Where to Go

Joie de Vivre

France offers the full spectrum — from the intellectual energy of Paris to the silence of Provence, the Atlantic coast to the sun-bleached Riviera.

Where to Go in France

France

Bordeaux

A post-industrial port city that reinvented itself around wine, architecture, and a serious food scene. The best base for the Gironde and Dordogne.

Provence

Lavender fields in July, autumn markets loaded with truffles and game — Provence delivers on every season, best explored by car from a single village base.
