Cannes or Nice
I'd love to be able to fuel upon arrival. But nature of some operations negate the option, as putting return fuel to North America on, screws you when the boss wants to go to Palma!
As far as the speaking French issue goes, although they despise my Quebec french it still works, and I can see no difference in attitude towards Nationals, myself and Anglais!
While I was fueling last Sunday, before the driver called it quits for the day, 2 other locals were begging him for fuel. They had pax waiting on board, and very tight on fuel. One guy even asked me to give up fueling, so he could get enough to get out of there. Even though that would have left me without fuel to go home. How many guys are departing with absolutely min. fuel because of the situation. I'm just suggesting that no matter how well you plan and know the "tricks" it can still bite you in Nice!
But it's still great to go and watch the girls at the beach!
