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

Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur is a Mediterranean region in southeastern France, famous for lavender fields, the French Riviera, and Roman history. Its hot, dry summers (80-90°F / 27-32°C) are great for swimming at Saint-Tropez beaches or hiking the Verdon Gorge, while mild winters (45-55°F / 7-13°C) let you tour the Palais des Papes in Avignon or the Roman amphitheater in Arles without crowds. The region splits between the glamorous coast-think Cannes film festival and yacht-filled ports-and the rustic Provençal interior with lavender blooms on the Valensole Plateau from June to July.
