Discover Northern France's spectacular summer activities

The rustic coastal cliffs of Normandy come to life in summer with outdoorsy events. Mont St-Michel is the crown jewel of the region’s summer attractions, boasting eye-catching sunsets and evenings by the beach. Night shows illuminate the pretty island Abbey and festivals like Granville’s Voiles de Travail showcase the best in regional produce. Stay close to the action with Manoir de la Roche Torin, a 19th-century manor house with classic interiors and a restaurant with a garden-view terrace.

Other hotels near Mont St-Michel include the Brittany-based Hotel Les Quatre Salines. This contemporary retreat is surrounded by lush Breton scenery with a restaurant providing enviable views. Rent a bicycle to head out on leafy summer trails like the bucolic Voies Vertes. Day trips in Brittany include majestic sites like Château de Vitré, a castle of fairytale drawbridges and spires. Other must see cities in France include medieval St-Malo on the Côte d’Emeraude, a stretch of coastline that leads to the precarious Fort-la-Latte.

The south coast and its sun-soaked seaside

Scenic Provence is magical in summer with its sumptuous wine-paired dishes and fresh, mouth-watering produce. At Hotel Val Baussenc, guests are close to the Alpilles Natural Park. Enjoy summertime mountain trails and horse-riding excursions before returning to Val Baussenc’s country estate. Guests enjoy pool and spa facilities with a glorious restaurant featuring outdoor seating. For day trips, head to Sentier des Ocres, a disused quarry that visitors must see in France.

Further west, the Camargue region is one of France’s hidden gems.
