Scenery in France

The Riviera's sun-soaked capital, where a pebble beach meets a pastel Old Town and the Promenade des Anglais.

France's rugged Mediterranean port, a sun-baked melting pot ringed by turquoise limestone calanques.

An elegant wine capital of golden 18th-century facades along the curving Garonne river.

A Franco-German crossroads of half-timbered houses and canals around a rose-hued Gothic cathedral.

A medieval abbey rising from a tidal islet, cut off and encircled by some of Europe's fastest tides.
