The best ways to fill your days with adventure and fun 🤩
A hike here is a must! There are varied different routes to take depending on your hiking ability so pick whatever suits you best. I recommend the app “Alltrails” to find routes.
Parc National Des Calanques
You can get a quick, cheap ferry from Cannes. Its a gorgeous island you can walk all the way around the edge, or you can pick a smaller route. But i would definitely recommend going, the views are beautiful!
Île Sainte-Marguerite
This landmark in Montpellier is absolutely stunning! I sat on a bench and read my book for a while. It was so peaceful and the scenery was breathtaking.
Promenade du Peyrou
A must see in Toulouse. Gorgeous architecture inside and out with beautiful stained glass windows.
Convent of the Jacobins
Another spot where i sat and read for a while. It is absolutely gorgeous and definitely worth the visit!
Palais Longchamp
A beautiful Cathedral right by the sea in Marseille. A great spot to watch the sunset!
