The Good Life France Magazine Summer 2026

In this edition, we journey from Paris to the fragrant landscapes of Provence and the sparkling shores of the French Riviera. Along the way, we uncover the secret corners that make France endlessly fascinating — the places where shutters creak open onto flower-filled lanes, and vibrant market squares are filled with delicious aromas.

Discover exquisite Goult in southern France, a dreamy Provençal village of golden stone and winding lanes skies. Wander through the Loire Valley, where grand chateaux are a backdrop for gorgeous gardens. Explore charming Le Cannet near Cannes, beloved by artists for its honey-coloured streets and Mediterranean light, and savour the easy seaside pleasures of lovely Marseillan in Languedoc-Roussillon, where oysters, vineyards and sea breezes define the good life.

We also take you to places rich in character and authenticity: Angers, a city full of surprises and secrets; the vineyard-fringed beauty of Bergerac; historic Brittany and Normandy; and the captivating regions of Vienne, Saint-Paul-de-Vence and the sun-kissed Var. Plus we look at cities that are easy to reach by train, easy to walk and have great public transport, so you can leave the car behind.

For lovers of French culture and history, this issue is packed with fascinating stories. Stand beneath the awe-inspiring Roman Pont du Gard, uncover the remarkable history of the humble potato in France, and discover the extravagant — and decidedly not-so-humble — dining habits of the Bourbon Kings.

You’ll also find practical travel guides, insider inspiration and mouth-watering recipes from some of France’s top chefs, bringing the taste of French cuisine straight to your table.

And as always, The Good Life France Magazine is completely free — created by professional writers, the crème de la crème of travel journalism, who share a passion for revealing real France in all its beauty, flavour and charm.
