French Riviera

A Week Abroad is a collection of travel books to help you live a week like a local. Exceptional local products, tasty hidden restaurants, traditional crafts or natural treasures, discover the addresses that your friends from all around the world could have given you. 

The French Riviera is undoubtedly the most caricatured destination in France; and that's precisely what made Charlène — founder of A Week Abroad and originally from Marseille — want to tell its story differently. Far from yachts and glitter, this edition gives the floor to seven personalities rooted in this land: Isabelle Maeght (Maeght Foundation), Guillaume Lanier (florist), Olivia Cognet (sculptor-designer), Adrien Gannac (citrus grower), Antoine Pierini (master glassmaker), Gwendolyn Berger (winemaker) and Gilles Traverso (photographer). They all share the same desire to keep alive a heritage that is greater than themselves and to pass it on.

Find 145 pages of interviews and addresses, as well as a detachable illustrated map that will accompany you everywhere to live a week like a local.

A committed book and travel guide to travel differently and support local and independent economies.
