d’Azur, France’s coastal regions
have plenty of surprises in store.
With each passing season, they
take on all the colours of life.
Spring begins the dance of the
4 seasons. On the coast, each
season is a special time to make
the most of the beneficial effects
Getting away from it all 2
of the sea.
From the English Channel to

On foot or by bicycle, whistle your way along
the coastal paths as you seek out charming
little inlets, beaches of fine sand or pebbles.
A mask, a snorkel, a dive, you can feel the call of
the clear blue Mediterranean.
t t
i
e n On the Atlantic coast, let yourself be rocked by
a
G gaw y the ocean tides as you contemplate the beauty of
the landscape.
In Normandy or Brittany, breathe in the sea air of
f i t al the English Channel, and go out collecting
r l
om
whelks, cockles or sea urchins and then eat them
in the evening by a nice open fire… The English
Channel also brings its green undulating
farmland, dotted with little stone-built farms and
pretty villages full of character.
Summer and winter alike, the coast always has
something to explore and enjoy.

Explore the ecosystems of each region along the
coastal paths.
Enjoy a rare and conserved environment: from
the steep hills of the Channel to the immense
coasts of the Atlantic or the verdant Mediterranean
shores. Take a close look at the flowers, the plant
life, the seabirds, the denizens of the depths…
Enjoy the diversity and wild beauty of the
landscapes, especially in Corsica, where you will
E
g be enthralled by the wealth of its natural heritage.
n
xpl i With the sea, the ocean on one side and on the
o
r
other parks and gardens, old houses, historic
buildings and architecture that still bear witness
to the coast of former times. The coastal regions
offer a cultural experience in a class of its own.
You can for example go on a tour of the amazing
and wonderful lighthouses that stand sentinel
on the coastline. Visit these extraordinary
constructions, genuine masterpieces of ingenuity
and architecture.
The coastline has plenty more surprises in store.

You cannot imagine all that the coastal regions of
France have in store for you when it comes to
activities.
Looking for a bit of peace and quiet? The coast is the
ideal place to get back in shape gently, by walking,
cycling or indulging in a spot of thalassotherapy…
At low tide, the beach is an ideal playground for your
t
Vi l i y children who, armed with a bucket and shrimping
ta
net, can go hunting for shells, seaweed and little
crustaceans… It is also a great opportunity for a big
family walk or for a game of boules among friends.
Fancy letting off steam? How about having a go
at sand-yachting, jet skiing, windsurfing, diving or
surfing, unless you’d rather take a trip in a catamaran?
Frisbee, kite-flying or golf are ideal activities for those
not so keen on getting wet but who want to enjoy the
benefits of the coast.

The seaside resorts have managed to retain that
gentle lifestyle on which their reputation was
built.
As soon as you arrive, pop into the Tourist Office.
e They have thought of everything to ensure you
m
the best possible welcome. You will find all the
Welco
information you need for an unforgettable stay.
Then go off and enjoy this unique seaside
atmosphere at your leisure. Try the typical
dishes based on fish and fresh market produce,
tour the villages to see the local traditions, the
men and women who are the source of the
region’s riches, and then why not end the day on
a café terrace with a little aperitif …
