You may spot a few real jewels, too, in boutique hotspots such as Cannes, Nice and Monaco. Nature lovers will find their idyll in the enchanting pine forests in Calanques or in Camargue, which wild horses and flamingos call home. Use your villas in France to explore Languedoc Roussillon’s wonderful lakes and sandy beaches, whilst the gastronomes amongst you can tuck into local oysters. With such a range of activities from the cosmopolitan harbours and beach resorts to rural countryside, the French Riviera is great choice of self-catering holiday destination.

Thanks to the Mediterranean climate on the French Riviera, summers are dry, hot and full of sunshine, making the Cote d’Azur ideal for a beach holiday with your family. Cool down in the crystalline waters and top up the tan on kilometres of soft, white sand. Preceded by pleasant temperatures in spring and followed by similar climes in autumn, summer is not the only season for an incredible French self-catering holiday on the French Riviera. Slightly cooler weather has massive appeal for those who enjoy active holidays exploring the coast on hiking and cycling holidays.
