Avignon
Avignon is the former seat of the popes, as well as being a charming Provencal city. If you think only the famous bridge when you hear the name Avignon, be sure to check out what other attractions are worth seeing in the area.
The Greek styled Villa Kerylos
There is a house in a truly Greek style on the French Riviera. This is Villa Kerylos, built on a rock next to the sea in Beaulieu-sur-Mer. The building is a faithful copy of a Greek mansion from over 2,000 years ago.
Biot
Biot is a town that was dominated by pirates at the end of the 14th century – today it is famous primarily for its artistic ceramic products. The tiny Old Town is full of galleries, restaurants, and shops.
The Fernand Léger Museum in Biot
For a long time I bypassed the Fernand Léger museum in Biot for fear of being bored – meanwhile, inside, there were wonderful and colorful works by the artist and his friends, as well as a garden encouraging rest and relaxation.
Gare du Sud in Nice
Gare du Sud is a food hall in Nice. It’s located near the city center and can be reached by tram T1, or on foot. One of the most modern movie theaters in France has been built next to it.
Cassis
You must visit Cassis when you’re in the area of Marseille. This small port town is beautiful. The most famous attraction in Cassis are the nearby “calanques”, which are known as the French fjords, but the town itself is nevertheless charming.
