This is a region in southeast France bordering Italy and with a coast on the Mediterranean Sea. It’s known for its diverse landscapes with Alps , forests, vineyards and lavender fields. A stunning place to visit if spending time in nature is important to you, walking/hiking or doing outdoor activities such as canoeing or rock climbing.

If wine is your thing, head to Burgundy and tour the vineyards and villages sampling some of the most famous wines in the world. There’s more to Burgundy than just wine though – if you’re interested in history, this is a great place to visit too with renaissance castles and medieval abbeys, villages and market towns that show the history of France. In Burgundy, you’ll also find Morvan National Park with lakes and villages with lots of family-run restaurants with amazing local food.

• Carcassonne

If you’d like to be transported back into medieval times, you need to visit Carcassonne which looks like a medieval fairy tale city placed on top of a hilltop. It has gone through lots of renovation work to still be here today as the finest fortified medieval city in Europe. Enjoy lots of fun gift shops and wonderful restaurants in this unique city!

• Cote d’Azur

Cote d’Azur is the French Riviera on the Mediterranean coast in the Southeast. Enjoy the glamorous beach resorts Saint-Tropez and Cannes for a summery get away with seemingly endless beaches, the turquoise sea and plenty of sunshine. It’s a truly colourful place to be, with lots of pastel coloured houses, the bright sky and water and the bright pink rosé wine too.
