I'd still like to live somewhere around Nice, France but if I only have enough for 6 months I suppose it would have to be my last 6 months.

I'm with you there...a bit inland

https://goo.gl/maps/CB9hrquMnt32

with a view like this, a bakery nearby and maybe a bar as well...within striking distance of the Alps, home games for Nice and Monaco and without some of the crazy coastline prices.

and beautiful scenery like this nearby

I always imagine the entrance to Hell resembles the junction of I-5 and I-805 northbound at rush hour (or pretty much any hour nowadays).

Noumea, New Caledonia. Not quite as isolated as French Polynesia and it's larger. Although it does rain a lot there so I might have to have somewhere else to escape to.

Main downside being too many Australian tourists.

You can keep French Polynesia, I wasn't impressed when I was in Tahiti for 2 weeks, 33 years ago, I had the worst food poisoning in my life after our first night (as did the family we met up with).. though the Cook Islands were lovely and the people wonderful, as was Fiji and the Fijians.
