The OFFICIAL Monaco and French Riviera Thread.

Any suggestions on must see stuff around the area? My family and a few others are all staying in Cassis this summer for about a week.
I've been to Monaco/French Riviera a few times, but I dont think the other's have, so we'll probably do that. We'll probably skip St. Tropez cause of the traffic.
We were planning on seeing Aux en Provence and the Roman Aquaduct....anything that you think is a must see in the area?

Here are a few suggestions:
MONACO
Always worth a visit.... The casino, the port, the cars, shopping, the old Monaco
and the castle.
EZE
Small medieval village is famous for its beauty and charm. Its many shops, art galleries, hotels and restaurants attract a large number of tourists and honeymooners. Eze has been described as an “eagle's nest” because of its location overlooking a high cliff 427 meters (1,401 ft) above sea level on the French Mediterranean. It is famous worldwide for the view of the sea from its hill top. Walt Disney spent a significant amount of time in Èze.
NICE
The most underrated sight on the French Riviera which is a shame. The city is called Nice la Belle, which means Nice the Beautiful.
While Monte Carlo and Cannes are "villages" this is a relatively big city ( 350.000, and around one million in the Nice area ) with all your heart can desire. Cheaper shopping, more restaurants, the castle and not to forget.. old Nice which is truly amazing.
And then of course the city’s museums, including Musée Marc Chagall, Musée Matisse and Musée des Beaux-Arts Jules Chéret.
The area of today’s Nice is believed to be among the oldest human settlements in Europe.
