The signals coming out of France are confusing. They always have been. If you’re travelling to France this year, you might like to know where they’re at right now, for people quite often understand France the wrong way round. That’s why it fascinates. Over the weekend, you may have noticed mobs of yobs attempting to wreck Paris, and various provincial spots, in celebration of a football victory. It’s hardly the stuff of city-break dreams. That’s soccer for you, I will say.

Granted, it’s much smaller than Nice, but Cannes positively gleams on the surface. In fact, there are few city promenades more dazzling than La Croisette. Since British aristocrats rolled in to what was then a tiny fishing village in the 1830s, the place has been fashioning itself in the image of the fashionable. More recently, its real achievement has been to spin out across the whole year the sparkle generated by the world’s most notable film festival.

Sète has the unfiltered boisterousness of the real Mediterranean, with no grasp of volume control. And it's that way all year roundPeople often ask me which is my favourite town on the French Mediterranean coast. Well, they don't really, but I wish they would because I have my reply ready.
