You’ve chosen to go on holiday in September – and you’ve made the right choice. The sun is still shining, the temperatures are milder, the summer crowds have returned to their daily lives and prices are lower. But where to go in September? Here are a few ideas for the best destinations for your September holiday!
The best destinations to visit in September
Occitanie – sunshine and the blue waters of the Mediterranean
You can hardly go wrong by setting down your bags in Occitanie in September. Lovers of relaxation can still soak up the sun on the Mediterranean beaches of Cap d’Agde or in Torreilles while kitesurfing enthusiasts can ride the Mediterranean waves in Leucate.
September is also the perfect time to go hiking or kayaking in the Aveyron, (re)discover heritage gems Carcassonne and Nîmes, or enjoy a bike ride along the Canal du Midi!
Brittany – for a refreshing, peaceful break after summer
In September, Brittany welcomes you with its legendary generosity and breathtaking natural scenery. From the very first moment, you’ll be charmed by this little paradise between land and sea.
What do holidays in Brittany in September look like? A hike along the GR 34 “the Customs Path”, a day trip to Saint-Malo, an afternoon snack by the sea in Bénodet, a family outing to Névez or a sunset over the Atlantic. With its wealth of heritage and natural wonders, beautiful Brittany promises you a memorable ocean getaway!
Veneto – Italian romance for your holidays
Aaaah, Italy. Its colourful towns, ancient cities, enchanting landscapes, sunshine-filled gastronomy, its dolce vita – everything here breathes romance and that gentle way of life that visitors adore, especially couples looking for a romantic destination in September.
And where there's Italian romance, there's Venice! The City of the Doges is one of the wonders of the Veneto region and a true delight to visit in September. But Veneto's treasures don’t end there: Verona, Padua, the islands of Burano and Murano as well as the popular seaside resort of Cavallino-Treporti are all waiting for you!
Corsica – the Island of Beauty in complete tranquillity
Paradise beaches, stunning scenery, towns and villages brimming with charm – Corsica has truly earned its nickname as the “Island of Beauty”… and its place among the best destinations to visit in September!
On the programme for your family or romantic holiday: relaxing on the beaches of Palombaggia and Saleccia, hiking on the famous GR20 trail, discovering the beautiful villages of Bastia, Bonifacio and Venzolasca (to name just a few!), canyoning in rivers and snorkelling in crystal-clear waters.
And for a gourmet touch, trust Corsican gastronomy to delight your taste buds. Brocciu cheese, fiadone, charcuterie and cheeses are to be enjoyed with both moderation and relish!
Pays de la Loire – for a magical seaside break
There’s nothing better for a seaside stay in September than the Atlantic coast and especially the Pays de la Loire. From the Vendée to the Loire-Atlantique, the wonders you’ll encounter along the way will make you fall even more in love with this beautiful region.
And what are these wonders? The island of Noirmoutier, the Passage du Gois (accessible only at low tide), Les Sables-d’Olonne, the salt marshes of Guérande and the bay of Pont-Mahé, to name just a few.
As for activities, you’ll be spoilt for choice: cycling, paddleboarding and surfing (yes, really!) in Assérac, or hiking in the national forests. In short, the Pays de la Loire region is the perfect blend of nature, activities and unforgettable memories!
Fewer people, a gentler climate, sublime scenery and 4 and 5 star campsites to make the most of the Indian summer – that’s what Veneto, Brittany, the Côte d’Azur, Corsica and all the other beautiful destinations we’ve suggested promise for your September getaway. And why not choose not just one, but several, to mix things up a bit?
