Thanks to this, it is famous for its mild climate and abundant food.
It is where Chagall and Matisse spent the rest of their lives, and it has also been the setting for numerous films, including Woody Allen's "Magic in the Moonlight" and Juliette Binoche's "Chocolat."
The coastal region of southern France, known for its more than 300 days of sunshine a year, is also known as the Riviera and is a synonym for a European winter travel destination.
It is said that British aristocrats, including Queen Victoria and Edward VII, visited the place every winter since the mid-18th century.
With the development of railways, it began to become more popular, and to this day, it is considered one of the best vacation destinations in Europe.

A trip to a small town in southern France has become one of the trendiest travel destinations these days, as evidenced by the fact that the southern France episode aired on tvN's entertainment program "Europe Outside the Tent" and attracted a lot of attention.
Especially in southern France, bordering the Mediterranean Sea, you can enjoy a daily life where nature, culture, and art all come together.
The fact that each city is surrounded by the sea is one of its greatest attractions! We guide travelers to enjoy the unique beaches, each tailored to their own tastes.
Just looking at the beach in front of the Promenade des Anglais in Nice, which represents the South of France, will guide you to feel a fragrance that is clearly different from the image of France that you had vaguely known before.
It also introduces beaches that are great for swimming, beaches that are great for spending a fancy night out, and beaches that are famous for their food. This is very impressive as it provides practical and specific information that is rarely found in other travel guidebooks.
If you want to enjoy a more peaceful leisure time, we recommend beaches that are not crowded with tourists, such as Beaulieu-sur-Mer near Nice, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Cap d'Ail, Juan-les-Pins in Antibes, and Cap d'Antibes.
It's a high-quality guide that provides information on hidden restaurants.
Introductions to nearby tourist destinations are a particularly prominent gem in South of France Holidays.

The great artists who visited southern France were captivated by the beautiful scenery there and stayed for a long time, leaving behind exquisite works of art.
Nice, famous for its Chagall and Matisse museums; Antibes, home to the Picasso Museum, considered one of the finest collections; Arles, filled with traces of Van Gogh; and Aix-en-Provence, home to an atelier that is a replica of Cézanne's studio, are all located here and there.
Even travelers who aren't particularly interested in art museums will find their art appreciation much more enjoyable if they read the guide provided in "South of France Holiday" beforehand.
This is a cultural tour that allows you to savor the South of France more deeply.


An all-inclusive guide to Grasse, the city of perfume and purple lavender, the symbol of southern France!

When you think of the South of France, vast purple lavender fields come to mind.
Grasse is the place with the lavender fields you see in the pictures.
Grasse is the city of perfume, also known as the 'Balcony of the Riviera'.
Not only lavender, but also new flowers such as roses and jasmine bloom with each new moon, and the scents of various flowers are sold in perfume bottles.
Grasse's perfume industry, which has been flourishing since the 18th century, is home to three perfume houses and the International Perfume Museum.
From tours that showcase the perfume-making process to programs where you can create your own perfume, we'll guide you through a day filled with scent.
Among them, the perfume-making workshop held by the most famous perfume house, Gallimard, allows you to sit at an organ with 127 scents and choose and mix scents that suit your taste.
Bringing your own perfume in a bottle with your name on it can make the perfect souvenir.
In addition to homemade perfumes, there are many small shops run by perfumers in every alley in Grasse, so choose a perfume that will remind you of the South of France for a long time.

We also provide information on the best restaurants where you can enjoy this dish.
What makes food more delicious and harmonious is the wine from the South of France.

Visiting a restaurant featured in “South of France Holiday” and enjoying a recommended rosé wine with your meal will be the highlight of your trip.
