During the Roaring Twenties, a generation of American writers and artists left the US for Europe; for more than a decade, many considered France their second home. Through encounters with artists such as Picasso, Léger and Matisse—as well as their own countrymen—they generated a unique artistic dynamic. Their arrival on the Côte d’Azur in the summer of 1925 helped to form the Riviera we know today, as they recreated a version of Miami Beach in Juan-les-Pins, imported jazz, basketball and the Charleston…and, in 1944, brought freedom to a country at war. Trace their history from Juan-les-Pins to Valescure, from the Rhône American Cemetery to the landing site of Dramont, and relive this extraordinary era as you visit the villa where Fitzgerald penned The Great Gatsby or Hemingway’s beach in Mandelieu, discovering the coast through the eyes and the words of America’s most legendary expatriates.

Saint-Tropez might be best known as a summer playground for the rich and famous, but the famous fishing village actually offers much more than that.

TravelTips

Time France is 6 hours ahead of Eastern Daylight Time in the United States. (10 a.m.

in US = 4 p.m. in France.) Times are generally indicated in a 24-hour clock, e.g. 14:00 instead of 2 p.m., 19:00 instead of 7 p.m., etc.

UsingPhonesinFrance

French phone numbers consist of 10 digits, all beginning with 0. Generally speaking, numbers starting with 06 and 07 are cell phones, while other numbers are specific to a region (for instance, 01 for Paris numbers, 04 for South of France numbers). The country code for France is 33.

To call French numbers from the US (or from some US cell phones), dial 011

(international access) + 33 (French country code) + the nine digit phone number, dropping the initial 0.

To call a French number within France, drop the country code and dial the 10-

digit number, including the initial 0. To call US numbers from France, dial 001 + the area code + the phone number. For example, when dialling the number +33 6 33 28 59 24, dial 06 33 28 59 24

(within France) or 011 33 6 33 28 59 24 (from the US and from some US cell phones).

Never walk into a store, restaurant or another place of business without first saying, "Bonjour" to the proprietor, your server or the person at the counter. Failure to do so is seen as a personal affront in France.

Electricity French electricity runs at 220 volts and 50 cycles. Appliances from the US that are not battery-operated will need an adapter and transformer.

Gratuities Generally speaking, tips are included (service compris) in the final bill at

restaurants and cafés (unless the invoice states service non compris). However, it is customary to leave an additional gratuity. The following are suggested tipping guidelines, subject to the quality of service received:

bill or round the bill up to the nearest whole figure. Optionally, leave €1 to €2 per every €20.

CoatCheck An optional tip of €1 is appropriate

Bartender Leave the change or round up to the nearest whole figure on the total bill for

drinks.

Guide An optional tip of 10% is appropriate, depending on the level of service.

Taxis Tips are not expected, but you can round up or offer 5 per cent of the final fare if the driver helped with your luggage.

Doorman Tip €1 if the doorman helped hail a cab or brings in your luggage.

Bellhop €1 to €2 per bag, depending on size.

Housecleaning Leave a tip in your room of €1 to €2 per day. While not obligatory, it is a

considerate way to thank the housekeeping staff.

Concierge If the concierge goes above and beyond with helping you book reservations, giving you directions, and providing insider recommendations, it’s considerate to tip €5 to €10.

Hairdresser/Beautician Tip 10 per cent tip of the total cost.

Shopping Most larger grocery stores and department stores are open from 9 a.m. (or

earlier) until 7 or 8 p.m. (sometimes later in summer). Smaller stores may close during the lunch period, from as early as noon until 2 p.m. or 3 p.m. Many stores are closed on Sunday, while stores that are open through the weekend tend to close on Monday.

Most grocery stores no longer provide shopping bags free of charge. You may

bring your own bags, or purchase paper, plastic, or reusable bags at the store.

Markets Every town and village in France has a specified open-air “market day” during the week, where you can find everything from clothing and household goods to specialty food products and flowers. Check with your hotel or the local tourist office to find out the day of the market where you are staying.

Pharmacies Pharmacies in France carry a large range of prescription and non-prescription

drugs as well as personal care products. Pharmacists in France are highly trained and are an excellent resource for medical advice if a doctor is not available. Most pharmacies are closed on Sundays and many close during the lunch period. However, every town or community is required to have a pharmacie de garde, designated on a rotating basis, that is open on Sundays, holidays, and outside of normal business hours. Lists of the nearest pharmacies de garde are posted in every pharmacy and also available online.
