Salut,mes amis, and welcome to the scorching summertime edition of France Today, in which we present a veritable feast of fabulous French holiday ideas to inspire your next visit.

As ever, there is something for every Francophile within these pages, from iconic, household names – such as the Provençal wonder, Saint-Paul de Vence, and beautiful bastide villages of the Southwest such as Monflanquin – to places which are less familiar
to some but which merit a place on any French bucket-list: the old-school glamour of seaside resort Trouville in Normandy; Saint-Malo (which has plenty to offer beyond its ferry port); the resurgent Riviera town of Toulon; the remarkably sturdy yet elegant fortified churches of Picardy; and hidden gems of Provence… so why not try somewhere new this summer?

If a road trip taking in multiple dream locations is more your thing, why not consider plotting a village-hopping sojourn around the villages and towns of Authentic Southwest? This really is the epitome of gentle, rural France with beautiful stunning and excellent terroir-based food and wine to savour. I was lucky enough to enjoy such a tour recently and as I drove through vineyards and rolling landscapes, I was reminded that this is why I love my job – discovering new places and then recommending them to like-minded committed lovers of France. 

All this plus your favourite regulars: language learning pages, best reader letters and photos (please keep sending your super snaps and try to add a few lines describing the trips you enjoyed), crossword, superb recipes, What’s on Guide, restaurant reviews and much more.
