Short breaks in the south of France

The South of France is a great place to visit. Its climate is magnificent, with long, hot summer days which extend through to September and October.
The coastline has many sublime beaches. Visit a wide variety of places such as chic seaside resorts, old sleepy villages and amazing historical monuments dating back to even before Roman times.
If the Côte d'Azur can be very crowded in the height of the season, there are many other places where you can spend your summer holidays or take short breaks South of France. With beautiful towns and villages like Uzès, Mougins, Fayence, Cassis and Antibes, as well as unspoiled regions like the Luberon, the Verdon National Park and the Calanques, it is truly the ideal holiday destination in France.

The Côte d'Azur stretches for many kilometres along the magnificent coastal region - from Marseille to Monaco. Enjoy the view from the balcony of your Club Med accommodation. An enchanting vista of the azure blue sea framed by beautiful orange trees, palm trees, cacti and fragrant pine forests. There are stunning bays with both sand and pebble beaches. The French Riviera is interspersed with quaint fishing villages, historic towns and fashionable seaside towns such as Nice, Cannes, Saint-Tropez and Antibes.
There are many possibilities for day trips including sightseeing, wonderful shopping and vibrant markets. In Cannes, you can walk along the promenade and look at the luxury yachts moored in the harbour or in the two marinas: Port de Cannes, or Vieux Port as it is otherwise known, and Port Pierre Canto. Visit the city of Marseille, wander through the streets of Aix-en-Provence or go shopping in Nice. The Aqualand water park in Fréjus is an exciting and fun place for children.
