The French Riviera Trip

DAY 1

Arrive in the South of France and make your way to Cassis. Airport transportation is not included, but we’ll connect you with trusted drivers so getting there is smooth and easy. Plan to check into Best Western Hôtel La Rade by 3pm.

We’ll kick things off with an orientation hike around 5pm through Calanques National Park to shake off travel and get your first hit of that Mediterranean blue. After the hike, we head straight to the harbor for a big group dinner, your first proper Cassis night with the crew and the perfect start to Bonjour Cote d' Azur.

DAY 2

We start with a morning workout in Calanques National Park, surrounded by cliffs, pines, and that unreal Mediterranean blue. Then it’s a full-day kayak mission through the same park, pulling up to secret little beaches and hidden coves for swim stops and sun time.

The afternoon is pure Cassis, wandering into cafés, harbor strolls, and whatever catches your eye. We finish with a big group dinner on the waterfront with a vibing nightlife.

DAY 3

We say goodbye to Cassis and head to Aix-en-Provence for a proper Provence day. Think pretty streets, markets, espresso stops, and plenty of free time to shop and wander at your own pace. Later, we make our way to the lavender fields for a golden-hour moment.

We continue on to Verdon, check into Hôtel du Commerce Verdon, and settle in with a relaxed dinner in town before the canyon adventures start.

DAY 4

We start with a short hike to a panoramic viewpoint above Verdon, then hit a quick workout to wake the body up before breakfast. After that, it’s straight into the gorge for aqua randonnée. Think electric-blue water threading through towering limestone walls, swims and scrambles, and constant “how is this real” moments.

Back in Castellane, the pace shifts. The afternoon is yours to wander the tiny streets, post up in the main square for a drink, and soak up that small-town Provence magic. Dinner is on your own tonight, so pick a little local spot, order a great glass of wine, and if you’re feeling bold, try the escargots.

DAY 5

We start the morning in Verdon with a hike, then head out on an excursion to Lac de Chaudanne for swims, sun time, and that unreal alpine-blue water. Afterward, we lean into true French leisure, a slow lunch, café time, and a little wandering before we head back toward the coast. By late afternoon, we roll into St Tropez for the start of the finale, check into our hotel, do a quick glow-up, and head straight to the beach club.

Dinner is on your own tonight, the perfect excuse to explore St Tropez and find your new favorite spot.

DAY 6

Sleep in today. After coffee, we’ll jump on our bikes for a ride through the St Tropez countryside that leads us to a winery for yoga and lunch.

From there, it’s straight to the beach for our final afternoon in the sun. Later, we dress up for a rosé happy hour, then close out with SYB traditions and dinner at a famous pizza spot, the perfect last-night feast with the crew.

DAY 7

We keep the morning slow and soft. Coffee, and a final wander or beach moment if time allows. Then it’s departures, with a camera roll full of proof and that very specific feeling of “how was that real life.”
