Will Be Traveling to Cannes for a Wedding; Flying Into Barcelona, Best Recommendation for Somewhere to See In Between?
Hola/bonjour. I have a wedding in Cannes coming up in the middle of June and have decided to make a weeklong trip out of it. I found it cheapest to fly into Barcelona so I'll be seeing that city as a bookend on either end. Since I am aware that Cannes is actually quite far from Barcelona by train, I figured to break up the trip with a day in between. As much as I would love to see everything in Southern France, alas, I only have so much time and money and can probably only really spare a day.
With that said, I know Montpellier and Marseille are the two biggest cities in between Barcelona and Cannes so was wondering what the consensus would be on which would be the better visit as a tourist? Or should I do neither and is there a more interesting and welcoming town in the French Riviera that folks would recommend over both of those?
