This is a 3 hour drive making it a stretch for a day trip, but it's a beautiful drive. Dali lived here for many years. You can visit his home, but you almost certainly need to reserve at least a week in advance. The town itself is also nice as it sits right on cove.

Nice old town. I think it's home to the only duchy left in France (though I can't recommend visiting the duchy as it is overpriced). Visit the tower in the medieval garden instead. There's a Haribo Candy museum on the outskirts of town as well as a fantastic Belgian Fry place. Over 90 minutes away.
