After booking your trip to the south of France, one of the next things on your mind for you to consider should be what you are going to take. It is never too early to beginning thinking of what you should take on holiday with you, as some things may need to be purchased as soon as possible. If travelling in a group, you may need to organise with other members of your party who is going to take what, so you don’t end up with several of the same things.
So, whether you’ve travelled to the south of France before, or if this is your first time visiting the area, here is a rough guide of what you should take with you to get you inspired.
The Essentials
For your essentials, you need to think about objects that you would carry with you day-to-day; this can include your phone charger and wallet. Next, make sure you have all your travel documents that you may need in order to ensure that you can actually reach your destination. Making sure that you pack all of these first will mean that you can be sure that you have all the necessities with you.
– Your keys
– Wallet
– ID/passport
– Boarding Pass
– Cash
– Foreign currency
– Travel Documents
– Credit/debit cards
Technology
In terms of the technological items you wish to take with you, it’s always best to take the bare minimum to avoid damage or loss. However, a phone and a charger should be top of the list in terms of things that you should take with you. A phone can double as a map and can also allow you to contact people to check in. If you’re planning on taking a phone, we would recommend a portable charger to make sure that you don’t run out of battery when you need it the most.
For some, a camera is a vital part of their travelling kit. If you relate to this, make sure you pack extra batteries so you can document the whole trip.
– Portable charger
– Phone charger
– Travel adapter
– Camera
– Extra camera batteries
– Camera battery charger
– A kindle
– Headphones
Toiletries
Toiletries are one of the most important things to make sure that you have packed for your trip, but be sure to pack within the guidelines if you are flying to your destination in order to prevent having to throw items away! It is easy to over pack toiletries for every occasion, so it is best to write or reference a list of things that you would regularly use in order to make sure you’re not filling valuable space with unneeded items! Below, we have included a draft list of things that you might like to consider:
– Shampoo
– Conditioner
– Hair brush
– Toothpaste
– Toothbrush
– Deoderant
– Face wipes
– Razor
– Lip balm
– Moisturiser
– Medication
– Suncream
– Insect Spray
– Hand Sanitiser
Accessories
When it comes to packing clothing and accessories, it can be easy to go overboard with things that you think you might need when, in reality, you know you won’t use. Therefore, it is best to first pack the essential accessories before beginning to pack any optional extras.
– Sunglasses
– A sunhat or cap
– A light scarf
– Travel pillow
– Earplugs
– Eyemask
– Tissues
Clothing
For your trip to the south of France, what clothing you pack depends on the time of the year and the location of the destination. Due to it being situated closer to the equator, the south of France is the warmest place in the country and boasts a mild climate for most of the year. Typically, if you were to visit Cannes in October, you could hope to expect a temperature of around 16°C. After taking the temperature and weather conditions into consideration, it is up to you to decide what sort of clothing you would like to pack, but here is a guide to packing clothing year round.
– Underwear
– Socks
– Pyjamas
– Long Sleeve Tops
