Thinking of going next year. Have been couple of times on Corporate gigs but this time under own steam with mates and prices are obscene!

Wondering what the standing/hillside area at Rocher is like for view and do I need to be there all night Saturday to get a decent place.

If you've been would appreciate any advice you can give ... cheers!

Would say if you want to save money, stay in Nice rather than Monaco. The view is not great from the hillside. Bit like watching from outside the circuit.

Mate has a motorhome so we're going down in that and staying somewhere easy to hop on train.

Was worried about the view, almost as bad as going to watch tennis on Henman hill or whatever it's called now

If you want a decent view on the hill...get there early doors and pitch your place for the rest of the day.
If the weather is bad, that hill can be a death trap with people sliding down the grassy bank.

Definitely worth staying in Nice and getting the train into Monaco each day. There's an Ibis hotel right near Nice train station which is good value.

Do not buy any food and drink in Monaco, as its 3 x times the price than in Nice.

Just above the chin.
If you've got the money it's worth booking a table at Porchinella, quality food and staff.
And it's celebrity galore in there, Ken Bates is always in there and Bernie and the drivers go there a lot aswell
