Holidays in France
Special Offers
Holidays in France take you to Paris' latticework Eiffel Tower, the château-speckled vineyards of Bordeaux and the Côte d'Azur's sandy coves, lapped by the Mediterranean. Dip into different regions on your holidays in France to meet locals that are culture-mad, image conscious and passionate about food.
Holidays in France: regions
You'll find that each of France's 22 regions has a distinct personality: from the Loire Valley's silver-turreted castles in the west to Provence's fragrant lavender fields down south. For the ultimate winter holiday in France, go east to the snow-dusted French Alps. In summer, edge north to Normandy's rugged coastline or south to the ritzy Côte d'Azur for a relaxing beach holiday in France.
City holidays in France
There's more to holidays in France than Paris' stellar art collections and gothic Notre-Dame Cathedral. Venture south to Lyon's Renaissance Old Town, a UNESCO heritage site, or Spanish-influenced Toulouse. Take in a cultural holiday in France with a visit to Lille's world class Fine Arts Museum or stroll the Strasbourg's medieval lanes lined with crooked houses.
Outdoor holidays in France
Château-hop in the undulating Loire Valley or whoosh down the slopes of the French Alps on a fun filled France Holiday. Wander Provence's olive groves and flower-strewn meadows, or bathe in translucent waters on the Côte d'Azur on your holidays in France. Choose windswept Brittany for bracing coastal walks and Biarritz for catching Atlantic waves.
Foodie holidays in France
If you're mad about food, a holiday in France means grazing each region for local flavours. Eat bouillabaisse (fish stew) in Marseille, choucroute (sauerkraut and pork) in Strasbourg and fresh mussels in Brittany. Take home Provence olive oil, Bordeaux wines and Normandy's creamy Camembert for a lingering taste of your holiday in France.
