Holidays in France


France is the perfect destination for a short city-break, camping trip, a romantic getaway or a family holiday. In France, the choices are endless; you’re guaranteed to find your perfect trip. Accommodation ranges from luxury hotels, villas and spa resorts to alpine chalets and farmhouse cottages. If you’d prefer to get back to nature while on your holiday, camping in France is extremely popular and sites are generally of a high standard. Many of them have special facilities for young children, making them the perfect place to stay for a family holiday in France.

Skiing holidays in France are extremely popular, and for other equally adventurous holidays, try rock climbing in the Alps and the Pyrenees; horse riding in Burgundy; surfing in Biarritz; or rafting down the Gorge du Verdon in Provence. Or maybe you would prefer to… Discover Paris, the city of romance. Wander along the banks of the Seine, lunch in the Eiffel Tower and admire the Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame and the Louvre. The city features some of the finest boutique and five star hotels in the country, and is also a great place to visit while on a family holiday in France.




Visit the top wine estates and dine at fine restaurants on a tour of the great French gourmet regions of Provence or Burgundy. These regions are also amongst the best places to stay while camping in France. Take a trans-glacial ride on the world’s highest cable car in the town of Chamonix, situated in one of the most spectacular valleys of the French Alps. Visit in summer to admire the endless wild flowers and meadows, or winter to take advantage of the best slopes for a skiing holiday in France. Mingle with the rich and famous and admire the dazzling yachts in St. Tropez and watch the sunset as you dine in one of the many beach restaurants. Visit Napoleon’s birthplace in the cultural city of Ajaccio, and enjoy Corsica’s 600 miles of enchanting coastline.

Spring offers the best weather to visitors on holiday in France, with beach tourism picking up in May. Temperatures are pleasant in autumn, although the cold starts to make itself felt towards the end of the season, even along the Côte d’Azur. Winter means Skiing holidays in France’s Alps and Pyrenees, though the Christmas school holidays are very busy. Mid-July through to the end of August is when most of the French take their annual five weeks’ vacation and the half-desolate cities tend to shut down a bit accordingly, while the coasts and mountains can become especially busy.
