Saint-Tropez
Glitz, glamour, yachts, and designer shops are certainly the first thing you may notice during a weekend in Saint Tropez. But if you peel back that layer, you’ll see something more.
Under the sun-soaked skies of the French Riviera, you’ll quickly find the stone buildings and cobblestone streets of the charming old port. You’ll admire the rows and rows of vines outside the town as you’re in the heart of Rosé country. There are even small remnants of this former quaint fishing village
Camargue
Experience the fantastic feeling of space that a protected area offers. Unspoilt land, dry or wet plains, pine groves, ponds, prairies, sansouires, paddy fields, vines ... every walk is a new discovery.
The vast plain of the Camargue was formed by alluvia left by the various branches of the Rhône, which, over the centuries, have changed bed several times. The damming of the large and small Rhône has made the Camargue into a perfect island bordered to the north by Arles and to the south by the Mediterranean, to the east by the large Rhône and its estuary and to the west by the small Rhône that runs into the sea at Saintes Maries.
French Riviera
Located between Nice and Monaco, the Coeur riviera is a group of 5 characterful villages, including La Turbie, Èze, Saint Jean Cap Ferrat, Beaulieu-sur-Mer and Villefranche-sur-Mer. Each has its own distinctive character, with Italian and
Provencal influences. The Coeur Riviera is also that part of the Côte d'Azur where the term Alpes Maritimes= is understood more than anywhere else. Here, the mountains stand side by side with the blue sea in a unique way, constantly giving the impression of taking a plunge into the Mediterranean, often resulting in breathtaking views...
