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

Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur hugs the Mediterranean coast of southeastern France, with hot, dry summers averaging 80°F (27°C) and mild winters along the shore, while the Alpine peaks get snowy. In summer, you can hike the lavender fields around Valensole (peak bloom June to July) or swim at Nice's pebble beaches, and in winter, hit the slopes at resorts like Valberg. If you prefer history, check out Arles' Roman amphitheater, and for fewer crowds and lower prices, plan your trip for spring or fall.
