I loved "To Catch a Thief" and "French Kiss" as much as the next girl. But I have to confess: I think the French Riviera is overrated....
The slips of sand are the size of Bardot's bikini, a hamburger goes for 14 euros (and who would want one anyway?), and, despite what Hollywood depicts, you spend more time stuck in traffic than whizzing around la Grande Corniche with the top town.
That said, rather than a parade of North African refugees hawking made-in-China designer knockoffs for some Fagin character in the shadows, the French beach featured a father and son ringing little bells to sell their candied almonds. Every so often, they'd drop a sample on our towels.
