South of France insiders guide

The south of France is known for its glitz and glamour with its glimmering beaches, delectable cuisine and overall pared-back pace of life, that will have you strolling through beachfront markets along cobblestoned streets.

With so much on offer, finding the best way to spend your holiday in the South of France is an overwhelming feat. However, our South of France travel guides make it easy to find the best holiday for you, from the best beaches and restaurants to showstopping activities for families and couples.

Let us do the hard work for you and explore our guides below.


Why Visit to the South of France

Distinctly different from France’s other hot spots like Paris and Bordeaux, there’s a certain magic here. Perhaps it’s the ivy-covered hilltop towns, the luxury yachts shining in the marina, or the endless chic café scene, anything feels possible here.

Touring the South of France is the chance to step back in time. Visit the 15th century with the charming mediaeval towns and carry on until you reach the 1950s with art deco cafés.

Perfect for families, couples, and special occasions alike, the South of France mesmerises with the Côte d’Azur, charms with Provence and dazzles with Cannes. No matter what you’re after, fine wines and cheese, sun-filled beaches, classic cuisine, or private boat trips, the South of France offers it all.
