Mediterranean sunsets, fishing villages, cliff-embedded towns, and a beautiful coastline that you can’t take your eyes off-- are all reasons to book your next flight to Southeast France!


Here are some of the region’s most unique and must go to places to visit:


1. Cannes

This elegant resort city may look modernized but has massive historical value. This city made hundreds of years of history within its walls. Aside from strolling along the coast of the mile-long La Croisette, dine at one of the many fabulous French restaurants and hike the Massif de l’Esterel, a coastal Mediterranean mountain range.


2. Cotignac

Nestled between cliffs and two 12th-century towers, Cotignac is full of stunning Provencal villages and vineyards. Not much further than the commune, you will find the famous Gorge du Verdon.


3. Menton

Near the border of Italy, the half-moon bay on the French Riviera is one of Menton’s most enjoyable sites. It is also one of the warmest resorts in the winter. You may notice the citrus trees and giant sculptures as you wander through town. However, if you are in town for it, don’t miss out on the annual Lemon Festival (Fête du citron).


4. Nice

The first thing you must do in this seaport city is head to the Cours Saleya flower market to smell and view all the gorgeous flowers. Once you’ve had your fill of freshly picked flowers, make your way to view the Roman ruins on Colline du Château. Before you leave Nice, head to the Promenade for some shopping.


5. Villefranche-sur-Mer

This charming 14th-century Niçoise fishing village on the French Riviera is known for its deep harbor, old town charm, and excellent seaport overlooking the gentle Mediterranean waters. Walk down the cobblestone roads until you reach Citadel St. Elmo and Port de la Darse.


So does all of this talk about the beautiful coastal lands of Southeast France make you want to go and see it all for yourself? Let me help you plan so you can get the most out of your trip!
