The coastal region is very busy in Summer, and travelling to the south of France by car on a summer Saturday can be a nightmare experience; but the region has masses to offer, in terms of climate, history, and landscape. The French Riviera ("la Côte d'Azur") as its mentioned in the map of Southern France is a small part of the south of France, the thin coastal strip from around Cassis (east of Marseille) in the west to the Italian border in the east. Also The southern Alps are different from the northern Alps – drier, more rocky, and less crowded. Briançon, capital of the High Alps department, is the highest small city in Europe.

The south of France is well known for its bling lifestyle, and places such as Antibes, Cannes and St Tropez as you can see in the map of Southern France are sailing hubs for the world mega-yachts and their owners and guests. The parties are legendary, the clubs have a guest list that you would be lucky to crack and the summer is hot, in every sense of the word. Beyond the superficial glamour, however, you will find a firm base of tradition and culture; families that have lived here for centuries, and people who know how to dress and have a firm sense of style and a love of art and good food.

While the Riviera has maintained a glam reputation since the '50s (Brigitte Bardot basking on Saint-Tropez beaches; A-listers strutting down Cannes red carpet), there is more to le Midi than just its jet-set resort towns—including idyllic bohemian islands and hilltop medieval towns housing their own Michelin-starred restaurants as its shown in the map of Southern France. Whether you are looking for a day that starts (and ends) with rosé at a celeb-filled beach club or prefer a more secluded seaside escape.
