Discover the unrivalled region of PACA. This perennially famous region in the South of France needs little introduction. Made up of 6 French departments - Bouches-du-Rhône, Var, Vaucluse, Hautes-Alpes, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence and Alpes-Maritimes, it boasts an 800-kilometre coastline of great diversity that unfurls between a hundred or so extremely beautiful beaches. Unspoilt yet sophisticated, PACA is a pleasant mix that goes so well with summer. The region offers the elegance of its sun-drenched hinterland and shores caressed by the Mediterranean Sea. The ideal destination for anyone in search of a holiday in the heat to enjoy the sweet Mediterranean life. Hurry, book your mobile home or pitch at one of our 2, 3 and 4-star campsites in the famous PACA region.
The South of France is an iconic destination. The shade of the parasol pines, the blue stretches of the Mediterranean, the warm mistral wind, the melodic song of the cicadas... it’s no wonder PACA is the region that attracts French holidaymakers in their highest numbers. Soak up the atmosphere of the busy towns, between warm smiles, café terraces that bring all generations together, and the highly colourful local cuisine. This is one of those perfect French destinations for a family holiday or a getaway with friends at a seaside campsite.
Provence Alpes Côte d’Azur is bounded by the Mediterranean Sea in the south, and by Italy to the east. A whole way of life in which the pace is set by local traditions and the Italian influence. Go exploring villages perched high in the hinterland, and try all those treasures on display at the local markets. Delight at the breathtaking views and panoramas from the mountains that plunge into the sea. Spend your days lazing on pebble beaches or dipping into the waters of the coves. These characteristic geographical features of PACA, along with the region’s very special light, are an invitation to enjoy the tranquillity on your holiday filled with magic.
Between the coast and the hinterland, you’ll appreciate the perfect combination of summer heat and your campsite’s pool complex!
Your holiday in the PACA region begins on the beautiful coast of the French Riviera. Discover legendary beaches like that of Nice and its famous Promenade des Anglais, Cannes and its Croisette, and Saint Tropez, the haunt of celebrities. Unless of course you prefer remote coves like the “calanques” near Marseille, a magical place where even the rocks glisten.
Admire nature at its purest by visiting the region’s national parks. Visit the parks of Ecrins for its diversity of landscapes, Mercantour for a beautiful mix of mountains and sea, or the Calanques National Park, famous for its outstanding biodiversity.
The PACA region is also full of towns and villages oozing with character, that culture fans will love for their authenticity. Whichever French department you pick, you’ll have so many visits to choose from: Avignon in Vaucluse, Briançon in Hautes-Alpes, or Toulon in Var.
A region steeped in culture inevitably has lots of places to visit! Some are near the sea, like Fort Carré, Fort Brégançon, Fort Saint-Nicolas and other forts along the Mediterranean coast, others are inland, such as the Palace of the Popes in Avignon, the ancient monuments of Provence and the Vauban fortifications.
To fully appreciate the PACA region’s natural environment, take a ride on the Train des Pignes. You'll travel along the French Riviera, through Provence and into the mountains of the Southern Alps. You can also explore between the lavender fields and vineyards of Provence, on foot or by bike.
The canals, rivers and lakes, and of course the sea, invite you to try all sorts of water sports. Go rafting down the rapids on Alpine rivers, explore the coves by kayak, or enjoy a canyoning descent in the Loup gorges! Experience the magic of PACA!
