Agathe, a young Belgian girl, has won a two weeks’ holiday on the Côte d’Azur.  She sets out, hitchhiking her way to Paris, hoping that at her journey’s end she will meet her Prince Charming.  Unfortunately, her adventure will be very different from what she had imagined and she will learn that people do not always act through the best intentions.  She accepts willingly when a 40-something man invites her to have dinner with him at a posh restaurant but makes a hasty retreat when she realises what he has planned in the way of after dinner entertainment.   Next, she falls for an airline pilot.  He offers to take her to Nice, but it is obvious that the price of her ticket will be more than she is willing to pay.  So, it’s back to the open road, and Agathe is still confident that, in spite of everything, love and happiness await her on the Riviera...
