In reply to jon_gill1:
Have you been to the Alpes Maritime area? Lots of crags with good sport climbing and a variety of grades.
Gorge du Loup - Lots of single pitch sport but also some really fun multipitch at L'Hermitage. Also try;
Greoliere, awesome spot with technical routes from 6a to 8a. Nice walk in as well.
Mesa Verde - One of my favourite crags in the area. Not much below 7a. Best for 7b and above.
La Phasme - Opposite Mesa Verde and gets sun in the afternoon. Fantastic tufa climbing! Some great routes at 6b and up. Can seep after rain, but it is only a 2 minute walk in so you can bin it quickly and go elsewhere if wet.
Outside of the gorge;
La Turbie - Lots of variety, though some some of the easier routes are polished. Busy at weekends.
Peillon - North of Monaco and La Turbie. 15-20 minute walk in. Good variety of routes and grades.
Gorbio - Haven't climbed there yet, but everyone I have spoken to says it is great with lots of routes in the 6's and low 7's.
There are loads of others in the area, but the above I do recommend.
We will be in the area for a week from Sat 24th Oct to Nov 1st. Drop me an email via here if you want to meet up at one of local crags.
There are lots of villages that specialise in the local arts and crafts, such as glass making, painting and others. Pay a visit to St Paul de Vence, really nice hill top village full of artisan shops.
