Southern France has earned a glamorous reputation—thanks largely to Cannes that annually hosts a film festival that is attended mostly by world-renowned performers from all over the world as well as a number of beaches frequented by celebrities. The seaside town, however, is far from being the only attraction in the region; it can also be argued that all of the towns here are tourist destinations in their own right. Nice, for instance, offers a little something for everyone: history, culture, great cuisine, and a fantastic shopping experience. Aix-en-Provence, on the other hand, is a charming town that takes you back to a more slow-paced way of life. To experience the beauty of this region, check out our list of the top 10 Airbnb vacation rentals in Southern France.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on April 09, 2024.
