"Escape the daily grind, head to the South of France!

The South of France is the closest to the imagined France! My first impression was chic—refined and elegant. But the more I explored, the more I discovered its effortless French art de vivre (art of living). Endless coastline, crystal-clear turquoise waters, mountains by the sea, and untouched nature. Here’s my itinerary, including some hidden gems I loved: Aix-en-Provence: The former capital of Provence. The city center is compact and can be explored in a day. The boutiques are so artistic, and in summer, the air is filled with the scent of dried lavender. The markets burst with Provençal freshness. With many universities, the city is full of stylish young people—so inspiring! And the gelato? Cheap, delicious, and everywhere! 🍦 Cassis: A charming coastal town. Don’t miss Calanques National Park—hike through rugged cliffs to discover hidden fjords with glass-like waters. Swim, lounge on pebble beaches, and truly unplug (no one’s on their phones here!). Perfect for outdoor lovers! 🏞️ Èze: A picturesque hilltop village between Nice and Monaco. Wander through art galleries, cafés, and boutiques, then visit the exotic garden with breathtaking sea views. A photographer’s dream! 📸 Nice: Everyone knows Nice, but its unreal blue sea still takes my breath away! 💙 Marseille: France’s vibrant port city—locals have mixed opinions, but I love its raw energy. Try water sports or take a boat to see the calanques from the sea. ⛵ More dreamy Provençal villages: Gordes: One of France’s most beautiful villages, perched on a cliff with stone houses. Pont du Gard: A stunning ancient Roman aqueduct. Swim in the river or sunbathe like the locals. ☀️ Les Baux-de-Provence: A medieval-style village with a castle and immersive history. #TravelTheWorld #LifeAfterQuitting #EuropeTravel #France #SouthOfFrance #FrenchRiviera #ArtDeVivre #AixEnProvence ✈️🌿🌊"
