    5 South French spots for spectacular photos!

    Of course, it's hard to choose, there are so many beautiful places on the Côte d’Azur and in Provence … From colorful calanques and gorges to picturesque coastal towns. But here is a list of the (in our opinion) most photogenic destinations. To get you in a summery mood. So you can start planning your long-awaited vacation. A beautiful prospect!

    1. Gorges du Verdon

    Ranked number 1 in Southern France: the azure blue water of the Gorges du Verdon. This is a deep gorge through which a beautiful blue river flows. A stunning vacation photo guaranteed, and a fun day full of activities is possible. There is plenty to do, such as hiking, swimming, cycling or canoeing!

    2. Calanques

    Between Marseille and Cassis lies the Calanques National Park with an area of 20 kilometers of rugged rocks. Among them, we see azure blue bays and French beaches. The beautiful view of these rock formations is perfect for a stunning picture.

    3. The harbor of St-Tropez

    Arriving by the green ferry in the harbor of St. Tropez is already a delight for the eyes. Beautiful luxury yachts with the world-famous quay with top restaurants and terraces in the background. Looking a bit further over the houses, you can see the Citadelle, which is characteristic of Saint Tropez.

    4. Vieux-Nice

    The old center of the beautiful city of Nice is a perfect place for a beautiful vacation photo. You encounter the real South French feeling here by walking through the small streets and along cozy French terraces. There is a lively atmosphere everywhere, and the small boutiques and markets make this part of Nice very picturesque.

    5. Cassis

    Around Marseille lies the beautiful fishing village of Cassis. What makes this village so photogenic is the harbor with cozy restaurants and beautiful French houses. A very picturesque place with a Mediterranean atmosphere that is definitely worth a visit! If you are there anyway, also take a walk through the beautiful Calanques National Park.

    And now just book your vacation in a luxury villa from VillaSud, so you can already look forward to your vacation this summer!
