France

France
• captivating landscapes
• family-run hotels offering excellent regional cuisine
• walking, cycling, short breaks, self-catering properties and family holidays

France’s varied and highly individual landscapes range from the snow-capped Alps to the fertile, gently rolling hills of Gascony, and from the Mediterranean scenery of Provence to the green valleys and rugged mountains of the Atlantic Pyrenees and Auvergne. In the heart of France, the great rivers – Dordogne, Garonne, Loire, Aveyron, Lot and Tarn – meander past medieval villages, fields of sunflowers and hill-top châteaux. Not only is this a land of great culinary traditions, the most renowned of which are those of Burgundy, but it is also a land steeped in history, whose every monument has a story to tell, from the seemingly inaccessible and mystical Cathar fortresses in the Corbières to the menhirs and dolmens scattered across Brittany or the vestiges of Charente Maritime's naval power. Just as inviting as the landscapes themselves are the ways in which you can enjoy them: as well as offering walking, cycling and family activity holidays, we also offer short breaks and self-catering properties for more leisurely exploration of this captivating land.
