The Big Blue: where to go in July for sun and the beach?

For most people, July means sun, beach, and tanning. If you’re looking for where to go in July for sunshine in France, here are the must-sees.

The French Riviera: glamour and crystal-clear waters

It’s the star destination. From Saint-Raphaël to Port Grimaud, the Mediterranean shows off its most beautiful colors.

  • For couples: Stroll around Saint-Tropez, enjoy crystal-clear waters and a chic atmosphere for a romantic getaway.
  • The SOWELL advantage: Our properties offer privileged access to these iconic places, often with a pool to cool off after a day of exploring.

Family-friendly and festive vibes in Le Grau-du-Roi

If you’re looking for where to go in July with the family, with a lively atmosphere, head to Le Grau-du-Roi. It’s kids’ paradise and parents’ relief: huge beaches, funfairs, entertainment… It’s also an ideal destination for party lovers who want to enjoy the nightlife.

The endless ocean: Soustons Plage and the Atlantic

Craving waves and pine forests? Soustons Plage on the Landes coast is the answer for those who want the ocean without the sometimes “see-and-be-seen” vibe of the French Riviera. It’s the perfect spot to breathe and enjoy nature.

Escape the heat and the crowds: “cooler” destinations

Are you one of those typing « where to go in July so it’s not too hot » or « away from tourists »? France is full of calm, climate-friendly refuges.

Summer in the mountains: Mont Blanc away from the crowds

While beaches are often packed, the mountains offer space and freshness. Facing Mont Blanc, temperatures are ideal (20–25°C). It’s THE destination for where to go hiking in July. You’ll enjoy breathtaking landscapes, in peace, far from the coastal rush.

Norman elegance in Trouville-sur-Mer

Want to escape the heat of the south? Normandy—especially Trouville-sur-Mer—offers a mild, invigorating climate. It’s a perfect destination for where to go in July as a couple: stroll along the boardwalk, enjoy seafood, and relax on beautiful beaches without the heatwave.

Nature and river swimming: the Ardèche

If you’re looking for where to go in July for peace and nature, the Ardèche is your ally. River swims, canoeing, caves… It’s a fantastic green alternative to avoid the crowds on the Mediterranean coast.

Who are you traveling with? Targeted ideas

Where to go in July with the family?

Traveling with a teenager or a baby in July takes strategy.

  • With teenagers: They need action! Choose our clubs with pools and close to activities (Grau-du-Roi, Argelès).
  • With a baby: Avoid extreme heat. We recommend the mountains or Normandy, which are more comfortable and safer for little ones.

As a couple or for a honeymoon

July can be romantic. If you’re looking for where to go in July for a honeymoon in France, or simply as a couple, aim for our sea-view hotels on the French Riviera—or the intimacy of a mountain chalet.

With friends to party

Looking for where to go in July with friends? Choose lively resorts: Saint-Tropez for glamour, or Cap d’Agde and Le Grau-du-Roi for wild nights until dawn.

How to travel on a budget in July?

Let’s be realistic: July is peak season. Finding where to go on a budget in July in France is a challenge. Rental prices soar.

The So’Inclusive solution to keep spending under control

At SOWELL, we have the answer for those who want to travel in July and August on a budget (or at least without breaking the bank). Our So’Inclusive package guarantees the best “value for money”. Accommodation + meals + drinks: everything is paid in advance—even in peak season. It’s the only way to secure a stable budget for your vacation.

FAQ: your questions about traveling in July

Where to go in July to avoid crowds in France?

The mountains (the Alps, Mont Blanc) are the best option. Ski resorts turn into vast green playgrounds and are far less crowded than the coast. Inland areas, like the Ardèche, are also less dense than the seaside.

Where to go in July so it’s not too hot?

Aim for the north or higher altitude! Normandy (Trouville) and Savoie/Haute-Savoie offer breathable temperatures—ideal for sleeping cool at night.

Where to go in July with the family on a budget?

In July, “budget-friendly” is all about total cost. Avoid the most “hyped” areas (like the heart of St Tropez) and choose destinations like the countryside—or our So’Inclusive offers.

Discover all our inspiration on where to go on holiday in France, for holidays in June, holidays in August and holidays in September.
