]]>The event is known as Estivales and it’s so successful that it’s been held in Montpellier for over 20 years. Locals and tourists alike gather on the Esplanade Charles de Gaulle where they’ll find dozens of food and wine vendors as well as local artisans who’ve come to sell their goods. Concerts and live music are also key highlights of the festivities.
This year, Estivales has been moved to a new location known as Domaine d’O, a park and open-air theater not far from the original spot. Admission is free, and for five Euros visitors will receive two glasses of wine and an engraved glass to keep. If there’s anything we love more than a summer festival, it’s affordable wine.
Estivales runs every Friday in July and August from 6:30 P.M. to 11:30 P.M.

]]>Located on top of a hill between Monaco and Nice, Èze is often referred to as the most beautiful village in France. It’s accessible by bus or if you’re feeling adventurous, about an hour hike. It’s a quiet town where travelers can enjoy a visit to their 12th-century church, perfume factory, and even a botanical garden.
Nice is the capital of the French Riviera and has historically been a home for many famous artists like Matisse. The city has lots of museums for the art-loving traveler to enjoy along with plenty of opportunities to get outside. Bike or rollerblade down the English Promenade, take a stroll through the old town and check out the local markets, or enjoy a Nutella-stuffed crepe on the beach.
For breathtaking views, look no further than Beausoleil. This French commune, whose name means “Beautiful Sun,” is the place to go if you’re looking to visit Monaco without the Monegasque price tag. The town is less than a kilometer from the famous Monte Carlo casino and Monaco Yacht Club. As it’s situated on a hill, visitors can enjoy stunning views of the sunset over the ocean from almost anywhere in Beausoleil.
