Do you know of a scooter rental place and have an email I can send them a question?

Hi all, I was in Nice 2 years ago for the first time and loved it however with the kids they got very bored very quick, I am wanting to go back next year at the end of May and was wondering if there are any local playgrounds or parks for kids to go to ages 3 1/2 and 5. I know of the park in Antibes and will go there but local parks I would like to find. Also is it true that there is always an amusement park in the old town ? Thank you in advance :)

My family and I will be arriving by cruise ship in Villefranche sur Mer at 9 am and departing at 9 pm. We would like to rent bikes and ride to Monaco via Cap Ferat and return to Villefranche sur Mer. How long will that take us to bike? Are there any cafes or sights along the way that should not be missed?

Hi,
In July I'm visiting friends in Vallauris. I'm planning to take a trip to Paris and stay there for some days.
As I see it, I can take a train fram Vallauris to Nice and then take either a train or a plane to Paris. But I'm not sure how to get from Vallauris to Paris the easiest and cheapest.way?
Best regards

Hi, I will be attending a summer course at Prodarom in Grasse this summer. My question is regarding accommodation - suggestions for nice hotels or possibly apartment rental and whether it is better to stay close to the GIP or in the centre and go by bus or foot? I have not been to Grasse so am unfamiliar with the distances between places. I will not have a car but like to walk :) Any advise is much appreciated! Best regards, Sylvia

Our ship will be docking in Toulon, France early December. I am thinking Aix en Provence is probably the best choice. Does anyone know of good shore excursion companies? I would really like to tour a perfumerie or lavender field, but I don't think lavender is in season that time of year :(

We will be in Quissac for 3 weeks in August & would like to stay a few nights in Aix. Could someone please recommend a place. Also would you recommend having the use of a car in Aix.

We were planning to take a train from Arles to Avignon and then the navette to the Avignon TGV station, but I noticed in Rick Steves that there is a direct SNCF bus to the Avignon TGV station. We would take that on the way back to Aix-en-Provence, so I think it would save a little time. I looked and saw that there is a bus station in Arles, as well as the train station, but then it dawned on me that Rick Steves didn't say where to catch the SNCF bus. Anyone know?
