  Gives a fresh view of the legendary hot-spots, and reveals the hidden charms of the hinterland in Europe's favourite fantasy escape - swans around Brigette Bardot's former haunts in St Tropez, explores Monaco's glittering nightlife, and smells the money in Monte Carlo's glamorous casinos - takes in the fragrant plains that produce flowers, wine and herbs, and visits tranquil villages - picks out the most stylish bars, and restaurants in which to pose 'The presence of so many rich, idle foreigners who stayed for months at a time formed a large part of the city's character: corruption, reactionary politics and organized crime are part of the famous salade nicoise, along with a high density of apricot poodles and frown-faced poodle ladies. But Nice also has a university, big culture, the brilliant light that Matisse loved and a genuine identity as a city - rough, affable and informal.'
