TAGS: HONEYMOON

Big cities aren't normally big honeymoon destinations. Then again, surfing and vineyards aren't activities you can squeeze in before dinner in most big cities. If you're the kind of urban vacationer who gets restless after more than two days of sunbathing, San Francisco offers world-class culture, shopping and food, but also easy access to beaches, the wine country, and other escapes from the city heat.

Great news! If it's a luxurious french honeymoon you're after, more and more options are opening up on the Southern Coast of France.

With sun, surf and unspoiled national parks, Cassis is the perfect honeymoon spot for smart brides who want all the perks without the exorbitant prices.
