Our insider tips for the South of France
Popular destinations in the South of France
Cannes, glamour on the Cote d’Azur
Picturesque Cannes has grown from a sleepy little fishing village to one of the world's glitziest playgrounds. The world-famous Cannes Film Festival has undoubtedly sprinkled stardust across the town, which you'll feel as you stroll along the gilded promenades. Meanwhile, pristine sandy beaches invite decadently lazy afternoons by the lapping Mediterranean Sea, admiring the impressive yachts lined up on the town's docks. Pick something special from one of the town's many irresistible boutiques, then celebrate your purchase over a lavishly long lunch of local seafood and crisp white wine.
Saint-Tropez, high-fashion from humble beginnings
Perched on the shores of the impossibly blue Mediterranean Sea, Coco Chanel made Saint-Tropez the place to see and be seen. Prior to this, it was a quiet little port with a history of fending off pirates and other maritime invaders. Quaint cobblestone streets and the fortified citadel keep the history of this town alive, and you'll find an abundance of culture among the gleaming boutiques and clinking glasses of rosé at a waterfront wine bar. Relax on the coast that inspired Matisse and Signac, here the vistas are best enjoyed over a sunset dinner at one of the town's oceanfront restaurants.
Provence, live the sun-kissed French dream
Landscapes that vary from headily scented fields of lavender to the craggy foothills of the Alps, Provence is straight from the pages of a fairytale. Explore tranquil medieval villages around hilltops and drive through olive groves and past secluded chateaus surrounded by grape-laden vineyards. Provence encourages you to immerse yourself in the simple pleasures - long walks through wildflower meadows, sunset swims in quiet coves, and simple feasts augmented by excellent wine from the local grapes.
The French Riviera, a captivating coastline
Lapped by the glittering Mediterranean Sea for a sweeping 160 km, the French Riviera is a treasure trove of glamorous resort towns and traditional fishing villages. Sink your toes into the warm golden sands, where lapping turquoise waters host both elegant yachts and colourful local fishing boats. Live the high life in the palm-lined Riviera hotspots of Cannes and Saint-Tropez or immerse yourself in the museums, galleries, and architecture of Nice, the cultural hub of the Côte d'Azur. Unapologetically sleek and stylish, the French Riveria is the place to live the beach lifestyle in luxury.
“I have never felt more relaxed than in the South of France. There’s a delicious touch of glamour in the air that is wonderfully contagious and encourages you to indulge in all those decadent things that make a holiday so special.”

Your concierge will arrange a VIP transfer or car rental to ensure that, once you land, you'll be unwinding in your luxury villa in no time.
- By train Hop on the Eurostar to Paris or Lille and then snake your way down the country to the South of France using a connecting service. The country's fast and efficient train service is a relaxing way to explore the French Riveria and the hinterland, allowing you to see as much of the country as possible during your stay.
- By car Using the ferry or Le Shuttle to cross the Channel, once in France, you'll encounter captivating landscapes and architecture as you drive South. Cruise along the autoroutes or take a more scenic route, winding your way through miles of vineyards and timeless Medieval hamlets to reach your destination.
LOCAL TIPS
- Brush up on the French driving rules as on-the-spot fines of up to €750 can be given for traffic violations.
- Pay attention to where the locals eat if you want to savour the best flavours and finest renditions of the classics.
- Consider September for your beachside villa rentals. ‘Indian summers’ are common in the South of France, and during this period you'll benefit from quieter beaches and roads.
