The village was voted "Favourite Village of the French" in 2012. Situated in the Lot Valley, the small village of Saint-Cirq-Lapopie boasts 13 historic monuments. This small medieval village clinging to its cliffs is an ideal romantic destination.

If you prefer nature to the big city, Moustiers-Sainte-Marie is the place for you. In the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, Moustiers-Sainte-Marie lies at the gateway to the Grand Canyon du Verdon. Magnificent walks await you around Lake Sainte-Croix, or in the Gorges du Verdon.

In France, wine is part of tradition, and Collioure is no exception, as it is a destination renowned for its wine.

There's something for everyone and every taste. Red, rosé, dry or sweet white... But Collioure isn't just about wine, this Catalan fortress is a town between land and sea, where the tramontane wind pushes aside the grey clouds.

It may be artificial, but that doesn't detract from its charm. The Payolle lake is located in the heart of one of the most beautiful fir forests in the Pyrenees. A real playground for wanderers and nature lovers.

The Mont Saint-Michel needs no introduction! Visited by millions of tourists every year, it is one of the wonders of France. Its history began in 709, when the bishop of Avranches built a church on a deserted rock off the Normandy coast.

Along the Vézère is one of the most charming villages in France: Montignac. It's an ideal base for exploring the 15 UNESCO World Heritage sites, including the Lascaux cave, certainly the most famous cave in France.

Royal blood runs in the veins of Amboise. This can be seen in its major monuments, such as the Château Royal, the Château du Clos Lucé and the famous Château du Duc de Choiseul. All the great names in French history have passed through Amboise. So why not do the same with your other half?

Saint-Emilion is best known for its vineyards. In fact, it was the first to be listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, in December 1999. A title of which the region is very proud. You'll understand why once you've tasted this delicious beverage (but in moderation).

Nicknamed the Island of Flowers, the Island of Bréhat is a real gem off the coast of Finistère. If plants can survive on the island, it's thanks to the Gulf Stream, which softens the temperatures and allows tropical species to flourish over almost 300 hectares. This is the perfect environment for a romantic getaway.

Arcachon lies between the Atlantic Ocean and the Landes forest. It is from this duality of natural elements that the town draws its strength. Between seaside tourism on the beach and sports tourism among the conifers. As we often say in love, "opposites attract".
