There is a charming area in France where it seemed to bring together the best in life. The gentle blue sea, the long emerald plains, the bluish mountains rising on the horizon in the hot midday haze, the measured life of the province and the constant radiantness of the locals - in smiles, in hearts, in a careful, very home-like attitude towards the guests. The amazing beauty and splendor of such a life can be felt fully in the south of France.
The south of France is not so much a formal administrative and geographical concept as, so to speak, "sincere" . For example, such historically different areas As Languedoc-Roussillon and Provence-Alps-Cote d'Azur tightly ties together the Mediterranean Sea: everywhere there are wonderful beaches and excellent infrastructure "bundled" .And the Cote d'Azur, along the beauty of the coast and its surrounding nature, is not inferior to the resorts in the vicinity of Montpellier . The South South of the Pyrenees can also be referred to the French south (in its name there is already a geographical "binding") . Magnificent sea landscapes are generously diluted here picturesque chains of the Pyrenees - nature is more ascetic, but no less attractive .

Regions, cities and resorts of the South of France
Start acquaintance with the south of France, perhaps, stands with its most "untwisted" direction - the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, bearing the romantic-calling name "Cote d'Azur". Well, then move west, to Languedoc-Roussillon, a little later, following the seascapes to the mountains in the South Pyrenees.
Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur
A mind-blowing Côte d'Azur, with the same persistence sought by those who looking for a quality rest in the atmosphere "everything for the client" (for his money, of course), and those who prefer the "beach" in the best nightclubs of the Mediterranean to all the seaside are the "honey" region of the south of France.
Singing a solid share writers, poets and artists - in exile and just on vacation - Nice - always seductive capital of the Côte d'Azur and the number one place for beach-cultural and historical recreation
Cannes -. Not less grandiose resort, noted, inter alia, a world-famous festival. True, the beaches here are entirely bulk, but what does it matter if you can settle exactly where the young Brigitte Bardot once shone.
A cozy cozy Antibes is an old town with a lot of sights "in the asset". The beaches here are equally pebbly and sandy, expensive celebrity mansions are replaced by modest fishermen's dwellings, and the most magnificent and large yachts of the Mediterranean Sea moor at the local port.
Saint-Tropez, Menton, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Juan-les -Pen ... - on the Cote d'Azur you can not find pretty resorts, resting on which one does not even believe that life can appear somehow differently than in the pink light!
Languedoc-Roussillon
Restrainedly exotic, original and very colorful region of France Languedoc-Roussillon adopts the baton of the resorts of the Cote d'Azur . The resort life here is just beginning to develop, which is an indisputable advantage: the original French traditions here are carefully preserved and not placed on the altar of mass tourism . Therefore, it is a direct road to those who are interested Xia authentic life of provincial seaside France . But even if you do not belong among the fans of "etnokomponenta" resorts of the Languedoc - Roussillon will enchant you with its secluded pristine beaches and an impressive number of historical monuments .
The capital of Languedoc-Roussillon, Montpellier, will appeal to those who do not mind taking a rest from just a little bit. The attentive tourist will find here also good beach resources, and ample opportunities for shopping and the chamber atmosphere of the French outback with its restaurants of home cooking, wineries and farms. For the "excursion" in the city is the Cathedral of St. Peter and the colorful old quarters.
Carcassonne is an amazing mixture of France and Spain, which is practically within easy reach. Its main "chip" is a powerful excursion program: the local fortress and forts will impress even distant tourists from the historical science. Well, a pinch of Spanish spices in this spicy mixture is an authentic bullfight (and this despite the fact that Spain everywhere and radically forbids it!)
Well, so that you do not think that the Languedoc is entirely Puritan customs and no progress of thought , we advise you to look into Cap d'Agde. One part of the resort is quite decent, but the other is entirely given to the fans of naturism (read: nudism). This is a whole city with its own infrastructure, in which you can take off your clothes on the day of arrival and put it on again only at check-out. And you say patriarchy!
South Pyrenees
Southern mountains - this way one could characterize the landscape and spirit of one more area south of France, called the South Pyrenees . This place, where reigns quite austere, ascetic, but such an inspiring in its rebellious nature of the foothill areas, and behind all this magnificence are guessed not so far off the coast of the Mediterranean Sea . For tourists this blessed, almost none a well-known region - as you know, alpine skiing rushes to the Alps, and "beach" - to the Cote d'Azur, but to the attentive tourist the South Pyrenees will open amazing natural attractions and, it seems, not the French life of its original settlements, where each house is a small fortress .
@ Toulouse - the colorful capital of the South - Pyrenees . This rough region could not have a more tender crown - Toulouse is built of a pale pink stone and with the change of lighting appears more and more new shades . "Excursion" in city at least where: mainly religious sites, the pearl of which is the Benedictine abbey of the 11th century . Well, the quay of the Garonne River is responsible for the relaxed idle part of the rest: there are a lot of cafes and restaurants here, as well as shops with the author's work - from cheeses to woolen ones products .
Perpignan - the place where the Pyrenees meet the Mediterranean Sea - boasts some of the most amazing landscapes of France. The azure sea surface approaches here almost directly to the gentle slopes of the Pyrenean ridge, and the horizon is lost behind the melting peaks in the distance. However, there are even more human legacies - ancient mansions, a royal palace and the most beautiful castle - these are only the most important sights.
Well, the South - Pyrenees is famous for its vineyards. Dry red wines from Cahors and the environs are a visiting enological map of the region and worthy rivals of their "brethren" from Bordeaux and Champagne.
