France

This journey traces a golden curve across the Riviera. It begins in Marseille, where markets hum and the sea smells of salt and spice. Walk through historic quarters, cook with a local host, and sail past Château d’If as the sun drops behind the Frioul islands. Continue through the Calanques to Cassis, where limestone cliffs and art deco details share the same view. Then east to Ramatuelle, where vineyard-draped hills meet elegant ease, and onward to Saint-Raphaël, where the red rocks of the Esterel meet quiet coves. Along the way: secluded beaches, boat trips, cooking classes, museum visits, and hotels designed to shelter you in style.

A deeper look

Marseille, city of man voices

The fish markets, the old quarter, the street corners with saffron in the air, Marseille is layered with time and energy. Your days here are filled with conversations, colours, and a sense of history that stretches back to the Greeks and never stopped evolving.

Cassis and the carved coastline

Cassis may be small, but the cliffs are vast and unforgettable. Between hikes, sea swims and slow evenings with wine, the town gives you a taste of southern France that’s both raw and refined. Every turn reveals another blue cove or a sun-bleached wall.

Ramatuelle’s golden drift

This is where the Riviera leans back. Vineyards roll into sea views, old stone walls hold stories, and long lunches at Club 55 give you a sense that you’ve stumbled onto something rare. It’s less about the scene and more about the feel of being exactly where you want to be.

Saint-Raphaël, framed in red and blue

A town that still carries the elegance of a century ago, Saint-Raphaël gives you soft mornings, bold cliffs, and the kind of calm you want to stretch out. Your hotel sits close to the sea, designed with care and filled with character.

Every road, considered

From cooking classes to private beaches, every stop has been selected for what it adds to your story. It’s a journey shaped by the coast, by the people who live here, and by the things you didn’t even know to ask for until now.

Unpacking in style

There’s something about stays that make you want to linger. With Footprint, you can stay at a London townhouse where the city runs just beyond your window. A lodge in the Scottish Highlands where the fireplace is always lit. A suite in New York where room service feels like a restaurant reservation. The right stay isn’t just where you rest— it’s where the experience begins.
