Imagine waking up cuddled to the murmur of the sea, sharing a picnic among lavender, or wishing you'd never turn off that flashlight that illuminates your story. This is the gift the South of France offers to those traveling by motorhome as a couple: routes filled with magic, nature, and moments to remember for a lifetime.

This summer, let Calmavan inspire you with seven romantic destinations where every stop is a shared adventure. These are the best places for a couple's RV trip in the South of France:


1. Gordes: a fairytale village in the heart of Provence

This charming village in the Luberon has been declared one of the most beautiful in France. With its cobblestone streets, stone houses, and natural surroundings that look like something out of a painting, Gordes is perfect for getting lost hand in hand . Imagine arriving in your campervan, parking in the sunshine, and strolling through its narrow streets to see a breathtaking panorama... a true tribute to life together.

2. Lavender fields in Valensole: pure fragrant romance

Provence in summer is tinged with lilac in the fields of Valensole. You walk hand in hand, surrounded by color and scent, with the sky as your roof and the shared silence as your backdrop. An impromptu picnic among flowers and laughter becomes one of those memories you'll never forget.

3. Èze and La Chèvre d'Or: medieval glamour overlooking the Mediterranean

Èze is that jewel high on the coast that captivates at first glance. Its steep alleyways, its air of history... And if you're looking for a sublime experience, La Chèvre d'Or, a Michelin-starred hotel and restaurant, awaits you with elegance and endless views. A romantic dinner here will be a poem for two, worthy of your fondest memories.

4. Saint-Tropez and Place des Lices: Provençal sophistication

St-Tropez shines in the French summer with its unconventional glamour. From the Pampelonne sands to the enchanting bustle of Place des Lices, the atmosphere buzzes with painters, cafés, markets, and games of pétanque under centuries-old plane trees. Enjoy the market, a drink at sunset, and that feeling of having discovered a timeless corner.

5. Marseille and Calanques: pure nature for two

Marseille, with its blend of vibrant culture and coastal tranquility, is a laneway in the morning and bohemian by nightfall. From here, set sail for the Calanques, where the turquoise waters and cliffs scatter the beauty of a perfect day together. A hike, a swim in love, and the Mediterranean as your witness.

6. Wine tour near Aix-en-Provence and Saint-Émilion

The South of France is all about the rhythm of wine and shared flavors. You can stop at a winery in Aix-en-Provence, feel the sun gild the grapes, and toast with a fragrant rosé; or discover Saint-Émilion and its winemaking magic. Drinks among the vineyards, laughter, and sharing: wine tastes better in good company.

7. Seillans: artistic serenity among olive trees and music

Seillans is a rural retreat where time slips away. At the end of August, the Musique-Cordiale festival takes place, and the air is filled with classical notes amidst cypress trees and history. Strolling at dusk, listening to music that touches the soul, and sharing silence: that's what it means to fall in love all over again.
