France Guide: Where is it
The South of France has the enviable blend of miles of coastline and fertile agricultural landscapes and has been the inspiration 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 country’s shore that runs between Spain and Italy, and the rustic 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 am I able to stay?
Unsurprisingly, for somewhere as well liked as the South of France, there is no deficit of hostels, guesthouses, bed and breakfasts and camp sites. For a true taste of the area though, stay in one of our advocated boutique hostels. Tiny and intimate, they are a home from home and turn a basic holiday into a luxury retreat. All of these hotels offer well-designed and recent rooms and the service is discreet and impeccable. Good food customarily goes side by side with the cool rooms and public areas – by selecting one of these hotels you will be treating yourself to a memorable stay in the South of France.
What am I able to see?
The South of France is too big an area to be totally explored in a single holiday, and is the reason why many people return year by year. Some of France’s most expensive resorts lie on the south coast, including St. Tropez and Cannes, and where better to look at the yachts and fashions of the rich 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, zones of vineyards and swathes of wild flowers. With no shortage of consequential buildings, local marketplaces and museums to explore, the South of France has something for everybody.
How do I am getting around?
if you are planning on exploring the South of France, you should hire a vehicle. The French, like most European states, drive on the right hand side of the road and the roads are largely carefully maintained, although many are toll-controlled and you will have to pay at marked toll stations to use the main road network. If you are planning on staying mostly in one place and just visiting major towns or traveller areas, then opt for the train system, operated by SNCF.
