It's easy to get your culture fix in Paris! There are tons of galleries and museums waiting for you to spend hours exploring.

If St Tropez is a little too busy for your tastes, head 30 minutes north to a French Riviera coastline's stunning stretch. Lounge all day on lovely white sand beaches. In Sainte-Maxime, you can take in the Mediterranean views in relative peace. It's the perfect spot to get away from the crowds.
Jessie's Sainte-Maxime honeymoon hotel recommendation is La Belle Aurore.
St Tropez, France

If you dream of being in the middle of all the action hanging with movie stars and royalty, you need to head to St. Tropez. Imagine spending your days soaking up the rays on Leonardo DiCaprio's yacht. Alright, that probably won't happen, but St Tropez encourages you to dream big. Even if you don't get invited to Leo's boat, you can party the night away in one of St Tropez's famous beach clubs.
Jessie's St Tropez honeymoon hotel recommendation is Chateau de la Messardiere.
Alsace, France
Perfect for Stepping into a Fairytale
Alsace has changed from Germany to France for hundreds of years. The people love foie gras & sauerkraut and fine wine & beer. This diverse region is perfect for couples that want to stroll vineyards that fade into the watercolor distance. Explore hilltop castles send their ghosts soaring into the skies. Or sail by half-timbered villages in the picturesque canals that wind their way through town. A trip to Alsace is sure to charm and delight as you step into a Disney fairytale.
Jessie's Alsace honeymoon hotel recommendation is Le Chambord Hotel.

Provence, France
Perfect for Romantics
At its core, Provence is a small town brimming with quaint cafes and vibrant markets.

Which region appeals to your personality? I adore France, but my favorite areas have to be Provence and Alsace. Even to a busy tourist hub like France, it's still possible to have a tailored travel experience that isn't just cookie-cutter. Whether you're looking for an off-the-beaten-path adventure or something that includes popular sites plus the less-visited hidden gems, I can customize your trip, including the cities on your itinerary accommodations and daily activities. If a tailored getaway to France sounds like your cup of tea — or glass of wine, in this case, let's chat!
