Toulouse, Gers & Vallée du Tarn

Gastronomy and good living are the passions underpinning this sun-kissed corner of southwestern France.

Gironde

At the lower edge of the Atlantic Coast, the Gironde département extends to the Dordogne in the east and the Basque Country in the south. The gateway to its wealth of attractions, set amid glorious vine-ribboned countryside, is the capital city of Bordeaux.

Touraine

Often dubbed the ‘Garden of France’, the Touraine region is known for its rich food, tasty cheeses and famously pure French accent, as well as a first-rate line-up of glorious châteaux: some medieval (Langeais and Loches), others Renaissance (Azay-le-Rideau, Villandry and Chenonceau). The vibrant capital, Tours, offers plenty of good restaurants, château tours and public-transport options.

Dauphiné

Named for the dolphin (dauphin) that graced the coat of arms of its prior rulers, the historic region of Dauphiné encompasses the territories south and southwest of Savoie, stretching from the Rhône River in the west to the Italian border in the east. It roughly corresponds to the départements of Isère, Drôme and Hautes-Alpes.

Camargue i södra Frankrike – vilda vidder och rosa flamingon

Vita hästar, svarta tjurar och den rosa flamingon är Camargues främsta symboler. Dessa vidder i södra Frankrike är till stora delar obefolkade och för många ett okänt område, som man bäst upplever till häst!

Turistbussar förbjuds i centrala Paris

Nu är turistbussar inte längre välkomna i Paris. Stadens vice borgmästare Emmanuel Grégoire anser att turister behöver transportera sig mer miljövänligt, genom att exempelvis åka kollektivt.

Vaucluse

Named after France's most powerful natural spring, which wells up outside Fontaine-de-Vaucluse, the Vaucluse département sits on Provence's west side, sandwiched between the rumpled mountains of the Hautes-Alpes and the rocky Var coastline. Crossed by three great rivers – the Rhône, the Durance and the Sorgue – Vaucluse is renowned for its lavender fields and its vineyards, including the legendary Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The area has been occupied since ancient times, but it was the Romans who left the greatest mark in the form of Orange's ancient theatre and the remains of two Roman towns, Glanum and Vasio Vocontiorum. Centuries later, Avignon became the seat of papal power, and its crenellated ramparts and monumental Palais des Papes provide a glimpse of medieval majesty.
