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.

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.
