June is the warm-up act to high season in Provence and along the French Riviera. But, once the calendar flips to July, it's holiday time in France and the rest of Europe, which requires a bit more patience on the roads and absolutely no excuse necessary to laze the day away beside a pool. So, it's rosé all day for those who want and for others a chance to see the magnificent lavender fields in full bloom.
Bastille Day falls on July 14th, and La Fête Nationale is a grand affair with festivities around the country. However, this day also marks the official start of the grandes vacances in France, so travel at this time of year requires advanced planning and a little luck.
While our holiday accommodation partners are typically fully booked by this time, they occasionally have cancellations. Alternatively, whether you want to stay on the coast, experience the countryside or enjoy some wine country vineyards, consider booking a place to stay this fall. We feature a few accommodation types below, but please review the complete list here.
With hundreds of concerts and the 5th edition of Marseille Provence Gastronomie, the festival season is well underway in the South of France. Sadly, there are no Tour de France stages in the region in 2023.
