Editing to add....I just found in my notes the name of the restaurant I was referring to...it's called Haut de Cagnes in Le Cagnard
Bonnie,

Actually the hotel/restaurant is called Le Cagnard and it's located in Haut de Cagnes. We stayed there 25 years ago and I have fond memories of the hotel and the restaurant. My memory is of a narrow winding or curving road up to the hotel entrance which became narrower and narrower as you approaced the hotel. Finally, at the hotel, the road passed through an archway with an inch or two clearance on each side of our mid-size car. Amazingly, after driving the road a couple of times we were zipping up and down the road like locals.

There was an amusing incident concerning the road when we checked out of the hotel. We were waiting for the hotel valet to bring up our car when a Frenchman drove up, started to drive through the archway, saw how narrow it was and stopped. He refused to drive forward. Traffic instantly backed up behind him so he couldn't back up. The people in the cars behind him were irate; including one woman who was late for an appointment. There was a lot of yelling and gesturing. I learned a lot of French swear words that day. :D Finally, someone from the hotel drove the man's car through the archway. It was one of those odd moments that make trips memorable.
