Does this itinarary sound feasible?

Hello

We wanted to see both Bordeaux and the Province/St Tropaz areas. We propose:

2 nights in Bourdeaux

1 night in St Emillion

(in this time we want to see Medoc, Sauternes and all the surrounding wineries of note)

Drive to Avignon stay one night, possibly do Chateau Neuf Du Pape?

Drive to Canne- 2 nights in Canne

1 night in Monaco

1 night in Nice

Drive back to Calis stopping via Reims for one night

Is this enough time in the Bourdeaux region to see all there is to offer? Also Do you know how long the drive from Bourdeaux-Avignon would roughly be?

Thanks!

it takes 5h30 from bordeaux to Avignon (550 km of only highway)

2/3 days in bordeaux area should be ok to see everything (of course more time is always better)

I will give you as advice if you are in Cotes du Rhone area is not to miss northen Cotes du Rhones which gets prestigious wine as Condrieu (terrific ,my best white wine among all french wine) and Chateau Grillet the only wine in French which is both a unique casttle but also an appellation, and also Saint Joseph and Hermitage for both red and white) and Cotes Rotie (red)

Concerning Cannes Monaco and Nices, all the 3 town are quite close and you could decide to stay on ly in one if you want or why not in a small village near the sea as Eze or Beaulieu su Mer

Another question - when are you going? If it%26#39;s in July or August, my advice would be to skip Nice, Cannes and Monaco unless you like crowds. The traffic is terrible, and you%26#39;re packed like sardines on the beaches.

Also, your itinerary has alot of your vacation time spent driving. Why not visit fewer places, and spend a bit more time exploring each?

Thanks for the responses. Yes it will be July. I know it will be crowded but i have to do it as it will be my only chance in some time. Are there parking buidings around Nice/Canne and how much do you think it would cost to park a car?
