How To Have An Epic South Of France Road Trip [Video]

By Jessie Festa. This post contains affiliate links and is part of a series based on my boyfriend’s and my two-week road trip through the South of France.  Follow our journey here . 

“The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for a newer and richer experience.” ― Eleanor Roosevelt

Our two-week road trip through the South of France — specifically from Nice to Marseille by car — certainly was rich.

And I don’t just mean with fatty cheeses and generously poured glasses of red wine.

Typically when I travel I find myself holed up in my AirBnB typing away for work more often that I’d like to admit; however, this trip was different.

Even if I wanted to increase my screen time it would have been hard.

Hey, it’s no easy feat prying your eyes away from Provence’s endless rows of cabernet and olive trees or the beautiful beaches and beach clubs of the French Riviera .

There’s no doubt we had an amazing time, though it wasn’t until after I’d returned home that I really thought about what exactly  made Provence a place I’d recommend.

Yes, there are certain challenges when it comes to driving (no offense, the French are crazy) and cultural differences; however, once you understand these you’ll have a much easier time enjoying the plethora of things to do.

Let’s dive into how to plan the perfect southern France itinerary and road trip!

South Of France Road Trip Experiences

Sure, there are plenty of great destinations with diverse activities; however, the South of France takes it to another level. For me, the Nice to Marseille route is one of the best road trips in France.

We loved being able to hop in a car and within an hour be at a completely new place.

Along every winding coastal or mountainside drive there were numerous medieval villages, scenic adventures, beautiful beaches, buzzworthy wineries, delicious restaurants and more to discover.

Use Discover Cars to quickly compare your car rental options.

Their comparison tool does the homework for you, so there’s no need to have up 10+ tabs trying to figure out which company is the most affordable.

Where To Eat In Nice

We had a bit of a rocky start in Nice, and I’m not referring to the beaches (which are gorgeous, but rocky).

It mainly had to do with the driving.

French drivers, especially in Nice, literally zoom around with no rules, driving into oncoming traffic, swerving onto sidewalks and cutting you off.

It’s a lot to handle at first, though we were happy we had the car for the many day trips we did  and for continuing our journey.

Things immediately took a turn for the better when we parked the car to explore on foot, especially in Old Town where we had our first local meal at A Buteghinna .

The restaurant holds a “Cuisine Nissarde” certification , meaning they uphold the traditions of Niçoise cuisine, regionally specific from “French cuisine.”

From the panisse (chic pea fries) to the soupe au pistou (a basil soup) every dish took us on an educational culinary journey, telling the story of Nice’s relationship with Italy and the city’s Mediterranean location.

From a typical Nice dinner in a local home through BonAppetour to local street foods like socca (fried chic pea bread) and pan-bagnat  (Nicoise salad on bread) we immersed ourselves in local Nice foods, though one of our favorite meals was at the globally-inspired  Le Vingt4 .

The venue sources the best regional ingredients in the world with wines from the same place to pair.

In classic Mediterranean fashion the chef let the flavors speak for themselves, keeping ingredients as raw as possible.

Simple yet decadent is the best description.

I mean Brie de Meaux laced with mascarpone and winter truffle paired with Herbelet Champagne Grand Cru?

The French really do pay attention to detail and make eating an experience whether it’s local or global cuisine.

Day Trips From Cannes

And the wine is important, too.

Cannes is great, but we opted for constant day tripping over spending much time in the city.

This is when we were introduced to the wine and adventure of the Côte d’Azur.

The destination in mind for our Cannes day trip was La Croix Valmer to hike Les 3 Caps (the Three Capes) from the Plage de Gigaro (Gigaro Beach).

First of all, WOW.

Do this hike, even if just a section.

You’ll walk along the coast, into pine woodland and on top of a hill for aerial Mediterranean vistas.

While I recommend lots of water and sunscreen, the bathing suit is optional when you make use of those beaches for a cool down.

No photos of our skinny dipping session (sorry!), but here are Andy and I having fun on the beach beforehand.

After the hike we had plans to visit St. Tropez, driving through the shopping area and then ending at the famous Pampelonne Beach, which is actually in nearby Ramatuelle.

We’d heard this beach was somewhat posh, but what we found was a super chill three-mile stretch of white sand.

Even better, we discovered Domaine Bertaud Belieu in nearby Gassin — next to St Tropez — along the way.

Located in the Var Department, we found ourselves immersed in vineyards from many wineries ( domaines ), though this one stuck out in terms of beauty.

The old world architecture gave it a whimsical feel, and when we were given a complimentary 10-tasting degustation we knew we’d made the right choice.

We bought two bottles (15 Euros / ~$17 USD total!) to show our appreciation and savor the local flavors.

What Is Considered Provence? PACA? The South Of France?

So before Andy and I booked our trip to France we wanted to go to “Provence”; however, we couldn’t quite understand what Provence actually was.

We pictured a countryside full of fragrant lavender, mourvèdre grapes and cheese farms, but where was Provence?

We knew it was a region, but was there a specific place one stayed to experience “Provence?”

For a while we thought Aix-en-Provence was Provence, but in actuality, Aix is a small city within Provence.

We were also unclear if cities like Nice and Cannes were considered Provence. During our road trip from Nice to Marseille we realized the route actually fell into the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur Region (PACA) , with destinations like Nice , Cannes and St. Tropez being part of the Côte d’Azur and destinations like Verdon , Aix-en-Provence and Marseille being part of Provence.

They all fall into the larger PACA region, though, and there is some discrepancy.

For instance, when asking a group of locals in Aix-en-Provence whether St. Tropez was in Provence or not, they argued with each other about the answer.

There is clearly some overlap with the sub-regions within PACA.

PACA is one of France’s 22 administrative regions, and encompasses six departments .

Stay in any of these places and simply get lost, discover and enjoy.

There are so many wonderful villages in Provence and beyond to explore and fall in love with.

A Moissac-Bellevue Hotel In The Countryside

Bustling hotspots like Nice, Cannes and St. Tropez were great; though in terms of satiating our craving for countryside  a horse farm in Moissac-Bellevue  — less than two hours from St. Tropez — did the trick.

The epic South of France stay allowed us a night of drinking our Bertaud Belieu wine (Laure, the woman owning the farm, also gave us homemade lemon wine) and stargazing from our cabin. There was no electricity, though Laure provided lanterns.

Andy and I sat for four hours photographing the night sky, telling ghost stories and getting tipsy before falling into a deep slumber, the sound of whinnying horses our night lullaby.

In the morning, we woke up early — the only night of the trip we got up before 10:30am — to an al fresco breakfast of homemade preserves to spread on toast.

Strawberry, fig, prune, mandarin, raspberry and apricot were just a few of the many impressive flavors giving us a sugar rush for the day ahead at nearby Gorges du Verdon (Verdon Gorge).

The geography here is interesting; not only is this place naturally beautiful with its bright green river and dramatic rock formations, but the River Verdon splits the departments of Var (as in the Mediterranean wine region mentioned above) and Alpes de Haute Provence (an Alpine ecosystem and also a wine region).

Verdon Gorge Kayaking

There are many places around Verdon Gorge you can choose to go.

Laure informed us the two sides of the Gorge are both breathtaking and very different.

We decided to make our way toward Moustiers Sainte Marie, which seemed to pop up quite a bit on the Internet; however, plans changed during the ride.

Are you seeing a pattern here? There’s no need to plan in Provence. Adventures pop up at every turn.

Picture this: we’re driving along the winding mountain route D952, switching back and forth between shady forest and open skies.

Suddenly, a flash of bright neon green-blue appears out of the corner of my eye. Lake Verdon.

It peeks through open patches of tree, until the road and my view are completely unobstructed. Wow.

We reach a bridge connecting the two departments that stretches over the river, and we get out to capture the iconic photos we’d seen online.

It’s then we notice the plethora of visitors canoeing, kayaking and paddle boating on the waters; a serene scene that quickly changes our choice from hiking to kayaking.

From this bridge we see numerous rental centers from above, and drive down to rent a kayak for 26 Euros ($29 USD) for two hours.

The paddling trip is scenic, allowing us to take in the gorge from below as cliffside swallows us up, as well as friendly.

We get offered shots of whiskey by a passing boat of Swiss tourists, jump out to swim in the chilly waters and post up on the numerous beaches along the way.

Provence Travel Adventures

What was interesting to me was how many outdoor adventures and national parks there were along the journey,  particularly in Provence .

I expected medieval towns, vineyards and lavender farms; I didn’t expect to be kayaking deep gorges or hiking coastal capes.

It really allowed for an all-encompassing trip.

And these national parks aren’t just in the countryside, but in the cities.

For instance, Marseille not only allowed us to stay in a homey family-run castle  complete with a pool, onsite hiking trails, and expansive terrace views, but to visit an urban national park.

Calanques National Park encompasses 201 square miles, including the rugged terrain of the Massif des Calanques, which Andy and I hiked and scrambled.

Our guide took us along dolomite cliffside and up Marseilleveyre Peak for 360-degree views from 433 meters (1,421 feet).

The breathtaking view showcased the sparkling Mediterranean and Bay of Marseilles as well as the urban landscape.

Cycling In Aix-en-Provence

Possibly our favorite views, ones that truly showcased the beauty and natural prosperity of Provence, came during our time in Aix-en-Provence.

We met our guide Arthur of  Secrets d’ici  in front of Bee’s Cycloplanet for a private electric bike tour.

While electric bikes aren’t yet popular in the United States, in Europe you can rent them to make lovely hilly rides doable (I wouldn’t have been able to complete this route without it!).

The ride took us outside of the city for vistas of mountains, lavender fields, olive groves, historic farm houses and endless rows of grenache and cabernet.

We even got two tastes of Provence; one at Domaine de Saint Ser where we savored a tasting of organic rosés, and one during lunch in the small village of Puyloubier.

We dined in a beautiful courtyard lined with fountains and bundles of wine grapes at the sumptuous  Le Relais de Saint Ser Puyloubier .

Here local wine was paired with homemade dishes crafted from local Provençal ingredients. Imagine roast chicken done in a prawn bisque and topped with mini crepes and peas, followed by a decadent apricot tart smothered in wild fruit coulis and homemade whipped cream.

And I didn’t even feel bad. By the end we’d biked 31 beautiful miles, enough to let me have my cake and eat it, too.

Back at our guesthouse, L’Epicerie, we cozied up in the in-room Jacuzzi and toasted with glasses of bubbly to an epic road trip.

Ending Tip:  When planning a trip to the South of France the hardest thing will be deciding where to stop and where to skip, especially if you’ve never been and have no mental image of the land. Know this: anywhere you stay you’ll be close to myriad different places.

For instance, Nice is only 20 minutes from Eze, 40 minutes from Monaco and 40 minutes from Cannes. Aix en Provence is 25 minutes from Marseille and an hour from Avignon.

Don’t stress about where to go.

If you don’t like where you booked use it as a base for incredible day trips or just drive around and see what you find.

Road Trip Travel In Southern France: FAQ

1) where should i vacation in the south of france.

For a mix of experiences and atmospheres, it’s smart to spend some time on the French Riviera as well as some time in Provence. Begin in Nice and end in Marseille, making stops along the way in places like Cannes and the Verdon Gorge.

2) How many days do I need in Provence?

There is a lot to see and do in Provence, from wine tasting to beach hiking to scenic cycling trips and beyond. A minimum of five days is advised, though if you can do 10-14 days you’ll get to experience a lot more.

3) Can you drive from Paris to Nice?

You can, though it would be a very long drive at about nine hours, or 579 miles. It is recommended to break up the drive with stops along the way, such as in Dijon and Lyon . You can also take a train, with the fastest train getting you to Nice in about five-and-a-half hours.

4) How far is Nice from Marseille by car?

It takes about two hours to drive from Nice to Marseille. The distance is 124 miles. While you can easily do the drive in one day, it is recommended to make stops along the way as there is a lot to do and see.

5) What is the best South of France road trip itinerary?

One great itinerary if you have 10-14 days is Nice, Cannes, Moissac-Bellevue, Hyeres, Aix-en-Provence, and Marseille. Nice and Marseille are about 124 miles apart.

Here is the route in detail:

• Nice (with day trips to Eze for a medieval village, Monaco for a VIP afternoon and Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat for the Villa & Jardins Ephrussi de Rothschild)
• Cannes (with day trips to St. Tropez/Ramatuelle for beaches, Gassin for wine tasting and La Croix Valmer for beaches and hiking)
• Moissac Bellevue (we stayed at a woodland set horse farm then were about 20-minutes from Verdon Gorge )
• Hyeres  (the cobbled commune itself is fun to explore, and is near beautiful beaches and is accessible to the untouched Port Cros Island)
• Aix-en-Provence  (my personal favorite spot of the trip due to the small quiet city full of amenities and accessibility to beautiful Provence farmland; a cheesy rooftop lunch at La Fromagerie Du Passage and a day trip cycling outside the city with Arthur of  Secrets d’ici are musts!)
• Marseille  (don’t miss hiking in the urban Calanques National Park, which doesn’t feel urban at all and is accessible to beautiful port towns and beaches)

South Of France Travel Insurance

While you hope everything runs smoothly, sometimes travel just doesn’t go according to plan.

This is why I recommend always purchasing travel insurance. The scary truth is it only takes one bad accident to lose everything—or be thankful you were covered.

For this, I have two recommendations:

SafetyWing . If you’re looking for something straightforward and budget-friendly, you can’t beat SafetyWing. They offer one global policy that you can cancel at any time or continue paying for long-term coverage (making it the perfect option for digital nomads!).

Their plan includes medical coverage, trip interruptions, personal liability, unplanned overnight stays, lost luggage, and more.

World Nomads . For something more comprehensive, World Nomads is a great option. While you’ll pay a bit more, you’ll typically get higher coverage maximums as well as additional inclusions—like trip cancellation.

Planning A Trip To South Of France Logistics:

What is the best way to get around the South of France?  Well, if you wonder how to get around the south of France, the answer is by car. We rented a car from  Europcar for a little less than $600 total for two weeks, including taxes and fees paid upon arrival and adding a second driver. My credit card, the Bank of America Travel Rewards Card, included car rental insurance. Check your credit card before buying the insurance offered by the rental company.

Additionally, I’d recommend using Discover Car Hire to compare your options.

Do you have any driving tips for the South of France? I recommend exploring the South of France via car as there are just so many little villages, wineries, beautiful parks, and beaches to stop off at along the way from Point A to Point B. The South of France is a land of discovery; you’ll constantly be finding attractions you didn’t know existed. Just drive with caution; the French drive without any care for rules. Don’t be surprised if you see drivers going 80mph around hairpin mountain turns.

However, the Marseille to Nice drive (or vice-versa) offers stunning views!

What are some great books on France?  Au Contraire: Figuring Out the French  and  How the French Think: An Affectionate Portrait of an Intellectual People .

What should I eat in France? It’s helpful to understand French dining etiquette before eating out.

How do I get a SIM card in France?  While you can buy a local SIM card while there, if your phone uses eSIMs, I highly recommend using an Airalo eSIM . It’s budget-friendly and quick and easy to install. In fact, you’ll have a working phone immediately when you land in France!

What are some safety essentials I should pack for France?  While I found France to be relatively safe, I always travel with Clever Travel Companion Pickpocket-Proof Garments and a  She’s Birdie Personal Safety Alarm .

What should I pack for my France trip? Start with this list . From there I would also recommend bringing an extra flashlight  (for any countryside AirBNBs or camping), water shoes (for Verdon Gorge and rocky beaches) and travel towels  (for the beach). 

What language do they speak in France? French, though we found many people spoke some English. Just make sure to understand pleasantries when interacting with locals!

What currency do they use in France? Euro.

What tours should I book in the South of France?

• 3-Hour Small-Group French Cooking Class at a Local Home (Nice)
• French Riviera Sightseeing Cruise (Nice)
• Half-Day Valensole Lavender Tour (Aix-en-Provence)
• Electric Bike Tour to the Calanques (Marseille)
• Street Art Walking Tour (Marseille)
• Vespa Guided Tour (Cannes)

That view looking down on Verdon Gorge is beautiful! So glad you survived the crazy driving and had a great time. I enjoyed my time in Nice and Cannes, so maybe next time I’ll make it to St Tropez!

@Char: Even just all the little villages and wineries around St Tropez are so wonderful!

How was the parking?

@Amy: We didn’t encounter many issues with parking! 🙂

This is a great article, thanks for writing it! I am thinking about a 2-3 week trip in the south of France starting at the end of this month. I’m torn between renting a car and train travel; your article has me leaning towards car rental. 😉 Would you say it was a wash (in expenses) between gas/ tolls/ parking/ car rental vs cost of train tickets to go to the major cities you visited? Thanks!

@Vanessa: I’m not 100% sure because I didn’t fully do the math, but I didn’t feel like it was expensive to rent a car AND we had total control of timing and destinations 🙂

What an amazing road trip! You certainly covered a lot of ground in 2 weeks. One thing that still amazes me about Provence, is the diversity. You never get bored, and often get surprised!

Wow nice roadtripe and nice video! At the beginning of the video you’re walking on a road with a white bridge on the background, do you still remember where that was? Thanks!

@Tomas: It was walking from where we parked over to Eze! 🙂

I see that you have visited almost everything worth seeing on the French Riviera. Nice :). Next time I recommend to see the beautiful medieval village of Saint-Paul de Vence. For me it has more charm than Eze :). Greetings from Nice! Cube.

Hi, love your travel blog, very helpful! I am planning a 5 day road trip from Marseille to Nice, what would you recommend?!

Honestly, you could do the drive quite quickly in a day, so I would just choose which activites on the itinerary sound the best to you. For me, Verdon Gorge was stunning, and I loved the coastal hike near St. Tropez. 🙂

Thanks for sharing all your information and super detailed tips!

amazing road trip!

Very nice road trip thank you for sharing ! We are a family of 3 and we are planning our trip for this summer I cannot wait

Which month did you have a trip?

Where did you park a car during your stay in Nice?

@Nipa: The trip was in August. And Nice has plenty of parking garages! 🙂

This is super helpful! I am planning a mini sabbatical in mid June and wish I had more time to explore south of France. Looking at 8 days 7 nights so trying to figure out where to spend an extra day. If you have any advise let me know!

Who is this itinerary for?

Provence isn't just a fun destination, it's also a haven for couples seeking a romantic getaway. If you and your loved one are on this adventure together, you're in for a special treat. For romantic charm, Saint-Tropez, Nice, and Cannes especially should not be missed.

Provence makes for a terrific family-friendly trip. You'll find a good number of kid-friendly activities on this journey. In the sections below, we'll cover this in more detail so that the entire family has an amazing trip. For example, families love all of the activities in Saint-Tropez.

Getting around between these destinations in Provence isn't too difficult. Most of these places are around 2 hours apart.

We've planned this as a one-way journey from Nice to Avignon because it covers a lot of distance and the transportation options are good in both places. However, you could always loop back to the beginning if it's easier. Also, you can do this route in the opposite direction if you find better tickets into Avignon instead of Nice. To get to Nice, you can see flight prices and schedules here .

Exploring with this itinerary is a blast if you've got a car . If you can't bring your own, just rent one . Having your own set of wheels in Provence is the ticket to total freedom and flexibility. Cruise at your own pace and pull over whenever the mood strikes.

Don't forget to check ticket prices and schedules ahead of your trip.

Generally speaking, buses are a great way to get around in the area. They are very affordable, quick, and easy. If you're traveling on a budget and don't want to drive yourself, check out the price options and consider this as a great alternative to other methods of transport.

Is 10 days enough time in Provence?

Yes, 10 days is generally enough time to see the major destinations of Provence. We have planned out this itinerary in such a way so that you can take in these destinations in 10 days while having a relaxing and enjoyable trip. You could always spend more time in the area if you want to visit more of the local sights, or spend even more time in each destination. Plenty of day trip options are available, after all. On the other hand, if you have less time, you can modify this suggested itinerary to make it shorter. Cutting out a few places would save you time, although we don't recommended it as you really need around 10 days to see everything.

How much does a 10-day trip to Provence cost?

Below is a budget breakdown for this exciting 10-day journey across Provence. Our cost estimates are based on the average daily expenses of real travelers, coupled with data from major companies. Keep in mind, these costs are per person and exclude transportation between destinations. Consider this a helpful guide, because opting for mid-level hotels, regular dining, and covering main attractions will keep you on par with these averages.

The anticipated expenses for this 10-day journey in Provence tallies up to $2,715 per person. Keep in mind that this figure excludes the cost of moving between destinations, as that will depend on the transportation option you use.

Trying to figure out how much you'll pay for hotels on this trip? Below is the expected cost for accommodations for this trip through Provence based on calculated averages.

Hotel Prices

The average price for a hotel room in each destination is outlined below. Calculated from Kayak's hotel data, please note that taxes and fees are not factored into these figures. Consider these prices as a gauge for mid-range hotel experiences. Yet, keep in mind that it's easy to spend more or less, especially if you opt for budget-friendly stays or treat yourself to high-end luxury hotels. During peak travel season, these prices will also be higher.

Hostel Prices

If you're on the lookout for budget-friendly options during your journey, hostels are a terrific option catering to younger or solo travelers. The prices listed below detail the average expenditure for a dorm bed in a hostel at each destination. While privacy may take a backseat in a hostel dorm, the vibrant atmosphere often transforms these shared spaces into social hubs, creating wonderful chances to meet up with fellow travelers. It's important to note that many hostels also offer private rooms at a slightly higher cost than dorms, with additional benefits like kitchens, social activities, and prime locations. These average prices are calculated from available hostel data from HostelWorld.

Provence Itinerary

Nice is a world famous destination along the French Riviera. It's lined with pebbly beaches and iconic shopping areas.

This is one of the most popular destinations in the world for nightlife. It's considered by many to be a fun party-oriented seaside destination, and is a destination that you simply have to visit at least once to experience.

Luxury resorts in the area are especially popular. If you can swing it, stay at one while you're here for relaxation, pampering, and fun.

What to See in Nice

Don't miss the Promenade des Anglais during your trip to Nice, as it's one of this destination's most well-known attractions. You should make sure to set aside enough time to see it.

Day 1 - Starting: Nice & Finishing: Nice

Welcome to France and the French Riviera. Your adventure begins today with a welcome meeting at 4 pm, where you’ll meet the skipper and your shipmates. We'll be collecting insurance details and next of kin information at this meeting, so ensure you bring these details to provide to your skipper. The first port of call is the local supermarket to buy provisions for your trip as a group. If you have any special dietary requirements, please make sure you notify us at the time of booking so we can accommodate your requests. If arriving early into Nice, take some time to explore. Perhaps stroll along the Promenade des Anglais or discover the Cours Saleya Market in Vieux Nice. While away the hours in a delectable cafe or check out the many museums or beaches the city has to offer. If you have a number of days in Nice before you trip begins, you might like to visit the cliff-top village of Eze, known as 'The Eagles Nest'. Just 10 minutes from Nice, this medieval town is full of art galleries, workshops and restaurants. At the top is a ruined castle commanding one of the most beautiful panoramas on the Cote d'Azur. Alternatively you can visit Grasse, the capital of perfume, or the capital of the Principality of Monaco, Monte Carlo. Spend your first night aboard the boat in Nice before setting sail tomorrow morning. Notes: The beauty of sailing is that each day is unique and, while we have a destination to reach, if the weather changes or something takes the group’s fancy, we are flexible on the day's itinerary. The itinerary is subject to change and may vary depending on weather and berth availability. Your skipper will make the final call to ensure your safety at all times.

Day 2-7 - Starting: Cote d’Azur & Finishing: Cote d’Azur

Cannes Set sail for the archipelago of the Iles de Lerins, just off the coast of Cannes. Stop by Sainte Marguerite Island, where the Man in the Iron Mask was once held captive. Visit Saint-Honorat Island, sampling wine at a restaurant run by local monks and produced from their own vineyard. This tiny island has been occupied by monks from as early as the 5th century AD. Sail on to the glamorous city of Cannes. Famous for its international film festival, take a tour of the city’s Palais des Festivals and walk down the red carpet. If glitz and glamour isn’t your thing, explore the mountain range of the Massif de I’Esterel and either hike or cycle through forest to the highest point. St-Tropez Cast off for St-Tropez. Once a modest fishing village, the city is now a holiday paradise for the rich and famous. Head to Pampelonne Beach for some celebrity spotting, where part of ‘And God Created Woman’ was filmed. All of the beaches have toilets, change rooms and sun chairs for hire, or take to the water and try your hand at paddle-boarding. Wander around the old fishing quarter of La Ponche to get a feel of what St-Tropez used to be like, or stretch your legs along the city’s coastal trails. St-Tropez comes alive at night. If you’re thinking of heading to one of the many bars, restaurant or clubs make sure you have the appropriate clothes, as mere shorts and sandals won’t cut it here. Cavalaire-sur-Mer Less known and more modest than its neighbours along the Cote d'Azur, the charming seaside town of Cavalaire-sur-Mer offers 3 kilometres of white sandy beach where you can swim, snorkel or simply relax. Perhaps take a walk along coastal paths to quieter beaches or wander through wooded parklands along the Fenouillet path. In the evening, do as the locals do and feast on a ‘plateau de fruits de mer’ (fresh seafood platter) at a restaurant on the harbour. Iles d’Hyeres Archipelago Due to strict environmental protection laws, the Iles d’Hyeres (or Islands of Gold) boast a unique natural beauty. Head to Ile de Port-Cros. The smallest island in the archipelago has a big history, from the establishment of a monastery in the 5th century to raids by Barbary pirates in the 16th century, the founding of an artists’ colony after WWI and the ‘Battle of Port Cros’ during WWII. Rich in flora and fauna, in 1963 it became France’s first marine national park. There are no automobiles on Port-Cros, so walk along trails through unspoiled pine forests and snorkel in the clear waters surrounding the island. You'll also visit the largest island in the archipelago, Porquerolles, which is also a national park. Automobiles and smoking have also been banned on Porquerolles. The best way to explore the island is to hire a bike and take one of the well-marked trails out through ancient oak forests and fruit orchards. Alternatively, you may prefer to relax on the white sandy beaches to the north of the island.

Day 8 - Starting: Marseille & Finishing: Marseille

After breakfast today disembark the yacht by 10 am and transfer to the Hotel Relax in Marseille. This is where your sailing adventure comes to an end. If you’re flying out today, please don’t book a flight before 4 pm in case we’re delayed due to weather conditions. If you choose to stay on in Marseille, France's oldest city, there’s plenty to see and do. Perhaps hike up to the Basilique Notre Dame de la Garde for spectacular views over the city at sunset. One of Europe's most important ports, Marseille is a dazzling fusion of cultures, with souq-style bazaars appearing alongside Provence produce stalls and local artisan shops. Don't leave without slurping down a bowl of bouillabaisse, the local fish stew.

• CarolineH183 0 contributions 4.0 of 5 bubbles Hit two towns in one trip A great way if you are staying in Marseille to see both Aix en Provence and Cassis to tick off the list. The mini bus holds 8 people and is really comfortable. Journey time to Cassis around 40 mins with 2 hours to explore then onto the gorgeous viewpoint and then 40 mins to Aix and 1.5 hours to explore with optional tour and then another 40 mins home. For us it worked well to be able to see a couple of towns and do the boat trip to see the calanques from Cassis which is a must do. Pepe was super friendly and knowledgeable and made the tour fun. Only improvement would be to have an extra 30 mins in cassis as we didn’t have enough time to do the boat trip to the calanques and have a nice fish lunch otherwise really great Read more Written October 8, 2023
• bdawg2000 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles A great day around Provence with Alex! The tour started off with a hitch. We were told we had to meet in Marseilles so we got up at 6am to take a taxi from Aix-en-Provence only to find out that we would be heading back to Aix-en-Provence to pickup another couple. This was very surprising because we looked for a tour starting in Aix-en-Provence and couldn't find anything. Once we got past the rush hour traffic, we had a phenomenal time with Alex. He gave us a lot of history as he drove and had a good microphone so we could hear him well. He spoke English well thanks to his time in Ohio and Canada. He told some jokes and tried to make the stories relatable. Les Baux was small but pretty. Cute shops and restaurants with nice views of the hillside. We had about 45 minutes which was enough time to walk the town and take pictures. We drove to Arles and Alex had a tough time finding parking with our small van but he found a way to fit somewhere. We saw the coliseum, grabbed lunch at a local spot, saw a church and cloister, and were given lots of information as Alex walked us around. There were plenty of Van Gogh stories for those interested including passing by the famous cafe he painted After a quick trip to the mental hospital where Van Gogh stayed at St Paul du Vence and painted "starry night", we strolled through the town, grabbed a gelato and admired the architecture. We saw the birthplace of Nostradamus and the house of Sade (Sadochism). Alex was nice enough to drop us off in Aix-en-Provence and give everyone restaurant and hiking recommendations. He has travelled the world and seen a lot so it's worth listening to his unique perspective. Would definitely tour with Alex again. He was a great tour guide and driver, who was always looking to please the group. Read more Written September 28, 2023
• LON-ZAF 0 contributions 3.0 of 5 bubbles Great if you just need a driver (not a tour) Our "guide/driver?" was nice but did not provide any information about the region etc. He just drove us from a view point, then Cassis (free time 2.5h) then Aix (free time 1.5h) then back to Marseille. I recommend renting a car instead as it is overpriced just to be driven around. Other than that, the view point (route des crêtes - Cap Canaille) and Cassis are beautiful places, you should definitely visit if you are nearby. Read more Written September 7, 2023

• sanjay s 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles A trip to Remember The day trip was one of the best trip we ever did. Starting our journey from Marseille Vieux Port we enjoyed our journey in the luxury air conditioned van which had enough leg space and sitting area. The journey was smooth and interactive with Sebastian giving us snippets of information about Marseille, Provence and various other attributes of France. The first leg of the trip was to Provence Le Baux. We went to a village shielded by a castle on the mountain top. It was very beautiful. After the trip we went to Pont-du-Gard to see a bridge built by Romans to deliver water from Rhone river to a city. The amazing structure was magnificent and was very impressive. Then we moved to the city of Popes - Avignon. It was a beautiful walled city of Popes and had a nice vive to it. Finally we ended the trip with a visit to Chateauneuf-de-pape. The wine tasting was amazing and left us high and mesmerized. Definitely the trip was a five star trip with Sebastian. His pop quiz and knowledge kept the trip exciting. Only let down was the co-passengers who cribbed and cried for five minutes delay by us to reach to the destination point in time. I thought we have come to enjoy not attending conference or lecture. One couple was such a letdown and a bummer which spoilt the flavour of the trip for us. I pray you dont get such bummers in your trip Read more Written June 24, 2023

• Lisa V 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles A magical day in Provence! Don’t think twice—this tour and guide were AMAZING!! Bucket list day trip! Could not have been better!! A prompt easy pick up in marseille and we were off to Provence. Beautiful weather, and our guide spoke fluent English and French. Our guide Pepe was extremely knowledgeable about the area, history, and bounced easily back and forth in both languages to help all of the group understand 1000s of years of regional history to set the stage for our day. He deeply loves the Provence region and that came through in all he shared. He is steeped in impressionist and post impressionist Art history time period, and this enhanced the trip so much. We were able to see in one day SO much more than we expected—and to walk in the steps of Van High’s most prolific art years at the St Remy Asylum is something I’ll never forget. As my husband said “I always thought his art was pure madness but there is much more realism of the landscape and what he was seeing day to day that is captured in VanGogh’s work”. We also luckily got to see a street and food market with stunning produce, loved the unexpected time at Les Beaux which we had never heard of prior to this trip, and to wander the medieval streets of Arles was just magical. But the linchpin of the day was our guide Pepe—an old soul in his 20s who made the region come to life through his words and perspective. We will always remember him and this amazing tour!

Football : Indonésie - Guinée, un barrage intercontinental pour rejoindre le groupe de la France aux Jeux Olympiques de Paris 2024 | Comment regarder

L'équipe de France de football hommes sera définitivement fixée sur ce qui l'attend lors du tour préliminaire des Jeux Olympiques de Paris 2024 ce jeudi 9 mai.

En effet, à 15h00, au centre national de Clairefontaine dans les Yvelines, l'Indonésie et la Guinée s'affrontent pour obtenir le dernier quota à attribuer en football hommes pour les prochains JO.

Le vainqueur de la rencontre rejoindra l'équipe de France de Thierry Henry, les États-Unis d'Amérique et la Nouvelle-Zélande dans le groupe A.

« Lorsqu’on est un amoureux du sport, c’est une fierté de participer aux Jeux Olympiques. La seule option pour y arriver est la victoire. Notre quatrième place lors de la Coupe d’Afrique des Nations U-23 de la CAF a rallongé le chemin vers Paris, mais on y croit dur comme fer » a déclaré, ambitieux, le sélectionneur de la Guinée, Kaba Diawara au site de la FIFA .

« Si on arrive à se qualifier, je me dis que la Guinée pourrait fouler la pelouse du Parc des Princes, là où j’ai évolué. Cela serait très émouvant pour moi et pour la sélection qui compte de nombreux binationaux d’origine française » ajoute l'ancien attaquant des Girondins de Bordeaux, qui a atteint les quarts de finale de la CAN 2023 à la tête de la Guinée.

La Guinée vise une première participation au tournoi olympique de football depuis Mexico 1968 . L'Indonésie avait atteint les quarts de finale lors des Jeux Olympiques de Melbourne 1956 , son unique participation aux JO.
