Head to France in July and its guaranteed sunshine, and the beauty is its all so close. Treat yourselves to a first class Eurostar journey to Paris or catch a quick two-hour flight to the south of France. In July, the boulevards of Paris glimmer as locals prepare for their August holidays and the street cafes are buzzing. Wander round the Louvre or head the swanky shops along rue Saint Honore.
Paris is filled with the most amazing hotels for honeymooners. Top of the list are the wonderful Four Seasons George V and the Hotel Plaza Athenee. For something funkier, head to Hotel Costes or Murano Urban Resort. When it comes to honeymoon style, where better to head than the Cote D’Azur? Book early if you want to stay in St Tropez as this is when the a-listers turn up, think Posh and Becks, Bono and Naomi Campbell.
The Byblos Hotel captures the glamour of the place with its Spoon Byblos restaurant and Caves du Roy nightclub. If you fancy something more laid back, head across the bay to the Beauvallon Hotel or hire a villa away from the coast towards Provence.
