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

Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur stretches from the Mediterranean coast to the Alps, famous for lavender fields and the glitzy Riviera. Summers here hit 85°F (29°C), perfect for swimming along the Côte d'Azur or hiking the Calanques near Marseille, while winters drop to 45°F (7°C) - that's when you can ski in the Southern Alps or explore the Roman amphitheater in Arles. The region splits into two vibes: the sunny coast with Cannes' film festival and Monaco's casinos, and the hilltop villages of Provence like Gordes, where you can bike through lavender rows in July.
