is nice overrated for a babymoon in france?

My husband and I are about to take our last big trip before the baby arrives—one last hurrah as just the two of us, and honestly, I’m both excited and a little nervous. We’ve always loved traveling together, but this time feels different, like the end of an era. We’re thinking about the South of France for a long weekend in September, hoping for beautiful scenery, good food, and a chance to just relax before life changes forever. Everyone keeps telling us to go to Nice, but I can’t help but wonder if it’s just a tourist trap these days. I’d love to find a quieter spot, maybe somewhere with fewer crowds and more charm. I’m six months pregnant, so I’m not exactly up for hiking up mountains or squeezing through packed markets. I just want a place where we can stroll, eat well, and soak in the views without feeling like we’re in a postcard with a thousand other people. Has anyone found a hidden gem in the South of France that isn’t overrun with tourists? I’m starting to feel like every American just goes to Nice because it’s easy, but maybe we’re missing out on something better. I’d hate to spend our last trip as a couple fighting crowds and waiting in line for mediocre food. If you’ve been somewhere that surprised you (in a good or bad way), I’d love to hear about it. It’s so hard to know what’s actually worth it and what’s just Instagram hype. Traveling while pregnant is already a challenge—I just want to make sure it’s worth the effort. #babymoon #southoffrance #travelquestions #Travel

should we squeeze in a trip to saint-tropez?

We're heading to a wedding in the South of France—lucky us, right? The plan is packed with events in Cannes, Nice, and even Monaco. But now I'm wondering if we should try to fit in a visit to Saint-Tropez. Last time we were in the area, we spent hours wandering those little streets in Nice, and honestly, I still dream about the pastries. But Saint-Tropez always seems just out of reach—like it's glamorous but maybe a hassle to get to. Is it really worth the detour, or is it all hype? And if we do go, how do we even get there from Nice without spending half the day in traffic or on a boat? Also, if we splurge on a night or two, is there a hotel or restaurant that actually lives up to the five-star price tag? I keep hearing mixed reviews—some people say it's magical, others say it's just crowded and overpriced. Anyone else wrestle with this? #southoffrance #sainttropez #travelquestions #Travel
