Nice weekend.

We're staying in Cannes this August as part of the family holiday and I will be dragging them to Monaco for a day trip. Any tips for Monaco and seeing as much of the GP route? How long did it take you driving from Nice to Monaco? Is there any control (document etc.) on entering Monaco?

didn't get checked, just eyeballed going into Monaco, but there again we had a french minibus... as far as the Gp circuit is concerned.. it's fairly easy to work out.. the only bit we couldn't do was casino square.. as it was full of posh cars for some sort of function by the look of it..

Parking at the marina was easy as it was a weekend and is free at weekends and holidays... don't miss out on a trip to nice either.. quite a nice place in the old town / marina area..

takes about 20-25 mins from nice to monaco and 2 tolls, one of 0,90 and the other 2,20 IIRC..

couldn't believe how little it cost overall.. £50 filght, £50 two days hotel, £30 for bus hire (between 7 of us), 5 euro's each in diesel, and beer money lol!!

I used to ski in Isola when I was living in the area and really miss it now. Unforunately I have never watched the Trophee Andros.
Did you enjoy the twisty road from Nice up to Isola?

to be honest I wish I'd had the scoob and not a 9 seat reanault mini bus up those roads... quite entertaining I tell you!!!

Trophy Andros is a must.. the racing is fantastic and very sideways!!!

Take the coast rd between Nice an Monaco. Takes a bit longer but scenery is lovely, no tolls and lots of little villages to stop in along the way.
