Old town is wonderful. It's exactly the type of charm an American is looking for in a southern French city. Nice little shops, places to eat with absolutely excellent seafood and only across the street from the beach. Perfect for lunch or dinner. Unfortunetly I had one bad experiance. Chez Freddie. The seafood was excellent but, the staff was horrible.... more
