The Five Best Places to Visit in France this Summer!

Marseille is a sun-dappled port city on the Mediterranean coast and one of the best places to visit in France during the summer. Catch some rays at a picturesque beach like Plage des Catalans or embark on a coastal hike to the Calanques National Park. While there, make sure you sample bouillabaisse, the city’s hearty and delicious seafood stew. Le Grand Bar des Goudes is particularly praised not only for its flavorful food but also for the incredible views on offer.

After satisfying your taste buds, get out on the water on a boat tour of the Frioul archipelago to explore secret coves where you can swim in refreshing, crystalline waters and bask in Marseille's coastal beauty. Rest your head at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Marseille Vieux Port, right in the heart of Marseille’s iconic Old Port. Get in the Games spirit by watching the flame arrival on May 8th in the Old Port, just in front of the Radisson Blu Hotel!

It’s all in the name: Nice is a must-visit destination. Explore the city from our modern Radisson Blu Hotel, Nice, conveniently situated right in front of the beach, perfect for a summer lunch and an afternoon chilling on the sunbeds. Then, head to the vibrant center of this beautiful capital of the Côte d'Azur. What to do in Nice, France, you may ask. With so many options available, it’s really up to you! Treat yourself to fragrant flowers and fresh, juicy fruits at the Saleya Marketz, or if you’re looking to get active, go for a jog along the 7 km-long Promenade des Anglais that runs along the waterfront or get your heart racing by running up to Castle Hill. You may not be awarded a gold medal at the end, but you will get to admire the most unforgettable views of Nice and the Mediterranean Sea. As evening descends, enjoy spectacular golden hour views from the Radisson Blu Hotel, Nice’s rooftop followed by a mouth-watering dinner at Calade Rooftop.
