Depending on the tight budget or a little less, it will be the car, the camper, the bus, the train or the plane! If you want to travel responsibly and do ethical tourism, we recommend for the good of our planet to travel by bike or on foot with backpacks.
These are by far the best ways to discover the small and large unusual treasures of France while respecting nature and local development issues.
For a weekend, a week or a few more days, it's time to take to the fields to recharge your batteries and replenish your energy on charming and fresh walks in our beautiful France. Here are some ideas for itineraries to build as a duo: regions so authentic in their old-world flavors and history:
- Our favorite: Annecy, the Venice of the Alps.
Welcome to the city where all loves are possible. Located a few dozen kilometers from Geneva, Annecy is a little paradise for lovers of the great outdoors. This is where our brand of intimate cosmetics and erotic accessories is based and where our team draws all its inspiration. In summer, take a tour of the lake, sail in the turquoise blue waters of the purest lake in Europe and enjoy sunbathing or a refreshing swim.
From spring to autumn, it's great with the added bonus of the Lake Festival and its fireworks in August, the descent from the mountain pastures in mid-October in the heart of the old town, a must! If you like hiking, get off the main roads and take the small paths to discover higher up in altitude, around Annecy, the mountains of Haute-Savoie which are so accessible: whether it's the Tournette, the Semnoz, the Mont Veyrier or the Parmelan, these unusual places will take you with a few drops of welcome sweat to unique panoramas worthy of the most beautiful postcards. As a bonus, you can even decide to camp or spend the night in a refuge to enjoy potato fritters. The excitement will be there, that's for sure!
Stroll through the heart of the old town and come visit our friend Thierry who runs the prettiest love shop in our capital of Haute-Savoie: you will stock up on YESforLOV cosmetic products, intimate toys and you will ask him all the questions you want! Always available Thierry! and there is no doubt that he will give you, with the products, the most appropriate answers. Are you looking for his address? Go to Magic Eden at 5 Boulevard Bellevue, 74000 Annecy. Before closing this beautiful romantic getaway, head to the Pont des Amours to seal your love with a padlock. Between the charm of the canal and the boats along the quay, the superb panorama is conducive to kissing. Moreover, the legend does not weaken; it has been "folded" for a long time for all the lovers who exchange a kiss in the middle of this bridge, they are linked for life!
- For a breath of fresh air: Queyras.
The “country above” with Piedmont as a neighbor! A 100% natural Regional Natural Park, magnificent, astonishingly authentic by its cultural diversity as by its artisanal production. The air always alpine takes on Mediterranean allure in summer, it is a real favorite that is worth the detour. Very close, perched at 2042m altitude, visit Saint-Véran the highest commune in Europe and one of the most beautiful villages in France. And if you like hiking, you can even try an ascent to the unmissable peaks that border the Italian border, like the head of Estoilies, the Pic de Caramantra.
- For perched, unusual or medieval walks: Provincial villages.
Oh how beautiful are the villages of Provence: Full of history, full of charm and authenticity with their beautiful stone houses carefully restored. From the Pays des Sorgues and the Alpilles to L'Esterel and Seillans, what a joy to lose yourself in this exceptional historical heritage!
- For a holiday close to the water, from the Mediterranean to the more distant Ocean:
Stroll along the beaches of Nice, stroll hand in hand on the Promenade des Anglais facing the Bay of Angels, visit old Menton perched on a rocky promontory just above the sea. Also enjoy the hinterland: Vence and Saint-Paul de Vence, Tourette-sur-Loup... A little further, between the Alps and the Mediterranean, Grasse, the city of perfumes which offers a preserved and sunny living environment between fields of flowers and olive trees. If you pass by, do not hesitate to visit the Bar des fragrances which offers you a unique olfactory experience: Create and imagine the perfume that suits you. The little extra: you will take your creation home as a souvenir! Further west in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, on the border with Spain, Sare the picturesque village of smugglers and the Basque Country. On the Atlantic coast, the island of Oléron is wilder than its neighbor the island of Ré, without forgetting the coastal paths from Biarritz to Brest via Quiberon and its peninsula which has everything to seduce you with its magnificent wild coast and its fine sandy beaches.
- And to conclude in style,
Corsica, the island of beauty, secret and eternal: a real gem for a treasure hunt!
As for Corsican songs… It’s paradise on earth guaranteed! If you happen to meet Christian Palix , the founder of YESforLOV, by a lucky chance, say hello to him from us and don’t hesitate to get invited!
