Mediterranean shores

<p>Beneath the sun of the Western Mediterranean, fall under the spell of a journey on which every city will reveal the riches of its shores. In the Gulf of Lion, Sète charms with its lively canals and its authentic atmosphere, whereas vibrant and cosmopolitan Marseille mixes the energy of its historic districts with the splendour of its natural scenery. The Isle of Beauty (Corsica) reveals an ideal combination of majestic landscapes and bright beaches. The stone villages, the fragrances of the maquis and the turquoise sea form a backdrop that is at once wild and refined. Sardinia unfolds through Alghero, a fortified town, surrounded by cliffs and preserved shorelines. In the Balearic Islands archipelago, Palma de Mallorca rolls out the silhouette of its cathedral opposite the sea, its lively little streets and the sun-drenched softness of island life.</p>
