Are you considering doing a road trip on the Côte d'Azur? If you said yes, then look
no further. This blog post will give you a brief yet comprehensive guideline of
what to do to maximize your stay in this beautiful region of France.
First and foremost, you need to rent a car, and there is no
better car rental service then Easy Car
Booking. You will be able to choose between a minivan, if you are traveling
with your family, or even a Mercedes coupe if you are just traveling with a
loved one. The choice is yours.
Secondly, what cities should you visit? There are a bunch of
cities to visit in the South of France but there just isn’t enough time to
visit them all. Below is a list of all the most highly recommended cities that
enjoy visits all year round:
·
Marseille

Cassis (45 miles/ 75 km, 1 hour)
Marseille is city full of French history. Whether you are a
diehard fan of Alexander Dumas’ novel, The Count of Monte Cristo, or you just
want to visit a number of famous sites, then Marseille is an ideal place to
visit. Here
is a list of all Marseille’s main points of interests.
Cassis is a must-see city for those who are fanatics about
wine and beautiful scenery. Cassis is visited year round for their white and
rosé wines, but more so for their breathtaking seaside
cliffs called les Calanque
de Cassis which can be visited by kayak, boat, or on foot.

Cassis à
St. Tropez (70 miles/ 112 km, 1 hour 40 minutes)
St.
Tropez has now become world famous due to the endless celebrity sightings
and lavish lifestyle experienced there during the peak season. However, St.
Tropez still holds its charm as an authentic French fishing village. If you are
a fan of good food, nice beaches, and mega-yachts, then St. Tropez is a must on
your list of cities to visit by car.

Théoule-sur-Mer
(52miles/ 84 km, 1 hour)
Théoule-sur-Mer is one of the
less popular destinations during the summer, but that doesn’t mean it’s a sight
worth seeing. This city is blanketed by the rich, red rock of Esterel, over
looking the glistening deep blue water of the Mediterranean. The drive through
this city resembles a lot to the drive on Pacific Coast Highway in California.
You can also spot Pierre
Cardin’s world famous house!

Cannes (8 miles/ 12km, 20 minutes)
Just a short drive away is the magnificent city of Cannes.

by doing
all of the points of interests.

perfect final destination for your road trip along the Côte d'Azur. Just
make sure to see as much as possible!
