The Côte d’Azur in the south of France is perhaps the most famous, with its mixture of beaches and cosmopolitan resorts such as St Tropez and Cannes.

Located in the west of France, it is a region of beautiful beaches and pine forests, and with many campsites located within walking distance of the coast it is one of the most convenient places to camp if you are after a relaxing beach holiday.
If you want spectacular scenery...
