Escape the rush and immerse yourself in the region’s breathtaking scenery, authentic experiences, and relaxed Mediterranean lifestyle.

Forget crowded tourist traps and cookie-cutter vacations. This summer, why not chase the extraordinary instead? Picture yourself soaking in a hidden thermal spring that locals whisper about, pedaling through forgotten villages where time stands still, or finding your zen in an untouched valley that Instagram hasn't discovered yet. The magic happens when you veer off the main road. That's where you'll stumble upon the family-run vineyard with no signage, the secret waterfall accessible only by a shepherd's trail, or the mountaintop café where the owner still remembers your coffee order from last year. Whether you're craving solo adventures that test your limits, romantic escapes that rekindle sparks, or family discoveries that create stories worth retelling for years, the most unforgettable summers begin with a single decision: to wander where others won't.

From Toulouse to Bordeaux, via the Alps or cycling along the canals, more and more destinations are adapting to disabled travellers. Make your travel easier with our selection of articles and the Tourisme & Handicap label, which lists inclusive accommodation and activities.
