Kotor, Montenegro

Kotor is one of the most beautiful fortified cities in Montenegro, and Lonely Planet declared it the best city to visit in the whole world. Unlike popular Croatia, Kotor is not overrun with tourists.

The city, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage List, was built between the 12th and 14th centuries, and visitors can lose hours and hours wandering its streets. Climb the 1,300 steps to the fortress of St. Ivana from where there is a spectacular view of the Bay of Kotor and the Old Town.

Then you can go to lunch in the port and enjoy the view of the bay. A good choice is the Galion restaurant, and you can stay at the Astoria boutique hotel, in the very heart of the old town, inside a 13th-century palace.

Although the Languedoc-Roussillon coast is not as frequent a destination as, for example, the Cote d'Azur, it has a lot to offer, and the crowds are less even in the peak season. Montpellier, a medieval city founded around 1200, is an excellent base from which to visit the entire area. You can stay at the Hotel Richer de Belleval, a private villa from the 17th century in the heart of the city. For those with a slightly bigger budget, there is the family-run Hotel du Palais with 26 rooms and a terrace.

Montpellier is a gastronomic paradise. Even the simplest cafes offer quality food. Among the best high-end restaurants are Le Petit Jardin with an interior garden and the Purcell brothers' La Canourgue at the Hotel Richer. Chez Canaille has a lovely terrace where you can enjoy a casual meal and La Coquille offers fantastic seafood.

Culture lovers will enjoy the Fabre museum, where they can see European works from the Renaissance to the present day, as well as an entire wing of the museum dedicated to the contemporary artist Pierre Soulage.

If you're planning to go to Montpellier during the summer, the annual Radio France Music Festival brings the best international artists and organizes hundreds of concerts of classical music, opera, jazz or DJ music - mostly free.
