If you want to experience a resort with all of the glitz and glamour then the Cote d'Azur is the place to go to – also known as the French Riviera.

Resorts of Western France

Resorts of Southern France

The western area is dominated by the beautiful Brittany region. There is a wonderful combination of white sandy beaches and delightful rocky coves to explore. Brittany has a striking coastline that is woven by the Atlantic waves. There is a notable Celtic influence on this region. The beaches and coastlines make it a perfect area for those interested in surfing and deep sea diving!

One of the most famous beach regions in France is the Languedoc area. It borders the Mediterranean Sea and borders Spain. Languedoc has several quality sandy beaches. Some of the main resorts are:

Some of the most prominent costal resorts in Brittany include:

· Nice is the largest resort on the Cote d'Azur –and has something for everyone – marvelous beaches, history, wonderful buildings.

Some of the more popular beach resort towns include Saint Malo, Le Touquet, Trouville and Deauville. The white cliff faces and the strange rock formations around the Alabaster Coast are well worth checking out. Other villages included Etretat and Fécamp.

The most popular northwestern resorts of France include the Caen region, which is lapped by the waters of the English Channel. This region holds an important place in French history – much of the area was part of the WW2 Allied landings and the area is dotted with historical landmarks relating to these events in the turbulent European military history. The beaches around the area of Point du Hoc are pretty poignant – some the D-Day landings took place here and so many young men died here fighting for the liberation of Europe during the Allied invasion of June 1944. Many of the beaches in this region such as Calvados represent a pilgrimage for people who lost loved ones in the conflict with Nazi Germany.

There are many reasons to visit the wonderful country of France. If it is pure relaxation and abandonment at a sunny coastal location you are looking for, then look no further! The North, West and South of France provide wonderful beach resorts where you can enjoy the sun and sand without a care in the world. Read on for more…
