we are taking our motorhome with m.bike, to the south of france shortly & would like to visit monte carlo.  has anyone else done this as we've been advised motorhomes & motor bikes are not allowed ,or can anyone recommend anywhere to stay nearby with public transport nearby. many thanks

When we went to the Monaco Grand Prix a few years ago we stayed near Antibes and caught the train (walking distance from the campsite) to Monaco. I am sure you could get a bit nearer to Monaco, perhaps somewhere near Nice.

Like others, we have camped at Biot, "La Brague" and "Camping du Pylon", close to Antibes and Nice.

Have driven into Monte Carlo a few times, but car only, and parking has been hit and miss, and some times free!, but would not wan't to attempt it in a motorhome, even the small tunnels on the coast road west side comming into to Nice have a 2m height restriction!.

The train is the easist by far, cheap and quick, and the station at Biot, is yards from the campsite gates.

I agree, we stayed on a site opposite the station at Biot, between Antibes and Nice, and used the train quite a lot.
From what people have said on here, the buses seem to be cheaper, but the train gives you a chance to get away from the traffic! Besides, we like trains.

Helicopter is the only way to arrive in Monte Carlo or luxury yacht of course

Joking aside if you fancy treating yourself it is a great ride from Nice airport in Monte Carlo and won't cost you and arm and a leg (just one or other)
