This list of flight options should be used as a guide only, and you should check each airline’s website for current routes, frequency and schedules. Not all flights operate daily, and may not run for the entire season. You should also heed the latest flight arrival time and earliest flight departure time, as it may not be possible to arrange connecting travel outside these times. Please do not book your flights until we have confirmed your accommodation to you. Alternatively, our expert reservations team will be happy to offer advice and to make flight bookings for you. We charge £30 per person for our flight booking service (£50 for India & Nepal). Your flights are then covered by our package-booking conditions, which give you greater protection in the event of delay or cancellation, as well as providing ATOL cover.

If you've experienced this holiday first hand, why not write a review?
We are keen for as many customers as possible to review their holiday. To make it easier to do so, we include a specific review section on our post-holiday questionnaire, and this is what we publish here, unedited. Read our full review policy >
The walking tour instructions were very good. The canal trip in Carcassonne was excellent, together with the walk along the Gardon Gorge and the Pont du Gard. All the hotels were well situated.
The key highlights were the opportunities to see and enjoy different aspects of French life, from the busy cities of Bordeaux and Nice, to the splendours of Avignon and the Pont du Gard. Everyone we met was very welcoming and tolerant of the quality of our O Level French skills, whether when ordering drinks and meals or visiting places of interest. All in all a holiday that delivered exactly what we hoped for and more.
As an overall holiday it was a delight. At 84 and 78 years of age we wondered if it would be too frantic but it wasn't. Inntravel warned us not to walk from the station to the old city of Carcassonne but to take a taxi or a bus. As there were none we decided to walk. It was tough but doable! We upgraded rooms in hotels which were well-worth it and we went first class by train which was also a good thing to do. Because the hotels were so central it was so easy to walk everywhere and we found restaurants and cafes ourselves rather than trying anything recommended.

The changing colours and vistas from the spotless train window as we snaked along the Med were worth the price of the trip.
