Provence:
The Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region is quite large and can be broken into 3 sections: the Provence section, the Alps and the Côte d'Azur.
When visiting this region of France, I HIGHLY recommend trying to dedicate enough time to each section because they are so incredibly unique and diverse!
Below you can find all of my personal guides and itineraries for the PROVENCE part of this region. Think small villages, lavender and beaches!!
Also, at the end of this guide, you can find some logistical FAQs about the region (how to get around, how to get to/from the airport etc). Be sure to check it out!

Aix-en-Provence
@czphoneshome
You can’t visit Provence without making a trip to Aix-en-Provence! This was another fun city to explore and wander around!
I found that Aix has a really nice, laid-back atmosphere in the city. No one was in a rush, and everyone seemed to just be out enjoying themselves. It is much bigger than the other villages on this list which is a nice change of pace!

Normandy:
Normandy is one of the western regions of France that is particularly known for its history. Most people who think of Normandy will probably also think of WWII and the D-Day beaches.
But there is so much natural beauty and history that can be found all across Normandy! From the food to the people and the small charming towns, you should definitely consider paying a visit to this underrated region of France.
Here you'll find some of my top tips and recommendations based on my own 2 road trips in Normandy. At the end, you can find some logistical FAQs about visiting the region, so give this guide a save for your future travel planning!

My expertise?
🇫🇷 On top of living in Lille, France for 2 years, my French fiancee has helped me develop a passion for this country beyond a typical tourist. Over the past 8 years, I’ve explored France from north to south: I’ve visited Paris 9 times, road-tripped through Normandy twice, & fell in love with Alsace. I’ve spent time castle-hopping in the Loire Valley, beach-hopping in Corsica, & explored Provence & the French Riviera multiple times. Bordeaux has become a second home, with over 10 visits to the region.
🇬🇧 I lived in London, UK for 2 years, mostly during the pandemic, when I really got to know the city in depth - since we couldn't go anywhere else! Beyond London, I’ve road-tripped through Scotland twice, explored gems like York and Liverpool, road-tripped through Cornwall & enjoyed countless day trips, from charming villages to coastal towns.
