Exploring France: From Parisian lights to landscapes in Provence
What to see
The Eiffel Tower: If you’re looking for something iconic
The Eiffel Tower is a must-see when visiting Paris. It has a special kind of charm. Back in the day, you could walk right underneath it, which made the experience feel more open and spontaneous, with people gathering and having picnics nearby. Today, access is more restricted, but it has not lost its magic.

Late evenings are a great time to visit, especially in summer. The tower sparkles every hour after sunset, and the city lights from the top are worth the climb.
The Verdon Gorge: If you’re looking for epic landscapes
The Verdon Gorge is one of the most breathtaking places I have ever visited. It was also the very first hike I ever completed, which made the experience even more unforgettable. Along the route, the scenery feels almost unreal. The scale of the landscape, combined with the silence and raw beauty of nature, makes the entire experience feel incredibly immersive. It is the kind of place that stays with you long after you leave.

Cassis: If you’re looking for my personal favorite
Cassis is my favorite place. It is a small town in the south of France that holds a special place in my heart. For many years, I used to vacation in the south, but I was never the one choosing the destination. Cassis was actually the first place I intentionally decided to visit, and I fell completely in love with it. Now I go there every single year, at least once.
Everything feels simple and lively at the same time.
Cassis is small, welcoming and easy to enjoy without doing too much. I usually spend time by the port, head to a restaurant with a nice view, and either go to the beach or hike in the Calanques.
The Colorado Provençal: If you’re looking for a hidden gem
Have you ever imagined experiencing something that feels like the Grand Canyon in France? The Colorado Provençal in Rustrel might not be the first place that comes to mind when visiting France, but it is definitely worth a stop if you are travelling through Provence.
The Colorado Provençal is very easy to explore thanks to its simple walking paths, making it accessible even if you are not an experienced hiker.
It is also a great way to experience a different side of Provence, offering a striking contrast to the coastline and mountain landscapes the region is usually known for.
What to eat and drink
When it comes to food and drink in France, it is hard to choose just one thing because each region has its own specialties.
There is a very particular type of restaurant in Paris called a “bouillon,” which dates back to the 19th century and has recently made a comeback.
Bouillon Chartier in Montparnasse is one of the most famous examples, with a beautiful Art Nouveau interior that is well worth visiting. The food is simple, but the experience is mostly about the atmosphere. You can end up seated next to people you do not know at the same table, and conversations often start naturally.
Staying safe during your travels in France
Stay protected while you travel with Kaspersky
A trip should be about the journey ahead, not about worrying whether your phone, your accounts, or your personal data are safe along the way. But travel is exactly when your digital life can be exposed: you're booking things on the go, tapping links from unfamiliar senders, logging in to new apps, and connecting to whatever Wi-Fi you can find. Kaspersky helps you stay protected through all of it, so you can focus on where you're going.
It often starts before you even leave. As you book flights, hotels, and transport, Kaspersky Premium helps protect you from common travel scams, for example, fake booking links, misleading travel offers, and scam messages designed to catch you mid-plan. With Safe Messaging feature, it can flag suspicious links and messages before you tap, whether you're confirming a reservation, arranging a ride, paying online, or chatting on the go with a local guide.
With Kaspersky eSIM, you can get online as soon as you arrive without searching for a local SIM card or relying on unsecured public Wi-Fi. Whether you need to check directions, contact your accommodation, book a taxi or let your family know you've arrived safely, staying connected from the very beginning of your trip is simple and convenient.
Once you're on the move, the Wi-Fi at airports, hotels, cafés, and train stations becomes part of everyday travel, and that's where Kaspersky VPN comes in. By encrypting your internet traffic, it helps you use public networks more safely when you browse, check your plans, or access your accounts. It also helps you stay connected to the services you rely on at home — from banking and personal accounts to your favorite apps, websites, and streaming services — even while you're abroad.
And because travel means juggling more accounts than usual — airline apps, hotel sites, booking platforms, email, payment services — Kaspersky Password Manager keeps your credentials secure and within easy reach from your mobile device. It can create and manage strong passwords so you're not relying on weak or reused ones, and it lets you log in quickly wherever you are. You can also keep important travel documents (passport details, tickets, and booking confirmations) in a secure vault, so they're ready the moment you need them.
Together, these tools help protect your personal data across your devices and alert you to potential risks as you go, so the only thing you have to think about is the journey, not your digital safety.
