Hotels in South-East France, France
South-East France, stretching from the Mediterranean coast to the Alps, is famous for its lavender fields in Provence and the glamorous beaches of the French Riviera. The climate is Mediterranean, with hot summers (80-90°F / 27-32°C) perfect for swimming in the clear water of the Côte d'Azur, and mild winters (45-55°F / 7-13°C) ideal for hiking the limestone cliffs of the Calanques near Marseille. In spring, you can cycle through the Luberon's hilltop villages like Gordes, while autumn brings harvest season-taste the red wines at Châteauneuf-du-Pape or visit the olive oil mills in Nyons.
