Florence

Florence, the regional capital of Tuscany, is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Italy.

The surrounding countryside is well-known for its rolling hills and its wine, particularly the Chianti area between Siena and Florence.

Biarritz

They all used to come here: from Coco Chanel and Ernest Hemingway to Frank Sinatra and the royals. Biarritz used to be the Monte Carlo of the Atlantic coast. With time, the glamour faded, bringing in a new, fresh wave of travellers. Thanks to windsurfing and other water sports, however, the charming city has rejuvenated. It is now the perfect destination for a relaxing weekend break, and there is no need to rush: the city is fairly small and you can easily see everything even on a short visit.
