The sun, the sea, and a small change of scenery are often necessary during the summer. However, sometimes for budget reasons or constraints related to holiday dates, it is not always possible to leave for a week or two during the summer period. However, this does not mean that you have to deprive yourself of a short trip by the sea or the ocean! Some destinations are accessible and affordable for a weekend. Here are three, in France and elsewhere, that can inspire you and make you want a change of scenery, even if you have a small budget and little time in front of you.
Have you thought about La Rochelle?
Located in Charente-Maritime, the city of La Rochelle is located in the Bay of Biscay. This beautiful port city offers you the opportunity to enjoy the sea, but also many visits. Its three towers, remains of a destroyed castle, are to be seen. Nature lovers can also enjoy many getaways, while foodies have plenty to do with local specialties! For a weekend or more, La Rochelle is therefore a beautiful getaway to discover for two or family, and you can easily find accessible accommodation, adapted to your needs and your budget.
La Rochelle is a city that has recently joined the destinations accessible by OUIGO train. This represents an opportunity to get there without spending too much money, including during the summer. And there are still tickets for the whole season!

Marseille, beaches and creeks at the rendezvous
Another port city, this time located in the south of the France, Marseille has very beautiful things to offer to those who try the adventure. The Calanques National Park, the old port, the Notre-Dame de la Garde basilica, the Château d'If, the Frioul Islands, the Velodrome stadium... There's plenty to keep you busy for a whole weekend, and even more! In addition, the hotel offer is very vast and it allows everyone to find their way financially. Do not leave Marseille until you have tasted an authentic bouillabaisse and tried the famous aioli. Pastis is to be consumed in moderation!
Here too, you can opt for an OUIGO train to get to Marseille from different stations. If your preference is for the "traditional" train, then SNCF also offers regular trips to the city.
