The Mediteranean coast of France, stretching between Italy and Spain, consists of 3 main regions; Languedoc Roussillon, Provence Alpes / Côte d'Azur and the Riviera
Riviera
In 19th-century European high society, people would often talk of a magical land where winter never came - that land of unending sunshine and azur waters.
A few miles back from the shore is a less publicized side of the Riviera --- a world of romantic hill towns and perched villages balanced on craggy peaks. Worn-down stone stairs and cobbled byways lead through modest hamlets crowding around ancient châteaux.

Provence Alpes / Côte d'Azur
With its feet in the Mediterranean and its head in the Alps, the region has an extensive palette of colorful landscapes.
Provence, the Midi, these are magical names in a luminous landscape that inspired Van Gogh and Cézanne, and changed the course of modern painting. They have also created a new current in contemporary travel.
Languedoc Roussillon
Miles of fine sandy beaches, a hinterland rising up the foothills of the Massif Central and the Pyrénées - Languedoc-Roussillon is a land of sun-filled charm.
The Languedoc-Roussillon region, where the Pyrénées Mountains plunge into the Mediterranean, has come into its own with a sparkling group of new yacht-port resorts.
