France Guide: What Can I See
The South of France has the enviable fusion of miles of shore and fertile rustic landscapes and has been the foundation for artists, composers and writers as well as the new visitor.
Where is it?
The term’South of France’ is generally used to describe the southern stretch of the state’s coastline that runs between Spain and Italy, and the agricultural inland areas that include Provence and the Lubron. With its warm climate, fruitful landscape and developed coastline, it is one of the most regularly-visited parts of Europe.
Where can I stay?
Unsurprisingly, for somewhere as popular as the South of France, there is no deficit of hotels, guesthouses, bed and breakfasts and camp sites. For a real flavour of the area though, stay in one of our counseled boutique hostels. Little and intimate, they are definitely a home from home and turn a basic holiday into a luxury retreat. All these hostels offer well-designed and recent rooms and the service is discreet and excellent. Great food often goes side by side with the cool rooms and public areas – by choosing one of these hostels you will be treating yourself to a memorable stay in the South of France.
What can I see?
The South of France is too large an area to be entirely explored in a single vacation, which is the reason why many folk return year on year. Some of France’s most dear resorts lie on the south coast, including St. Tropez and Cannes, and where better to observe the yachts and fashions of the wealthy and famous? The area is known for its coastline, sailing and water sports and for the towns that lie near it : Nice, Marseilles and Montpelier for example. Inland, Provence is well-known for its rolling landscapes, stretches of vineyards and swathes of wild flowers. With no scarcity of historic buildings, local marketplaces and museums to explore, the South of France has something for everybody.
How do I get around?
if you are planning on exploring the South of France, you must hire an auto. The French, like most European states, drive on the right hand side of the road and the roads are basically professionally maintained, although many are toll-controlled and you’ll have to pay at marked toll stations to use the main road network. If you are planning on staying often in one place and just visiting major cities or traveller areas, then go for the train system, controlled by SNCF.
