If you are planning a vacation in France, you might be considering taking a day to head to Paris to take in some of her most famous attractions. Of course, the likes of the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Notre Dame, and more are immediately familiar names that should be sought out should you wish but there are also other incredible and well-known gems that are slightly less obvious but unmissable wonders.

Among these, we would recommend the Rodin Museum, the Petit Palais, and the Musée de l’Orangerie. While each has something special to offer, the Musée de l’Orangerie is where you’ll find Monet’s stunning Water Lilies as well as moderately-sized but excellent collection of works by other Impressionists and Post-Impressionists such as Cézanne, Matisse, and Renoir.

The Provence region of France is home to some stunning palaces and villas and we even have a selection listed among our properties that can be rented. Those who want to sample an idyllic taste of the Provençal lifestyle can temporarily experience living in one of these stunning villas themselves by browsing our villas in Provence and booking a gem such as La Verdière.

Located 4km (3 miles) from Draguignan and not far from the town of Fréjus positioned on the famous Côte d'Azur, La Verdière is a stunning property with an incredible private pool, leafy grounds, dreamy interiors, and much more besides. Sleeping up to 11 guests comfortably in five bedrooms with five bathrooms, the villa boasts air-conditioning and WiFi throughout for your convenience and comfort, as well as a range of other services and amenities.

Located on the north-west coast of France, in the region of Brittany, the charming walled city of Saint-Malo is historic, lovely, and steeped in culture. Now greatly expanded, the city is made up of the preserved and delightful walled old town and the more sprawling new town that expands beyond the port. A place of gorgeous beaches, quaint stone buildings, and wonderful architectural gems and the recognised as the most-visited place in the region, it is the ideal destination for your next vacation in Brittany.

This week, we’re dreaming of a vacation in Corsica and we have been talking about the impossibly charming coastal town of Calvi. In the last post, we discussed the town’s perfect beach as one of its most appealing traits but there are several other excellent reasons as to why Calvi makes for a perfect getaway in France...

Nicknamed the Island of Beauty due to its stunning landscapes and charming towns, Corsica is a magical gem in the Mediterranean. From dramatic cliffs to turquoise waters, historic citadels perched atop mountains to lush gorges full of chestnut trees, picture-perfect beaches to unspoiled nature preserves, Corsica abounds with beauty. For those looking to vacation in France, it should certainly be at the top of any list of dream destinations and those who book one of our villas in Corsica will find plenty to fall in love with while spending time on the island.
