Trains -- they are not always marked to show where they are going and when they are marked they only show the very last stop. When leaving Nice to go to Monte Carlo, you must get on the Ventemille train. So to sucessfully navigate the vagaries of the French train system you will need a map of nearly every train. I think we have a book like this but left it at home because it’s the size (and weight) of a brick.
Dinner service -- It starts at 7:30 and not a moment before. Prior to that you can have espresso, wine, beer or any other beverage -- just not food, not a snack, not a bowl of nuts, not event pretzels. So if you are hungry between 2pm and 7pm head to the store for a baguette and cheese or starve. It’s your choice.
That’s about it. One more thing, the French can be.. well.. French. It doesn’t happy very often, but when it does, you know it. That’s about it. Everything else is wonderful.
