Relax in St. Tropez, a people-watcher's paradise with famous beaches
Involves minimal physical effort and is typically associated with leisurely activities. Activities are low-intensity or last less than a few hours each day.
Glittering Cannes is the archetypal Mediterranean resort city discovered by wealthy English nobles who came to the sunny south of France to escape their drafty old castles during the dreary British winters. Cannes’ high flying lifestyle has attracted notables and the notorious ever since. Every year, the stars flock to celebrate the Cannes Film Festival at the colossal Palais des Festivals.
Portofino is an idyllic fishing village on the Italian Riveria coastline. Its pastel-colored houses, luxury boutiques and seafood restaurants surround its Piazzetta, a small cobbled square overlooking the harbor lined with yachts. A short walk takes you up to the Church of St. George, a colorful little chapel built high on the narrow neck of the Portofino headland, with stunning views of the sea.
The coastal town of Propriano is found on the south-west coast of Corsica, about halfway between the major towns of Ajaccio and Bonifacio. The harbor contains a fascinating combination of exclusive yachts and modest fishing boats, and is well worth a visit to get some of the best views of the town. Explore the charming town center, with plenty of luxury shops, cafes, and bars to enjoy.
Stintino is a small village on the northwest coast of Sardinia. Despite the influx of tourists to the island, the area has remained peaceful and enjoys a very traditional way of life. The beaches here are considered to be some of the best in Sardinia with powdery white sand overlooking beautiful crystal clear turquoise seas.
Napoleon once said that he could recognize his native island blindfolded because of the wonderful perfume of the maquis--and indeed, approaching by sea, it is the first thing you experience about Corsica. The second is its wild and mountainous landscape. Nearby are secluded beaches and the eerie Grottes des Veaux Marins, offering fantastic diving opportunities.
Bandol is a quiet little seaside resort in a sheltered bay surrounded by hills that protect it from the wind. It has sandy beaches and a yachting harbor, as well as plenty of bars and restaurants. Each morning there is a market in the center of town with plenty to peruse. Explore this lovely little gem of a town, shaded by pine and palm trees and an abundance of mimosa.
It is said that the most spectacular way to approach the exquisite harbor of St. Tropez is by sea. St. Tropez is a people-watcher's paradise, so you will also want to explore its famous beaches, bistros, and bars. This favorite stop will be memorable whether time here is spent strolling through the town or relaxing by the sea.

Our guide and driver were very good with their knowledge and were very helpful with our questions. It was a very pleasant visit that would have been impossible to do on our own. Hotels and restaurants were fantastic. The special places we got to go to, like the kitchens, were great. Enjoyed the entire trip!

Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
