- Several cities in France at once.
- Stunning French wines.
- "French Rome" in Nîmes.
"Midi" is a generalized concept of the south, synonymous with the sun, the sea and a leisurely and abundant lifestyle. But if you're in a hurry, not only will you not know, but you won't see it. And what, if not the pure joy of being, requires a tribute?
Therefore, a journey through the Mediterranean landscape full of contrasts, where you can see many ancient monuments, Romanesque churches, magnificent museums of modern art and boiling cities should take at least a week.
The route is built in such a way that travelers do not return to the end point, and every day they see only new cities and landscapes. In this regard, the arrival and departure will take place at different airports, Tulsa Airport and Nice Cote d'Azur airports, as well as car rental and return.

The secluded and quiet Arles drowned entirely in Provence culture. Arl's a small town, you can only walk in it. The city centre of Arles, which combines Roman heritage with narrow streets built with 18th century houses, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Colorful Marseille
Noisy, southern, vibrant Marseille is the benchmark for a Mediterranean port city, as we are used to imagining them through adventure books and films. The country's largest commercial port, a major industrial centre and the second most populous city in France; one of the oldest cities in Europe.
These are still multicolored markets, seafood that dries in the sun. But it is also a real boiling soup from different cultures, as well as an abundance of emigrants.
