Self Catering Accommodation France
France is the most visited country in the world and as our nearest neighbour we use every means possible to get there. Only 26 miles away at its shortest point across, France is popular whether the weather is below freezing on the Alpine slopes or around 30C in the sunshine of the south.
Flights to France are rarely more than 90 minutes from UK airports and there is more choice than ever before in the number of services heading there. No-frills airlines have opened up many regions that would have remained off the beaten track and there are more cheaper, options from the scheduled carriers as a result. By ferry the short Channel route takes only a few hours while the western Channel ships offer the luxury required for an overnight voyage. For the underground option 35 minutes sees Eurotunnel’s vehicle shuttle trains safely through the Channel Tunnel as do Eurostar’s high-speed trains which link to France’s even-faster TGV network.
Holiday Cottage France
The sunny south of Provence and Cote d’Azur combine sun and snow and are among the most popular destinations for holidays in France. The beaches of Antibes, Cannes, Nice, and Juan les Pins give a diffeent insight into holidays in France, they may be trodden by the rich but are equally welcoming to families on a budget. Barely 50 kilometres away in the Alps Maritime one can be hiking, mountain biking and rock climbing which will make sure your holiday in France is set amongst spectacular scenery.
Holidays In France
Aquitaine’s top resorts for holidays in France, Biarritz and Bayonne, share the general year-round warmth that Mediterranean France offers along with diving, snorkelling, sailing and, at chic Biarritz, surfing. Popular golf destinations are in the Loire Valley, Burgundy and Pas de Calais, with the game not massively favoured by the French the courses tend to be relaxed and uncrowded.
On the Atlantic coast Brittany offers a slightly different holiday in France, its rugged and rocky but interspersed with fine beaches, such as Val Andre, Etables, St Quay and Perros-Guirec. Similarly the Normandy coast has many coves and inlets for families to explore but best-known would be the wide sands of Mont Saint Michel with its impressive fortress out in the bay. Commemorating Normandy’s war past are the Bayeux Museum with its Battle of Hastings tapestry and museums at Arromanches and Caen commemorating the D-Day Landings
Sights such as the l’Arc de Triomphe, Eiffel Tower, the Louvre gallery and the River Seine have made Paris the most visited European capital and the most popular choice for a holiday in Farnce ,but they represent only a handful of ways to enjoy the city. It boasts something for everyone with variety such as Disneyland Paris and many local markets.
French cuisine is revered worldwide and travellers through France can sample many tasty regional variations with some of the world’s best-known wines. But one of the great treats is to join the café society, adopt the relaxed Gallic way and, with a coffee, good wine or fine food in front of you, watch life go by from the pavement cafes.
