Sarah Michelle Gellar is among the celebrities embracing a "Euro summer," sharing a series of bikini photos from her vacation in the South of France. The 49-year-old actress spent time on the water, explored the Calanques near Cassis, and visited the renowned motorsports track Circuit Paul Ricard in Le Castellet.

Gellar captioned her Instagram post, "Calanques, Cassis and @circuitpaulricard," highlighting the scenic Mediterranean backdrop of her getaway. She was seen wearing a black bikini with white floral detailing and a coordinating swim skirt, accessorized with a delicate necklace and stacked bracelets. One photo captured her climbing back aboard a boat after swimming in the Mediterranean.

The trip follows Gellar's reflections earlier this year on beauty and aging in the public eye. During a January appearance on the "Gloss Angeles" podcast, she acknowledged the challenges of growing older amid cosmetic procedures and filtered images, saying, "I am constantly compared to my younger self because it’s so easy to pull up a picture from my 20s or my 30s and, you know, how has she changed?"

She added, "And in some ways, it, I think, puts a little bit of extra added pressure. And in other ways, it also reminds me I don’t want to be that person anymore. Like I like who I am now. And that’s okay."

Gellar's vacation photos join a trend of celebrities showcasing their summer getaways, including figures like Kim Kardashian and Nina Dobrev.
