Holiday Rentals gite Provence Alpes Côte d'Azur

In the South East of France bordering Italy and the Mediterranean sea, the Provence-Alpes Cote D'Azur is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country. In the summer the glitzy and glamorous Cote D'Azur coastline really comes alive with many famous towns and cities such as Cannes, Monaco, Nice, St Tropez and Antibes bustling with activity. Starting with the Monaco Grand Prix in May there is so much to do and see. In Nice you can take a beachfront stroll along the promenade des anglais and get a stunning view over the city from the top of castle hill. In Cannes see the Palais des Festivals where the yearly film festival is held and find celebrities hand prints in the gardens outside or take a boat trip to the idyllic Ile St Marguerite and take a tour around the Fort Royal prison. In St Tropez visit the 16th century citadelle on top of the hill or check out the super yachts in the harbour. Of course where ever you go there are excellent warm sandy beaches to relax and get a suntan. All of this fabulous coastline is set against the backdrop of the provence alps. In these mountains less than half an hour from the beach there are plenty of charming old hillop villages and market towns to be discovered. The Verdon Regional Park will cater for outdoor sports lovers with hiking, cycling, canoeing, sailing, rafting and canyoning all available to name just a few. This regional park is home to the Verdon Gorge, the deepest canyon in Europe at over 700m in places, with the impossibly turquoise verdon river running along the bottom and flowing into the lac de sainte croix. It really is worth a visit.
