Discover the French countryside
Discover the French countryside this summer The French countryside is perfect for a family trip: with sandy beaches, quaint villages and rolling landscapes just waiting to be explored. So why not get back to nature and spend this summer exploring rural Normandy and Provence….
The Calanques; Provence Spanning the 20km between Marseilles and Cassis, the Massif des Calanques forms one of France’s most breathtaking stretches of coastline. The Calanques are creeks, formed where the towering chalk cliffs plunge to the sea. En-Vau is the prettiest and one of the more accessible – a mere 90-minute walk from the nearest Cassis car park- although there are plenty of other miniscule white sand inlets waiting to be explored. The Calanques is a protected area and is the perfect place to hike, kayak or cycle your way across the rugged rural landscape.
Pays d’Auge; Normandy Stretching north to the Côte Fleurie, bisected by the River Touques, Pays d’Auge perfectly encapsulates the distinctive charms of Normandy. From endless orchards of apples and pears, thatched houses and half-timbered manors to fat cows and farmhouses selling cider and cheese, this rural region of France has lots to offer. Pay a visit to the Camembert Museum for a taste of the local cheese, explore the delightful selection of villages – Beuvron-en-Auge and Lisieux being two of the best – or visit the enchanting Château St-Germain-de-Livet and the romantic Manoir de Coupesarte. Find out more about Pays d’Auge
The Camargue; Provence The Camargue delta is a magical part of rural France; you’ll find pink flamingos, white horses and Europe’s only cowboys galloping across the flat land. It’s a 200,000-acre area of lagoons, salt-flats and marshes, rich in wildlife and perfect for exploring by bike. A good place to start your visit is the Ginès Information Centre and next door is the Parc Ornithologique du Pont-de-Gau – two acres of beautiful bird park. To really get away from it all, take a trip to Plage de Beauduc – the beach at the end of the world – or visit Les-Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer for a glimpse of a traditional seaside village. Find out more about the Camargue
Alpes-de-Haute-Provence; Provence One of the highest and wildest parts of France, the Alpes-de-Hautes-Provence is relatively undiscovered and still has a very rural way of life. The Durance River and its tributaries – such as the Verdon – cut spectacular gorges through the limestone rock, adding to the breathtaking views of this beautiful part of France. The area is a great place for trying a range of sports from white-water canoeing and hang-gliding, to high-country walking. Or, the town of Castellane is an ideal base for starting a drive through the canyon; wind your way through towering walls of rock before stopping for lunch at the awe-inspiring Point Sublime. Find out more about Alpes-de-Haute-Provence
Giverny; Normandy Traveling through rural France in April 1883, the great Impressionist painter Claude Monet first saw Giverny from a train window and it was love at first site. He soon moved here and planted his beautiful garden so that he could paint in every season. A great way to explore the local countryside is by bike: rent one from the town of Vernon and then cycle to the Fondation Claude Monet to spend the day wandering around the gardens and Monet’s house. The nearby Musée d’Art Américain is also worth a visit for its collection of nineteenth century American impressionist paintings.

Normandy Impressionist Festival Sweeps the Streets of Northern France
As the first-ever Impressionist Festival kicks into high-gear, JustLuxe hits the streets of Normandy to celebrate one of the most influential artistic movements of all time.
The cobblestone streets of Northern France are abuzz, as the first-ever Impressionist Festival kicks into high gear. Slated from June to September, the Normandy region of France will celebrate one of the most relevant artistic movements in art history by offering a variety of cultural programs, exhibitions, and activities.
The Impressionist Festival was initiated under Laurent Fabius, President of the Roen, Elbeuf, Austreberthe Community (CRE), along with the regional governments of Upper and Lower Normandy, the counties of Seine-Maritime and Eure, as well as the cities of Rouen and Caen. With support from the community, local businesses, urban centers, and prominent cultural personalities, the unprecedented, multidisciplinary festival is poised to become one of the largest landmark events in recent French history.
After a recent trip to France, JustLuxe has the insider scoop for those fortunate art aficionados who are planning on attending the festival. As you know, the festival takes place throughout Northern France, and where better to start than by visiting Giverny, more commonly referred to as the estate and gardens of Claude Monet.
If traveling from Paris (or anywhere in France for that matter), the best way to get to the Normandy region is by train. We found that Rail Europe provides a quick and hassle free means of travel, offering a comfortable first-class cabin for those who wish to ride in style. For just $335, you can purchase a First Class France Rail Pass, which provides four days of unlimited travel, valid for one month. Not only are the high-speed trains (Train à Grand Vitesse) both luxurious and convenient, they also offer unsurpassed views of the pristine French landscape. After approximately an hour of yellow and green panoramas flashing through the windows, our train arrived in Vernon, an enchanting town steeped in history, located just 30 minutes from Giverny.
As you approach Giverny, you will most likely find yourself overcome with a sense of surrealism, yet this particular estate is all about one thing: Impressionism. It was here where Claude Monet went about his daily life, raised his eight children, and drew inspiration in the surrounding beauty of his expansive gardens. From the borderline obsessive Japanese prints that blanket the walls, to a kitchen that would make Alice and Wonderland proud, each room inside the estate has been carefully restored by the Foundation Claude Monet Giverny.
While the interior of the pink rural farmhouse is unarguably impressive, the real beauty lays just outside. Spanning two and a half acres, the Jardins de Claude Monet is a welcoming respite, splashed with vibrantly hued flowers and sweet lingering aromas. One doesn't need to be an art aficionado to recognize the familiar specks of color and gleaming flecks of light— but for those who know Monet well — this is truly a profound experience. Cascading perennials, lush greenery, and of course, delicate water lilies scattered gracefully in the water garden, are among the highlights of this well-preserved sanctuary.
In celebration of the upcoming festival, the Musée des Impressionist de Giverny is showcasing Impressionism on the Seine: from Renoir and Monet to Matisse, an exhibition, which brings together approximately 50 paintings from both public and private collections, each which was painted along the banks of the Seine River. The collection is designed to retrace the history of Impressionism and post-Impressionism, from Eugène Boudin to Henri Matisse.
After perusing the gardens and masterpieces by Monet, Renoir, Pissarro, and Sisley, we set out to follow the Route of the Impressionists in Rouen, a charming town situated between Paris and the Normandy coast. Once described by Pissarro as being just "as beautiful as Venice," Rouen is best known for having drawn the likes of landscape painters, serving as an instrumental landmark during the time of the Impressionists.
The Route of the Impressionists runs along the Seine Valley La Bouille, Sahurs et Bonsecours and highlights 22 key locations where such famous artists had once set up their easel and captured the landscape that lay ahead. The six tourist routes are scattered throughout Dieppe, Etretat, Le Havre, La Bouille, Rouen, and Giverny, and are marked with reading panels that describe which Impressionist painting was created at the site, and by whom.
After literally standing in the footsteps of some of the most influential artists of all time, we headed back to the city, checked into the medieval Hotel Bourgtheroulde, passed the burning grounds of Joan of Arc, and made our way to the Musée des Beaux Arts. With 100 masterpieces devoted to the city "of a thousand steeples," the Musée des Beaux Arts boasts the finest Impressionist collection in France, outside of Paris. In celebration of the festival, the museum presents: A City for Impressionism: Monet, Pissarro, and Gauguin in Rouen.
While Impressionist paintings hang on the white walls inside, the real spectacle occurred just outside its doors. On June 5, 1,250 participants clutched a recreated piece of Monet's La Cathédrale de Rouen, effet de soleil, fin de journée, and as they extended their arms towards the sky, the puzzle came into focus and was projected for all to see, covering a surface area of 600 square meters.
There is no denying that the much-anticipated Impressionist Festival has swept the streets of Upper and Lower Normandy. From museum exhibitions and carefully mapped routes along the Seine, to exclusive pre-fix "Impressionist menus" at local restaurants, the Impressionist Festival is one cultural event that is not to be missed.
