France Travel Guide

Posts Tagged ‘Offering’

France is an ideal holiday destination for every type of traveller – from those seeking culture and sights in big cities, to anyone interested in the more serene surroundings of the French countryside. But no matter where you fit in among the vast variety of holidaymakers, you’ll certainly want to experience the country to its fullest extent. Driving enables you to do just that, extending opportunities to see more and travel at your leisure.

For instance, you’ll have the freedom to cover a larger range of sights without having to depend on public transportation or expensive taxis. You’ll also have the freedom to set your own pace of travel, as well as the flexibility to factor in any last minute changes with ease. And because you’ll save so much time getting from place to place, you can do even more!

Beach-lovers can explore the stunning coastline of the Cote d’Azur or the sparkling emerald waters of Brittany’s coastline, while thrill-seekers and outdoor enthusiasts will want to visit the world-famous ski slopes and resorts in the Alps. And if you’re keen to experience France’s culinary treats, you’ll have much to look forward to. Travel to the region of Brie, where you’ll have the opportunity to taste the area’s most famous offering – Brie cheese! Or visit the wineries in Bordeaux or Alsace – the latter being particularly famous for its white wines – or the historic vineyards of Champagne. And, if you’re keen to enjoy the stunning French countryside, you won’t want to miss a drive alongside the beautiful lavender fields of Provence.

Aside from facilitating widespread travel in France, taking the car on holiday will also ensure your comfort: you’ll be able to stop whenever you please – which can be particularly advantageous if you’re travelling with children. However, it might work out cheaper to catch a cheap flight to your destination and then hire a car in France upon arrival. Moreover, car hire companies usually offer vehicles of all sizes; so whether you’re travelling as a couple or as a large family, you can count on a comfortable driving experience.

If you’re planning a trip to France you’ll find a number of car hire agents conveniently located in all parts of the country – from city airports and train stations to smaller towns. So no matter which part of France you’re planning to visit, you can count on a means of transport that will help you experience the country to its fullest!

Just a hop over the channel, France is the ideal destination for a family holiday for Brits. Even with the poor exchange rate we are currently suffering from, a short trip to France is infinitely more affordable than a couple of weeks in the Maldives and you won’t need any of the painful and costly vaccinations.

France has lots to offer the family. Children are catered for just as much as the adults. Many resorts offer kids clubs to keep children occupied, allowing you and your partner time to enjoy each others company in peace for a few hours.

Kids clubs allow your children to meet other kids, play sports and games, even get a bit of education with many of the French speaking staff. You never know, your son could come back as the next Gerard Depardieu.

There are kids clubs in France specialising in all age groups so no matter what age your kids are they are sure to find a club that is right for them and other kids to socialise with.

If you would rather not palm them off and want to spend your time on holiday with the kids in tow, then France is even better. Why not rent a car and explore the French coast line, mountains or countryside. Take a spin around some of the wineries dotted throughout the country, rent some bikes and take in the fresh air while getting some much needed exercise, rent a boat for a spot of waterskiing or banana boating. The list is endless. If you’ve thought it, then you can probably do it in France. Except maybe for that one thing that meatloaf sang about.

There is a wide spectrum of accommodation for family holidays in France so no matter what your budget there is a holiday out there for you. You could stay in one of the luxurious and cheap campsites. These campsites are hugely popular with British, German, French and other European families making them friendly and safe. On site there are usually Restaurants, Bars, Pools, games rooms and sports facilities, such as tennis courts, volleyball courts, football pitches, table tennis tables and much more, offering entertainment for the whole family.

If you don’t fancy camping, then you may want to check out one of the many country club resorts scattered across the country. These operate much the same as the campsites, with the notable difference being that you stay in bungalows or houses rather than tents. There tend to be 3 or 4 houses to a pool so you don’t end up shoulder to shoulder with other holiday makers trying to cool off from the hot summer sun.

A number of these country club resorts feature golf clubs, perfect for a relaxing round of golf. The kids and wife don’t like golf? Well the kids can go into the kids club and the wife can relax by the pool. Problem fixed.

What are you waiting for? Go and book your French family holiday! Have you done it yet? Yes? I thought so!
