Bordeaux

Bordeaux is one of the world's most important wine-producing areas and also a major cultural center. The city has excellent museums, lively nightlife and beaches close by. Wide avenues, neoclassical architecture and well-tended parks all give the city an 18th-century grandeur. The most interesting neighborhood in Old Bordeaux is the "golden triangle:" cours Clemenceau, cours de l'Intendance, and les all�es de Tourny. Tour the chateaux, imbibe the world-class wines and Bordeaux will charm you forever.

Toulouse

The old capital of Languedoc, Toulouse is nowadays France's fourth-largest city. It is a city with a distinguished historical past, and also a city of the future and the high-tech center of the aerospace industry in France. Its small, 18-century Old Quarter is a maze of narrow lanes and plazas in which to get happily lost. Its River Garonne is peaceful by day and romantic by night, when the Pont Neuf is floodlit. Stumble across grand churches, fine art and handsome 16th-century mansions.

Carcassonne

The greatest fortress city of Europe, Carcassone, is a fairyland, evoking bold knights, fair damsels, and troubadours. Time seems to stand still in this place filled with magic. It is separated into the fortified Cit� de Carcassonne and the more expansive lower city, the ville basse. Everybody comes for the Cit�, the double-walled and turreted fortress that was added to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites in 1997.

Avignon's architecture, marked by papal history makes it one of the most interesting and beautiful of Europe's medieval cities. Lately, it has become well known as a cultural center. Artists and painters in increasing numbers have been moving here. Experimental theaters, painting galleries, and art cinemas have brought diversity to the inner city.

Nice

Nice is the capital of the Riviera, yet far less glamorous and expensive than Cannes. It's also one of the most ancient, having been founded by the Greeks, who called it "Nike," or Victory. Because of its brilliant sunshine and relaxed living, it has attracted in the past famous artists and writers. The best trip center on the Riviera, you can choose to explore region or hang out in its famous cafes. But the most obvious hangout spot here is the beach. The Nice beach is rocks, just rocks so wear a pair of good sandals.

Customer Feedback

First of all, a little history. We recently returned from a 10 day trip through the south of France. We had a wonderful time. This is our second trip booked through EuropeanDestinations.com (the first was our two week honeymoon in Italy). I would definitely recommend EuropeanDestinations.com to all of my friends and family. Hotels: All of our hotels were excellent (Bordeaux, Carcassonne, Avignon and Nice) were wonderful. They were clean, had friendly and helpful staff and great location/proximity to city centers and tourist attractions. Rental car: We received a Renault Twingo. Nothing fantastic there, but the car was completely competent for our trip. No complaints. That`s all we booked though EuropeanDestinations.com. Everything else we did, we came to on our own. As I said in the beginning, this is our second use of this website to book travel arrangements and we will DEFINITELY use it again for our next European trip.
