We went to Spotorno, in the province of Savona, because we had read that it was a charming coastal town with beautiful beaches and historic buildings. And it certainly didn’t disappoint. We loved the town centre, full of narrow streets with the cutest shops, bars, and restaurants. Truly, a beach town brimming with character. Where to stay We stayed at […]
San Lorenzo al Mare was our first stop in Italy. We decided to go there because we saw that it was a charming coastal town located on the Riviera dei Fiori in Liguria. We loved its old town with its narrow alleyways, covered passageways, and colourful houses overlooking the sea. Highlights included the Church of Santa Maria Maddalena, an 18th-century […]
The only thing we knew about Saint-Tropez was its reputation for glamour and luxury on the French Riviera, so we had to see it. We were expecting a town overflowing with luxury, but instead we found a very ordinary little fishing village. There was a port with a few luxury yachts and designer shops, but otherwise, it was quite rustic. […]
We had heard a lot about Pampelonne Beach, but we didn’t know why it was so famous. It turns out it became famous thanks to Brigitte Bardot, who filmed the movie “And God Created Woman” there, transforming this pristine spot into a glamorous and fashionable haven for celebrities. The famous Pampelonne, with its 4.5 kilometres of fine sand, is located […]
We went to Gémenos because it was only 20 kilometres from Marseille and we’d seen that you could catch a bus from the campsite, but nothing went as planned. We didn’t know that Gemenos was nestled at the foot of a mountain, surrounded by streams and offering beautiful views. It’s a small but very pretty village, thanks to its mountain […]
Béziers is a city near Narbonne, and we liked it much more than Narbonne itself. It’s one of the oldest cities in France, very lively, with a beautiful park surrounded by statues of poets and sculptors, as well as a 13th-century cathedral with incredible views and nine locks on the Canal du Midi. We loved it! Where to stay We […]
Narbonne is bisected by the Canal de la Robine, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is famous for its historical heritage. What we enjoyed most was its lively canalside market and the picturesque Passage de l’Ancre, located next to the Cathedral and the Palace. Where to stay We stayed at Camping Les Floralys (43.166087, 3.036483 latitude, longitude) next to the […]
Leucate is a fishing village located on a peninsula between the Mediterranean Sea and the Leucate Lagoon. The lagoon is beautiful, with houses and boats lining its shores. Leucate’s harbour is quite lively with bars, restaurants, and shops. But the highlight for us was the oyster farms, situated in a small harbour with seafood restaurants overlooking the sea and the […]
