Last trip I did to that part of the world a couple of years ago was to Corsica via Dijon and Cannes. My last experience of Dijon was they are not the most helpful controllers in the world (Civil/Military field) and I seem to remeber its an automatic responder on the approach freq. at weekends- probably worth a call in advance to see what the current state of play is. If you are stopping the night in Cannes there's a Campanile hotel in the entrance drive to the airport which isn't at all bad, pool, pleasant outdoor restaurant, used to be about £38/night for a double, don't think the cab was to expensive to the town centre. I went to Ajaccio the last time, but routing across is pretty similar, IE via MERLU, make sure you've got an up to date plate for the low level VFR routes/VRP's around Cannes/Nice as they'll get shirty if you don't know where they're talking about. If you've got time on Corsica, get a car and drive to Corte in the middle of the island, its the old capital and is worth a visit.....have fun.
