The South of France is not just about wine and olive oil. It’s not just about beaches and sunshine. It’s not even just about chic boutiques and Michelin-starred restaurants.
Although those things do of course make the region one of the most popular in Europe. What does this mean for you? A perfect combination of relaxed strolls around historic villages and cities, to the hustle and bustle of Cannes and the Cote d’Azur. The food in the region is a blend of Mediterranean influence from neighbouring countries and Traditional French. It’s fresh, healthy, seasonal and delicious. You’ll find lots of fish and seafood on menus, as well as seasonal vegetables and fresh fruit.
The beaches of the South of France are some of its most popular attractions. The region’s coastline is lined with fine sand, which gives way to pine forests that run along the beach in either direction.
For this reason the typical French beach is sparsely populated and rarely crowded, unless you are in Cannes in the height of summer. Here you can lunch in one of the many fabulous beach side restaurants. Enjoy fresh fish and sushi to be mist delicious local rose wines or fresh juices.
When to go
Locals will say that the June-August period is when the region is at its busiest and when the sun never fails to shine. Temperatures can however get very high so May, September or October may be preferable in order to savour mild temperatures at your own pace.
