Some viewpoints, like Monte Carlo, are hard to find, not accessible by car, and lack railings; others, like Mont Boron, might have trash or be hangout spots.
Expect coffee prices to be high, as reviewers note this is common everywhere these days.
Some coffee shops are not laptop-friendly, so plan accordingly if you need to work.

Everyday costs to consider

Paris: Expect prices for coffee and other items to be high, as reviewers note this is common everywhere.
Marseille: Hiking in the Calanques (e.g., Belvédère de Sugiton) has no cost for parking or entry, while coffee and breakfast at places like le petit cafe are very reasonably priced.
Lyon: Expect to pay around 2,80€ for a cinnamon roll at places like Piece of Cake, while eating in at a cafe like Duclef Café Pâtisserie on a Sunday can cost 9.10€, with drinks being a bit higher.
