Eat at lunchtime rather than dinnertime<\/strong><\/p>\n

For the duration of your holiday, it is advisable that you adopt the Mediterranean-style of dining and eat your main meal at lunchtime rather than dinnertime, for the purposes of saving money that is. Many of the restaurants have \u2018plat du jour\u2019 menus available at lunchtime and not at dinnertime. Often these menus can be as little as 10 euros, whereas the same meal in the evening could cost up to three times as much.<\/p>\n

Stock up at supermarkets<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whilst wandering around the quirky markets and village shops on the Cote d\u2019Azur is a delightful experience, markets and independent shops can be expensive.
