Hotels in Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, France

Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur hugs the Mediterranean and rises into the French Alps, famous for lavender fields, Roman ruins, and the Riviera's glamorous beaches. Summers hit 85°F (30°C), ideal for kayaking in the Calanques or cycling through Luberon vineyards, while winters drop to freezing in the Alps for skiing at Serre Chevalier. The coastal strip buzzes with Cannes Film Festival and Nice's seafood, but inland Provence offers quiet markets and 1st-century Roman arenas in Arles.
