The South of France has the enviable fusion of miles of shore and fruitful agricultural landscapes and has been the foundation 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 coastline that runs between Spain and Italy, and the agricultural 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.

What am I able to see?
The South of France is too large an area to be fully explored in a single holiday, which is the reason why many people return year after year. Some of France’s most costly resorts lie on the south coast, including St. Tropez and Cannes, and where better to watch the yachts and fashions of the wealthy and famous? The area is feted for its coastline, sailing and water sports and for the cities 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 historic buildings, local marketplaces and museums to explore, the South of France has something for everyone.
How do I get around?
if you’re planning on exploring the South of France, you need to hire a vehicle. The French, like most European countries, drive on the right side of the road and the roads are essentially well-maintained, though many are toll-controlled and you’ll have to pay at marked toll stations to use the main road network. If you’re planning on staying often in one place and just visiting major cities or traveller areas, then opt for the train system, controlled by SNCF.
