Advantages: food every one knows Disadvantages: food without a personality
...This restaurant provides an alternative fun option for dinning and just hanging out in the Principality. As is well known, Monaco provides exceptional options for French, Italian, and Japanese Cuisine, but usually a high price tag accompanies this excellence. Stars \'n Bars has a huge selection of dishes from the Americas, ranging from Taco\'s to Burgers to Buffalo Wings. The plates are also designed to cater to American portions as these are sometimes three times bigger than the typical French meal.
First of all, the location of Stars \'n Bars is a very smart one. Located on the Port de Monaco, this American bar has great appeal for both locals and visitors.

...Cannes, best known for its prestigious film festival is a glamorous and exquisite town in French Riviera. It has beautiful sandy beaches along the deep blue Mediterranean and the town harbor is packed with exquisite and expensive boats and yachts.

During the film festival each year, this small...

Advantages: Glamorous, no mosquitos, cultural, beautiful, an experience Disadvantages: Full of silly little poodles & their equally silly owners - can be expensive if you don't watch the prices
...Beleive it or not, it is possible to have a week in Cannes & spend no more than you would anywhere else in the Med! I was in Cannes years ago & did find it terribly expensive (but we were young, on the prowl & in search of nothing but drink & men... but not necessarily in that order).
This time however, we were on a different mission - a secret trip to the Monaco Grand Prix - tickets were a surprise 30th birthday present for my loved one - and boy was he surprised! The GP is great but it was only a small reason why we chose Cannes.
We had lovely accommodation - the Resideal Cannes right behind the Carlton & the Noga Hilton on the Croisette. It had a lovely pool, was 30 seconds from the Croisette & Rue d'Antibes & was gorgeous. The bar however, was a total rip off! We went to the supermarket in search of cheap & we certainly...
