Thanks all. A couple of corrections: The Nice Carnival theme was Disney and Fete du Citroen was The Olympics.

I’ve not been to Boit, Bill is it near Grasse? cDG was fine Julie and the staff at the hotel were very friendly. Mind you I did speak French which helped.

Thanks chaps and thanks Sharpal7 CDG info was useful. There has been lots of building work there so ended up using the Navette around the terminals on the Friday.
