left lane for a long time. Right-hand overtaking is strictly prohibited, which is very dangerous! Highways need to prepare some 50, 20, 10, 5, 2, 1, and 0.5 euro banknotes and coins in advance. Do not enter the electronic payment channel by mistake. France and Italy have many dark tunnels that are relatively narrow. Overtaking and turning do not slow down. It feels like you're driving a race car, so small cars are popular here. Their control performance is good. Remember not to rent big cars! My Mercedes-Benz is too long, and the city control is really a bit difficult. Those streets, tunnels, and parking lot passages are really narrow! Bring fewer luggage when you go out ? France Q&A

Worried about the road conditions from Avignon to Senanque Abbey, Gordes, Valensole, and then to Aix en Provence early the next morning? Is it easy to drive? Is there a tricky turn to the abbey? Is it a cliffside road or a steep hill? I'm most afraid of driving on cliffside roads, but I'm not afraid of anything else. I've rented a small SUV ? France Q&A

Friends renting from Hertz at Charles de Gaulle Airport should be aware of their consumption trap. The staff will always quote prices in euros and the credit card pre-authorization will also be in euros. As you are in Europe, you naturally assume that the expenses are in euros. However, you will find that you have been charged in dollars on the actual bill, and the exchange rate is relatively unreasonable. If you carefully look at the Hertz invoice, it does mention that you can pay in US dollars, but no one will ask you if you want to choose US dollars because the pre-authorization has already been opened, and there is no need to swipe your credit card again when changing the car. They will directly charge you in US dollars, and their exchange rate may result in overcharging you. I was overcharged more than 300 RMB for one transaction ? France Q&A
