France Guide: How Do I Get Around

The South of France has the enviable fusion of miles of shore and fertile rural landscapes and has been the muse for artists, composers and writers as well as the new visitor. 

Where is it? 

The term’South of France’ is usually used to explain the southern stretch of the nation’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 shore, it is one of the most regularly-visited parts of Europe. 

Where am I able to stay? 

Unsurprisingly, for somewhere as hot as the South of France, there is no dearth of hotels, guesthouses, bed and breakfasts and camp sites.  For a real flavour of the area though, stay in one of our counseled boutique hotels.  Little and intimate, they are definitely a home from home and turn a basic holiday into a luxury retreat.  All these hotels offer well-designed and contemporary rooms and the service is discreet and exquisite.  Tasty food customarily goes hand-in-hand 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 large an area to be fully explored in a single vacation, and is the reason why many folk return year after year.  Some of France’s most expensive resorts lie on the south coast, including St.  Tropez and Cannes, and where better to watch the yachts and fashions of the rich and famous?  The area is famous for its coastline, sailing and water sports and for the cities that lie near it : Nice, Marseilles and Montpelier as an example.  Inland, Provence is well-known for its rolling landscapes, areas of vineyards and swathes of wild flowers.  With no scarcity 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’re planning on exploring the South of France, you should hire a vehicle.  The French, like most European nations, drive on the right side of the road and the roads are largely carefully maintained, though 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 often in one place and just visiting major towns or holiday maker areas, then opt for the train system, controlled by SNCF.
