Planning a driving trip around France, starting from Bordeaux to Nice for about 7-10 days. Primary aim is to experience the cities beyond Paris, French countryside, particularly the autumn colors.

Looking forward to sharings/advice by those who have made the trip or visited interesting places along this route.
Marseille
Avignon
Nimes
Provence
Nice
Eze
Monaco (if there's time n budget)

Thanks in advance.

Hi bebebub,
Likely to be end Oct or early Nov.
Unconfirmed as it depends if I can get attractive airfares and have the time to plan the itinerary. Basically, I intend to spend max 2 wks in France or France plus Switzerland.
