Wine: The annual Ban des Vendanges des Côtes du Rhône takes place in Avignon on August 28th. The festivities involve plenty of grape-filled fun, including a market, a parade, and a dance in the evening. All those gathered, and most certainly, the winemakers await the proclamation by the Grand Maître de la Commanderie des Côtes du Rhône that they can officially start the grape harvest.
Water: France’s azure coastline stretches from the Spanish border to Italy. The Mediterranean shoreline, known as the littoral, offers stunning scenery and beaches. La Route des Crêtes between Cassis and La Ciotat skirts some of the highest cliffs in France, delivering endless views to anyone brave enough to drive the route. The Côte Bleue to the west of Marseille is a coast dotted with sheer cliffs, secluded coves and gentle sandy beaches.
