From Spain’s sun-kissed Costa Brava, we swing north to the ultra-stylish South of France, our sojourn in le Midi beginning in Provence, an epicurious fantasy with picture-perfect fields turned mauve with rolling rows of lavender, hilltop hamlets and charming French market towns, papal palaces and soaring medieval abbeys. Saint-Tropez invites the unrivaled glamour of the French Riviera alongside the cultural cachet of old-quarter Cannes or F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Cap d’Antibes, before we launch to the extraordinary craggy beauty, azure waters and pristine white-sand beaches of Sardinia’s Costa Smeralda. To the Eternal City at sunrise, for ancient grandeur ne plus ultra, and Campari and sodas in sunshine-filled plazas.
