The most beautiful seasides in France to spend your holidays

The most beautiful seasides in France to spend your holidays
The seaside is certainly at the top of the French destinations not only to settle there permanently, but also to spend their summer holidays there. This is not a fashion that dates back to today, because humanity has always appreciated the sea coasts to develop. \n\nWithout going back as far as our origins, it is for a good century that paid holidays have allowed seaside holidays for all. In our article, we will take a tour of the most beautiful seasides: from the best known to the lesser known, from north to south, our country is full of ideal maritime areas for all tastes. The Normandy coast \n

In the collective imagination, Normandy is a land swept by the winds, whose precipitations nourish a rich grass that gives the local milk all its flavor. This is partly true, there is no denying it. But the beautiful days are very frequent in summer, with however

\na little breeze that allows you to cool down when there are crushing heat wavesin the rest of the country. In any case, renting a villa by the sea allows you to go sun and beach with the gentleness of Normandy life, just two or three hours from Paris .It is not for nothing that the coasts of the region have been popular since the 19th century, even before the Côte d'Azur was fashionable. We love going to the coast of the Pays d'Auge, where Deauville, Cabourg and Honfleur are located, to admire the century-old luxury villas, with often typical and sometimes exotic, even oriental architecture. \n\nIf you want more peace and quiet outside the very touristy areas, you have to go to the far west of the region on the Atlantic coast, in the Manche department. \n\nFine sandy beaches as far as the eye can see in all discretion , with prices for seaside villas a little more affordable than in the rest of this region.The Côte d'Azur \n

A prestigious destination in France, certainly the most prestigious internationally. Who has never heard of the beaches of Saint-Tropez immortalized by Brigitte Bardot, the annual Cannes festival or the artfully landscaped shores of Monaco? All these Provençal places are located on the French Riviera, which sees as many stars and high society people as Deauville in Normandy.

\nThe advantage of spending your vacation in a villa in Provence is\n\nbe able to take full advantage of an environment that is both very urbanized and dynamic, while being able to go and relax in the hinterland Nice, far from the coastal hustle and bustle. However, you should know that the Côte d'Azur is not very wild, nature rarely having its rights on the shore. But it is a perfect opportunity to admire all the magnificent villas that line the sea. It is even possible to rent some of them for part of the summer season. There is nevertheless a negative point which can put off some people when going to the Côte d'Azur: it is the overload of the region in July or August. For our part, we prefer to go there in June or, even better, in September. \n\nRead also: \n\nÎle d’Oléron: what to do on this unique island? Corsica\r\n

Further south still is the Isle of Beauty. Corsica benefits from

\nsame Mediterranean climate as the Côte d'Azur, but in a much more picturesque dynamic and not very urbanized, with a flow of tourists perhaps less important depending on where you decide to stay for the holidays. Home region of one of the most famous French people, Napoleon Bonaparte, Corsica is bathed in a very special and charming atmosphere, in \n\nseeming far from the metropolitan hustle and bustle . With a strong regional identity, Corsica offers a living environment close to traditions and the Mediterranean art of living. Lovers of renting typical houses by the sea will be delighted, especially as magnificent beaches are found all around the Corsican coastline.A vacation spot particularly suitable for lovers who appreciate privacy outside tourist areas, mountain hikers and those who are fond of water sports. Since you can get to Corsica by boat, it's another original experience for your vacation. \n\n\n
