The name of the Provence-Alpes-Côte-d'Azur region alone is an invitation to travel. Indeed, it is difficult not to imagine the beautiful beaches and small creeks of the Côte d'Azur, the hills and charming villages of Provence and, finally, the pure air and wild mountains of the Alpes de Haute-Provence and the Hautes-Alpes.

From Menton to Hyères, between the sea and the mountains, the French Riviera invites you to the mythical beaches of Saint-Tropez, Cannes, Nice... to practice numerous water sports (sailing, surfing, kayaking, paddle, diving...) or to relax under the Mediterranean sun. In this enchanting setting, you can also take the sea to the famous golden islands (Le Levant, Port-Cros, Porquerolles) and discover real little corners of paradise. After having filled up with iodine, take advantage of the beauty of the hinterland to go for long hikes, on foot or by mountain bike, and discover the beautiful villages of Provence. In the Alps, take to the skies in a microlight or paraglider, practice canyoning and white water rafting, and, in winter, let yourself slide down the slopes of the great ski areas (Pra-Loup, Serre-Chevalier...).

Then go and discover the extraordinary heritage of the region. In Marseille, stroll along the banks of the Old Port, climb up to the Notre-Dame de La Garde basilica and visit the MuCEM, a magnificent museum dedicated to the civilizations of the Mediterranean. In Avignon, enjoy the Palace of the Popes, the Saint-Benezet bridge, classified as a Unesco World Heritage site, and the medieval streets of the historic center. Then go to Arles, the capital of the Camargue, which has an exceptional Roman heritage, to Carpentras for its Saint-Siffrein cathedral and its episcopal palace, to Aix-en-Provence to see the Cézanne workshop and the Granet museum, to Fréjus for its arenas, its aqueduct and its archaeological museum...

Lovers of wide open spaces will be enchanted by the diversity and beauty of the natural parks located in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur: the Camargue, the Calanques, the Maures massif, the Esterel massif, the Verdon and its sumptuous gorges with emerald waters, the Luberon and its Provencal Colorado, the Mercantour, the Queyras, the Écrins... On the way, don't hesitate to stop in pleasant restaurants to taste the sunny flavors of the regional gastronomy: tapenade, pistou soup, bouillabaisse, fougasse, ratatouille, ravioles, Provencal or comtadine stew, nougat, tropézienne pie...
