Places you’ll journey through
London Paris
Take the Eurostar from London St Pancras to Paris. Relax with a drink and a good book or film as you watch the British fields turn into the French countryside from your carriage window.
Paris Marseille
From Paris, zoom south to Marseille while enjoying a comfy seat, calming countryside views and snacks from the onboard café on your journey.
Marseille
Founded by Phocaeans in 600 BC, Marseille is France’s oldest city. Since then it has become home to people from across Europe and North Africa, creating a diverse and vibrant culture. The relaxed port, ancient Le Panier neighbourhood and lively streets create a unique atmosphere not to be missed, plus beyond the old port is the Plage des Catalans, a great city beach with fabulous sunsets.
Cassis
This colourful port town, just east of Marseille, has a laid-back seaside ambience and great beaches. It’s home to cobbled squares, pretty boats, lively cafes and, most importantly, it's the gateway to the rocky, coastal Calanques National Park.
Cassis Nice
Make your way to the station for the showstopping journey to Nice. Wind along the Côte d'Azur past sweeping vineyards at Bandol, thick forests of the Massif de Maures and the rugged coves of the Esterel mountains just beyond Saint-Raphaël.
Nice
The Côte d’Azur’s chic capital, Nice is a charming, lively and sophisticated city. With sun-drenched beaches, Baroque buildings and an unrivalled food scene, Nice is the perfect place to soak up the splendour of the French riviera.
Nice Bastia
Make your way to Nice's port to board the ferry to Corsica. Enjoy the afternoon soaking up the sun in a deck chair on the top deck, or on the comfortable sofas inside, before arriving in Bastia in time for dinner.
Bastia
France's second largest port city, Bastia has a big city feel and rich maritime history, with an authentic charm that feels significantly more lived in than many of the neighbouring seaside towns. The city is made up of two distinct neighbourhoods, Terra Vecchia which cradles the harbour, and the stern-walled citadel of Terra Nova looming above.
Duration of stay in Bastia 3 nights

Ajaccio

This relaxed hotel is five minutes from the seafront, with a restaurant and bar, as well as a terrace, a outdoor pool and a hot tub.

Bonifacio
Perched on a precarious-looking promontory, Bonifacio is a spectacular fortress town on Corsica’s southernmost point. Enclosed in towering city walls, the old town is a web of winding alleyways overlooking a bustling harbour, connected by a steep path and a little train that chugs between the two throughout the day.
