Paris is beautiful and has such a rich history. Bordeaux is not overrun with tourists, there are locals everywhere. Lyon is known as the capital of gastronomy.

Saint Tropez is a nice place, but in summer it is very expensive, crowded, and beside famous people and yacht, it's just a small village.

Budget
The most expensive factor was the journey by train. If I recall correctly it was about 300€ per person. We paid about 150€ each for the camp site. For food we sometimes ate pizza but mostly went to the local supermarket
Accommodation
I shared a tent with two friends. The atmosphere was were relaxed and we made lots of friends during our stay. I must say that there happened one unfortunate coincidence that made me feel less secure than before. I recommend not wandering from the beach to the camp site (~300m) alone at night. But my overall experience was great!
Things to Do
We went to see local villages and markets, and got to see Bordeaux and Paris on or journey
Food
Most food we ate was self cooked. We mostly ate Baguette and pasta and put a spin on it with different sauces or spreads everyday. We didn’t really experience real french food but I liked our cooking
Safety
As I previously said, one shouldn’t wander around the beach or the forrest alone at night but other than that it’s super safe, I didn’t notice any stealing and there is security service
Recommendations
I always felt very safe on the journey and apart from very little incidents there wasn’t anything to worry about (of course one needs to be careful always)
