Holidays in France

The topography of France offers a very diverse range of settings to meet the needs of tourists looking for holidays in France.

There are sun-drenched sandy beaches of the Cote d'Azur Riviera, fishing and ornitholigists heaven at Lac du Der-Chantecoq in the Champagne-Ardenne, hang gliding and paragliding in the Auvergne, and ski holidays in the Rhone-Alpes in winter.

There are of course also numerous magnificent ancient chateau, castles and cathedrals; small, delightfully pretty, villages ; canals and waterways for boating enthusiasts; wooded hills and plains, ideal for walking, horse-riding and so much more. If your picture of a French holiday is somewhat more relaxed, then consider the Limousin or Picardie regions, away from the holiday crowds alternatively you can opt for activity holidays, walking or cycling, that will take you away from the main roads and through the byways of the French countryside.

The most visited region is of course, Ile-de-France and in particular Paris,known as the Romantic City for good reason. Once settled in your Paris hotels, take a dinner cruise on the Seine, or a dinner and show at the famous Moulin Rouge. Make the booking before you go to avoid disappointment. Be sure to see our Paris page for details.

On these pages you will find all the holiday homes, apartments, hotels, holiday villages and camping parcs to suit your requirements whether you be holidaying on your own, as a group or simply with your dog.

If you enjoy fishing you might select a holiday home near a lake or why not taste the highlife with a holiday in a French castle or chateau?
