I have been staying in the South of France for some time... and I have to agree with Carolynne... the people are rude, inconsiderate, aloof, and in my opinion, just plain ignorant (in general!) I feel bad for the people who are considerate, polite, and intelligent, they need to rise up and clean this ancient Roman empire up! You can't imagine how bad the air quality is near Nice - LOTS of people and companies just burn their rubbish, (who cares about NEIGHBORS!) ... there are millions of two-stroke motorcycles everywhere, not to mention the cigarettes, and dog poop! The environment is disgusting! Holland here I come!
