I thought about Monte Carlo - but something about trying to get everyone to call me Bond, James Bond and losing the traveling fund while playing blackjack with a British accent seems like a bad idea...
Admittedly I didn't spend to much time thinking about the French Riviera - any place around there you would suggest?
Freesail:
Any suggestions on wineries to visit in Southern France?
teshannon:
Croatia sounds interesting... what has made it your favorite place?
Thanks All!

All of these places are at less than a day-cardrive from where I live (except Croatia, which is a couple of days drive). I know them all well and also other alternatives, but it would be good if you said what your budget is and something about your preferences (urban vs. landscape, well known glamurous places vs. getting a byte of old Europe real life, etc.).
I do have one piece of advice though: avoid doing what very often Americans travel agencies try to induce you to do (i.e., try to see all of Europe in a week) and concentrate in one or two nice interesting places: you will have much less little crosses marked in your atlas but you will get a much higher reward that with the feeling that "you spent a little bit of your life there". But that's my personal preference, which may not match your own preferences.
