France’s Mediterranean coast is one of Europe’s most evocative destinations. It’s where you’ll find the French Riviera, stunning Mediterranean beaches and all the luxury and glamor of Cannes and Saint-Tropez. One of the most prestigious areas to vacation in Europe, it comes with a price tag to match.

But there’s another South of France where you can find much of what makes the French Riviera special, at a fraction of the price.

It’s the France people dream of… fairy-tale castles towering on rocky hillsides, medieval villages, and market squares alive with color and life. Farmhouse tables laden with bread, cheese, and fruits. In shaded town squares, locals sip ruby wines made from grapes grown in sight of the village.

You’ll find stretches of beach here too, where crashing waves and the call of the gulls are your music… We’ve included every luxurious detail in our special report. Enter your email below to access.
