Travelling Cheap

Southern France (also known as Le Midi) is undoubtedly one of the best places in Europe. It includes Limousin, Midi-Pyrenees, Languedoc-Rousillon, Provence and Cote d’Azur. Tourists from around the world visit this part of France to experience the natural beauty of the country, experience the hospitality of the locals as well as experience the culture and history that could be only found in this specific area of France.

The best way to experience Southern France is to travel by road (car hire prices start from £30/day). This is very challenging since you’ll have to travel thousands of kilometers across different cities. Even though this is not your first time in Southern France, there is still a big chance of getting lost. Don’t worry if you end up in a place you haven’t seen on the map – locals are more likely to help you get back on track. Better brush up on your basic French to understand and be understood when asking for directions.

The best reason why you should be going for a road trip in Southern France is the historical sites offered by almost any town you visit. There are UNESCO sites that you could visit in Southern France and most of them have a significant contribution to the current culture of France.

It is also important to remember that you might encounter towns that are relatively colder. Be prepared with your jacket for full protection. If you also have the budget, grab a GPS so that you can never be lost while on the road. Although a map will still be as helpful, an automated guiding system should get you on your preferred destination without any problem.
