Budget Holidays in August: 9 Affordable Summer Getaways

Northwest of Marseille and well away from tourist crowds, the Med coastline is home to a necklace of charming, peaceful seaside villages backing calanques (coves) and azure seas. Base yourself at affordable ibis Martigues in magical Martigues – the “little Venice” of Provence – to stroll the enchanting Île district, the Miroir aux Oiseaux fishing port and quays lined with colourful houses. With waves gently lapping against traditional fishing boats, this tranquil setting inspired many early 20th-century artists.   In the afternoon, head to Plage de Ferrières for a refreshing dip in the sea and a glass of chilled rosé wine in one of its guinguette beach bars. While you’re in the area, you can also go snorkelling in the Calanque de Niolon or follow the Sentier du Lézard (Lizard Trail) shoreline walk between the laidback resorts of Carry-le-Rouet and Sausset-les-Pins – and if you’re happy to travel a little further afield, why not visit Nice for a day soaking up the sun on the city’s public beaches?
8 Budget European Holidays in July that Won't Break the Bank

When it comes to sunshine, you can’t go wrong with the South of France. Canet-en-Roussillon is a little seaside town near Perpignan. Never heard of it? That’s a good thing – neither have the throngs of tourists that flock to the big-name resorts. Grand Large beach is a huge stretch of golden sand that practically demands total relaxation, while the beachfront promenade is perfect for morning jogs and afternoon strolls. And if you fancy a change from contemplating the horizon, switch it up with a trip to the Canet-Saint-Nazaire Lagoon – it’s quieter, cooler and ideal for gentle lakeside walks.   July is all about night markets and street performances. The ibis Styles Perpignan Canet-en-Roussillon hotel makes the perfect base for an affordable holiday in July, with free parking, an outdoor pool and a gym. And if you want to explore the region, you can be in Perpignan in just 15 minutes.
