Carlo, only a 45 mins drive, good hwy. Or train goes to a beautiful station and walk down to casino's. Been in S. France many times. A great Antique store off main street near ocean in Nice John Benedict sent me, have many neat old rare stuff. If John reads this post, he'll give you easy directions near the casinos in Nice. I love this area, if you have time drive down the freeway to the San Remo on the beautiful northern coast of Italy. Wish I was with you a great part of Europe.
