South of France holidays
Often hailed the Cote d’Azur or the French Riviera, the South of France has a swish and suave feel to it. There’s more than 100km of coastline for you to enjoy come midday or sundown, and plenty of glitzy buildings to roam around. What more could you want? Well, when only sightseeing will do, itineraries write themselves around these parts. Revel in visiting historic residences, hitting the glam boutiques and dining in stylish international restaurants. Why not head to the casino for a night on the tiles with a difference? France is at its most fabulous here...Popular South of France Holiday Resorts

A real looker
Palm-lined promenades, epic villas and pretty palaces – the South of France has rightly been the subject of art. Picasso, Monet and others have all been inspired! Surrounded by the glistening blue sea and topped off with lush green hillsides, it’s quite the sight. Plus, Menton adds to the colour with its blooming lemon groves!
Bright lights, bigger shores
Whether you’re a savvy shopper, eagle-eyed yacht-spotter or an avid dice roller, there’s something with your name on it here. Sports stars and celebs rock up for film festivals and fashion events throughout the calendar. It’s like turning the pages of a glossy travel mag and jumping right in!
From 0-60mph
Let the sound of revving V8s be the extravagant soundtrack to your coastal retreat. With so many unapologetically fancy avenues around the region, it’s no surprise that the F1 elite and supercar drivers park up there. Lamborghinis, Bugattis, classic Ferraris, modified Porsches? They're all waiting.
South of France resorts
Antibes
Ahh, Antibes. This fabulously French seaside town boasts culture and charm by the bucketload. Speaking of buckets, it’s time to grab yours and a spade and check out the beaches here – after all, they’re some of France’s most beautiful sandy stretches! Away from the shore, there are plenty of trinkets and treasures to hunt down in the Old Town. Plus, it's a great base to explore the rest of the French Riviera.
Cannes
There’s something for every holidaymaker here, despite its 24/7 glam reputation. Rich in elegant boutiques, seafood eateries and exquisite old architecture, Cannes is a suntrap spot full of choice. You don’t have to do things the well-heeled way all the time, as you can head off and explore around the region when you please, with ease. And don’t even get us started on the French fare...
Menton
Lemon-scented adventures start here. You’ll feel like you’ve landed on the Neapolitan Riviera rather than the French when you rock up to Menton. With pastel-hued mansions and swaying palms embellishing the waterfront, this swoon-worthy seaside town is as beautiful as they come.
Saint Raphael
Oo la la, this stunning seaside town is the epitome of French Riviera chic! Canopy-covered cafés, dancing palms and a sail-speckled marina – it doesn’t get more swish than Saint Raphael.
Theoule Sur Mer
Tranquil Theoule Sur Mer flaunts the dreamiest elements of southern France, from its copper-coloured cliffs to its sun-drenched sands.
Villefranche sur Mer
Say Bonjour to one of France’s most charming harbour towns. With its pastel-coloured houses cascading down the hill and the restaurant-lined seafront, Villefranche sur Mer is the ideal base on the Côte d'Azur. Nestled between Nice and Monaco, you’re also perfectly placed to see more of this glamorous stretch of Mediterranean coast.
Beaches
Anyone who’s anyone hits the beach on the cool blue South of France. Life revolves around the shore, thanks to its mix of long sandy strips, small pebble bays and arcs of golden sand backed by restaurant-filled proms. And of course, you'll find your fair share of ultra-chic beach clubs!

Activities
Ever-sunny skies and a crisp sea breeze make this a great place to get active. Out on the water, sailing is the fancy way to cruise the coast, but speed boats and jet-skis turn things up a notch. Biking, hiking and promenade strolling unlock excellent views from dry land.
