La Rochelle

A charming Atlantic port city with white limestone facades, bustling harbours, and a rich maritime past. Stroll the Old Port, climb the medieval towers, and enjoy fresh seafood at waterside bistros. It's relaxed, breezy, and a lovely coastal send-off before heading inland.

 

Bordeaux

France’s wine capital offers grand boulevards, neoclassical architecture, and a vibrant riverfront. Explore the Cité du Vin, taste wines in the surrounding vineyards, or relax in the Place de la Bourse by the mirror pool. Elegant yet modern, Bordeaux is a sensory feast.

 

Carcassonne

Step into a medieval fairytale in Carcassonne’s hilltop citadel, complete with drawbridges, towers, and cobbled streets. Walk the fortified walls, dine inside the ramparts, and soak in the timeless atmosphere. It's one of France’s most stunning and well-preserved medieval towns — truly magical.

 

Montpellier

Youthful, sunny, and full of southern flair, Montpellier blends history with energy. Visit the elegant Place de la Comédie, wander the Écusson Old Town, or take a tram to the beach. A dynamic stop with Mediterranean vibes and a laid-back artsy heart.

 

Aix-en-Provence

Known for its fountains, markets, and Cezanne heritage, Aix is a Provençal dream. Wander tree-lined boulevards, explore art galleries, and sample local rosé and lavender honey. It’s stylish but slow-paced — a perfect final stop before the coastal glamour of Nice.

 

Nice

Finish in Nice, where the French Riviera’s elegance meets seaside ease. Stroll the Promenade des Anglais, explore the Old Town, or take a dip in the azure Mediterranean. A sun-drenched, colourful end to a journey through France’s most beloved regions.
