The iconic harbor is lined with lively caf\u00e9s and seafood restaurants.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What we liked most was that Cassis combines the charm of a Mediterranean village with magnificent natural playgrounds: the calanques on one side and the Soubeyranes cliffs on the other.<br\/>The town is also famous for its white wine, Cassis, which you can taste in the surrounding vineyards.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Provence-Lovers\/Cassis\/n-7WWMPS\/Ville\/i-x6bQG4w\/0\/be8309b5\/L\/Cassis_port-L.jpg\" alt=\"Cassis villa\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hotel Les Roches Blanches<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The atmosphere of this hotel totally enchanted us, offering one of the most beautiful views on the C\u00f4te d&#8217;Azur. Our stay was extremely soothing and inspiring. We were particularly taken with the infinity pools overlooking the sea, and our spacious room with its refined art deco-inspired decor.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hotel becomes even more magical as the sun sets, tinting the surrounding cliffs in a magnificent glow.<br\/><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/fr\/des-roches-blanches.html?aid=2319618\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">See photos, prices and availability &#8211; and book!<\/a><\/strong><br\/>Or check out our selection of <a href=\"https:\/\/provencelovers.fr\/en\/where-stay-cassis-best-hotels-neighborhoods\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"7625\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the best hotels in Cassis<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Provence-Lovers\/Cassis\/Hotels\/n-zGH4rR\/Hotel-Les-Roches-Blanches\/i-TFfbfmr\/0\/d10fc112\/L\/cassis-hotel-roches-blanches-2-L.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Belles Canailles restaurant<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether it&#8217;s fresh seafood caught daily or elegantly revisited Proven\u00e7al specialties, an evening at Belles Canailles is an invitation to relax.<br\/>We recommend arriving before sunset, to admire the changing colors of the Soubeyranes cliffs.

Menton: a charming weekend<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why choose Menton<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Menton is the most unique town on the C\u00f4te d&#8217;Azur. It&#8217;s a fascinating destination to explore. The old town of Menton, with its narrow streets and colorful facades, offers an immersion in the authenticity of the region.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The city is famous for its lush gardens, notably the Val Rahmeh Botanical Garden, which amazed us. Very romantic.<br\/>Menton is the ideal place to relax on its sunny beaches, stroll through its gardens and sample local specialties. We were spellbound.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Provence-Lovers\/Best-of\/n-PbwqvZ\/Paysages\/i-BNW8rZk\/0\/7066ecf3\/L\/menton-vue-garavan-L.jpg\" alt=\"city of Menton\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The London Hotel<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even before entering the establishment, we were seduced by the charm of the main avenue lined with lush plants. The white facade with green shutters blended perfectly into the background.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Located to the west of the city center at Borrigo Beach, we loved staying at this hotel. We were totally won over by the thoughtful decor, outdoor terrace and strategic location!

Saint-Tropez: romantic luxury weekend<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why choose Saint-Tropez?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nestled on the C\u00f4te d&#8217;Azur, Saint-Tropez is a legendary town that combines glamour and authenticity. We were pleasantly surprised, as the town has managed to preserve a real Mediterranean charm (despite the huge yachts in the harbor that block the view of the colorful facades).<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The old town remains on a human scale, where it&#8217;s a pleasure to stroll along the narrow streets. The Old Port, with its terrace caf\u00e9s and relaxed Mediterranean atmosphere, is an iconic location.<br\/>But what struck us most was the surrounding peninsula, which has remained largely undeveloped. It&#8217;s the ideal place to recharge your batteries, with vineyards, impressive views and sandy beaches with azure waters. Ideal for couples!<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Provence-Lovers\/Best-of\/n-PbwqvZ\/Villes\/i-6KHJr8x\/0\/fbed16ed\/L\/Saint-Tropez-L.jpg\" alt=\"view of Saint-Tropez from the citadel\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hotel Sezz<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We fell in love with Hotel Sezz. It&#8217;s a 5-minute drive from the center of Saint-Tropez, near the Canoubiers beach and a 15-minute drive from the magnificent Pampelonne beach.<br\/>We were enchanted by its modern, minimalist design, its vast swimming pool and the impression of an unspoilt oasis far from the hustle and bustle of the city.<br\/><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/fr\/sezz-saint-tropez.html?aid=2319618\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">See photos, prices and availability &#8211; and book!<\/a><\/strong><br\/>Or check out our selection of <a href=\"https:\/\/provencelovers.fr\/en\/where-stay-saint-tropez-best-hotels-neighborhoods\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"7417\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the best hotels in Saint-Tropez<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Provence-Lovers\/Saint-Tropez\/Hotels\/n-BJBJzx\/Hotel-Sezz\/i-XxrX2p8\/0\/fdc4c10e\/L\/Saint_tropez-Hotel_Sezz-L.jpg\" alt=\"Hotel Sezz\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Restaurant Colette<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Colette restaurant, located in the hotel, turned out to be our favorite in Saint-Tropez.

Between its nature, which is everywhere in the city, its seaside, its captivating museums, its architectural gems, and its thriving culinary scene, we didn\u2019t have a moment to get bored in this idyllic spot on the French Riviera.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s the region&#8217;s largest city.<br\/>But what charmed us most was the architecture and elegance of the city&#8217;s streets.
