France Holidays


europe
France holidays offer so much to discover; a land of romantic cities, charming coastal villages with beautiful beaches and of course delicious food and wine.

From iconic landmarks and world class art to the glamour and stunning coastal scenery of the French Riviera, France boasts a delightful mix of destinations, while the laidback lifestyle serves as the perfect backdrop to unwind and lose yourself in local towns, markets and laneways.

The more dramatic scenery of the Alps and Pyrenees offers up picture perfect trails to explore on a walking or cycling holiday in France. Explore a range of guided group tours from trekking in the Pyrenees and cycling in the Loire Valley, to embarking on the classic Tour du Mont Blanc or winding your way through Burgundy, stopping at picturesque wineries en route.

Trailfinders offers a range of France holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want advice on how to combine a Paris city break with a villa holiday in Provence or a no fly holiday to Brittany - they are the perfect people to ask.

HOW TO GET AROUND FRANCE

Just a short hop from the UK and Ireland by flight, ferry or the Eurostar, and with excellent transport links, France is a perfect destination to be explored by car or rail. Follow one of our classic fly drive holidays or no fly holidays or ask our expert travel consultants to tailormake your perfect France holiday.

Fly to Nice to discover the French Riviera before heading to Provence by car, or if you’d rather not drive, why not join a sociable guided group tour? Alternatively, board a ferry to Brittany, taking your own vehicle to explore at leisure.

France Top Tips From Our Travel Experts

Beautiful Epernay is home to some of the worlds most celebrated Champagne houses - Moet et Chandon and Pol Roger to name just a few. The cellar tours at Moet are very popular so book early - afterwards take a stroll down Avenue de Champagne where many smaller houses open their courtyards for reasonably priced tastings.

If transiting Paris on a rail journey and departing from Gare de Lyon, consider scheduling time for a lovely lunch in the grand and historic Le Train Bleu restaurant at the station. Opened in 1901, it is a magnificent gilded room with intricate carvings and beautiful paintings.

Bordeaux is one of my all-time favourite European cities with so much to offer! Explore the city centre by bike, watch the world go by from a quaint side-street café or head out to one of the nearby vineyards for some world-class wine tasting.
