Marseille

Aix-en-Provence is a must-visit, with its charming old town and great shopping. If you’re staying there, don’t miss a trip to Château La Coste—a winery with an art exhibition and a picturesque restaurant. It’s an unforgettable experience.

Recently Cassis and the Calanques became popular among some Belarusian tourists, they’re perfect for a day trip, offering some of the most stunning coastal scenery in the region.

For quaint villages and breathtaking nature, head to the Luberon region. Visit Gordes and Forcalquier, and don’t miss the lavender fields in Valensole. While in Gordes, stop by the Abbaye de Sénanque—totally worth it.

Nearby, Arles, Nîmes, and Avignon (all within a 1h20 drive) are treasure troves of Roman history. Highlights include the ancient Roman Theatre in Nîmes, the amphitheater in Arles, and the stunning Palace of the Popes in Avignon.

The French Riviera classics—Monaco, Cannes, Nice, and Saint-Tropez—are all within a 2h30 drive. Since French summer holidays haven’t officially started, it’s a great time to explore. If you visit Monaco, make sure to check out Èze and Cap-Martin, two hillside villages with some of the best views on the Mediterranean sea.

Italy is surprisingly close—just a 3-hour drive to San Remo, a charming seaside town famous for its pesto and incredible Italian cuisine. On the way, stop in Bordighera for an authentic taste of the Italian Mediterranean.
