In the northwest of Tuscany, by the Tyrrhenian Sea, the province of Lucca impresses by the beauty and diversity of its landscapes. Between coasts, green hills, lakes and natural parks, your escapades will be numerous and enchanting.

From Forte dei Marmi to Torre del Lago Puccini, the coastline of the province of Lucca stretches through lush vegetation. Ideal for relaxing, swimming, water sports and cycling under the pine forests, the seaside offers a varied atmosphere. Discover for example Camaiore, the Romanesque with its beautiful Benedictine abbey Saint-Pierre and its splendid beach, Lido de Camaiore. But also enjoy Pietrasanta for its cathedral, its archaeological museum and the beautiful shores of Marina di Pietrasanta. In Torre del Lago Puccini, visit the villa of the illustrious composer to whom the name of the city pays homage and in which he composed his greatest works : La Bohème, Tosca, Madame Butterfly...

After this coastal discovery, take the time to explore the backcountry of the province. Lucca (Italian for Lucca), the capital, is a must see and has countless surprises in store for you. Behind its impressive wall, you will appreciate the medieval historical centre, perfectly preserved. You can admire the Cathedral of St. Martin, the Basilica San Frediano, the streets Fillungo, Guinigi and Napoleone and dell'Anfiteatro squares lined with palaces and ancient mansions. Also take a tour of the old town from the top of the ramparts, specially designed to offer an unforgettable walk. But many other towns and villages invite you to a pleasant stay like Altopascio, Borgo a Mozzano, Barga or Castelnuovo di Garfagnana.

Then take advantage of the exceptional environment of this small corner of Tuscany to practice many outdoor activities. In the nature reserves of the Apuan Alps, enjoy walking, cycling or horse riding on the many marked trails. On the way, discover the immense Grotte du Vent, whose longest itinerary extends over two kilometres. But also enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Orecchiella Natural Park, near Camporgiano, and take a boat trip on the famous Massaciuccoli Lake, near Massarosa. After a full day, sit on the terrace of a good restaurant to taste the specialties of the province of Lucca : garmucia, pork with chestnut polenta, lamb with olives, buccelatto, necci..
