Description
Find your own journey. Southeastern France can offer very different kinds of holidays. Perhaps you’d rather spend your time along the coast, or perhaps villages and mountains appeal to you more. Lonely Planet Provence & the Côte d’Azur helps you explore the full range and build a trip that gives plenty of room to the parts that appeal to you most.
Experiences to look forward to. Villages in the Alps, lesser-known ski resorts, and beaches along the coast are among the options highlighted in the book. The guide combines maps, itineraries, and practical advice to support your planning. It gives you a basis for comparing trips at different times of year and choosing which surroundings and experiences should define your holiday.
Who is this guide suitable for? This is a regional guide for those who want to focus on Provence and the Côte d’Azur. Choose it when this part of France is your main destination, and use it to plan fewer, better-suited stops rather than a route that tries to cover everything.
From inspiration to your own plan. Use the guide before departure to pick out a few experiences you really want, and consider them in the context of the rest of the trip. A route with fewer stops can give you more time to get to know each place. Look through it together with your travel companions, compare ideas, and find a balance between what you want to fit in and what you’ll have time to enjoy. Leave some days less fixed, so the plan also has room for what you discover along the way.
A physical travel guide is good to come back to when discussing the next leg of the trip. Find an idea you’ve noted, use the map as the basis for the conversation, and let the plans develop as you get to know the destination. The book can follow the trip from the first ideas at home to the choices made along the way, and become a keepsake to browse through once you’re back.
