From Paris to Provins

You begin your trip in the grand metropolis. Once you've sampled a little Parisian style, your first destination is Provins. We recommend an aparthotel stopover in The Originals Residence, Demeure des Remparts, Provins for comfort and freedom.

Once you've relaxed in the hotel spa and spent a comfortable night, you'll want to know what to do in Provins. The city features some extraordinary medieval architecture. So, take a good tour around the UNESCO-recognized monuments and buildings before you head down the road to Troyes.

Troyes to Lyon

A great base for your explorations is The Originals Residence, Kosy Appart'Hotels Troyes City & Park. This aparthotel's attentive team will look after you as you prepare for your next stop, Lyon.

What to see in Lyon, France in one day? Food is a great start. The city is famous for its cuisine, so be sure to visit the 'bouchons Lyonnais', for a taste of traditional regional cooking. You'll also want to know where to stay in Lyon for one night. We suggest The Originals Residence, Hotel Westlodge, Lyon North, for its elegance and modernity, with a superb city centre location.

On leaving Lyon, you'll travel through some amazing landscape in the Massif Central before arriving at your next stop, Grenoble.

Grenoble to Antibes

Grenoble is situated in the most stunning mountain landscape. It's a perfect place for a little hiking as you pass through on your road trip. For accommodation, you should try the serviced apartments at The Originals Residence, Kosy Appart'Hotels Grenoble Les Cedres. The central location is perfect for exploring the city and beyond.

Your next and final stop is Antibes, and we recommend you book into The Originals Residence, Les Strélitzias, Antibes. It's right on the Mediterranean coast, so it makes an ideal base for exploring the city and the region. As for what to do in Antibes, France, of course, there are superb beaches of Juan-les-Pins. Your hotel also offers a range of leisure facilities to finish your trip: as well as a library for bookworms, there's snooker, pétanque and a gym.
