Surrounded by both land and sea, France is one of
the largest countries situated in Western Europe. On land it borders
several European countries including Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany
to the north, Switzerland and Italy to the East and Spain in the
South. For the holiday maker in particular there are stunning beaches
and magnificent scenery to see and in addition to its history, architecture,
culture, fine wines and food. If you like a hot climate the South
of France is a very popular destination. Holiday accommodation in
any town or city is usually available, however, you may have to book
early for the middle of July to the middle of August because many
of the French population take their holidays at this time of year.
France is divided into many regions all of which have something
to offer for the tourist. Normandy provides an attractive entry
point from England via the cross-channel cross ferries for holidaymakers
either staying in the area or heading further west to the rocky
coasts of Brittany. Self catering holidays in the form of Gites
and camping sites are very popular types of holidays in these
areas. Further south is the Pyrenees Mountains ideally suited
for the
energetic who enjoy activity holidays such as hiking holidays
in the summer and skiing in the winter. If you prefer hot sunshine,
the Riviera coastline of the Cote d’Azur is hugely popular
and offers holidays to suit every pocket including, camping, hotels,
self catering apartments and short breaks. In the south east of
the country lies the Alps which are as popular in the summer for
activity holidays as they are in the winter months for Skiing Holidays.
Paris is the capital of France and perhaps one of the most stylish
and glamorous cities in Europe. Paris will captivate you with
its restaurants, cafes, architecture and the places to see
such as
the world famous Champs-Elysees, Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre,
and the Eiffel Tower tourist attractions. Nowadays Paris is
very popular
for people wishing to have a short break or city break holidays
of 2 to 3 days. Hotel accommodation is relatively inexpensive
and there are also numerous hostels for those on a very small
budget.

visitors and our guide will assist you in finding the right hotel,

nature then you can ski, cycle at your leisure or just enjoy
