France

France is a great destination for activity holidays and, travelling at your own pace - choose from walking in France, cycling in France or canoeing in France - you have the opportunity to uncover more of this fascinating country than you ever could on an ordinary holiday.

Walking and cycling in France

Whatever you want from your activity holiday, France will provide it and much more besides! In the north your choices include Brittany and Poitou Charentes - both beautifully unspoilt regions and full of variety. The Loire, famous for its wide open countryside and wealth of magnificent chateaux, Burgundy, with its wonderful cuisine and world-famous wines, and the flower decked villages of Alsace are just a few of the regions you can visit on your activity holiday. In the French Alps we offer challenging walking with real Alpine adventure.

Southern France too is full of interest-packed places just waiting to be explored - from the prehistoric sites and fairytale chateaux of the Dordogne, to the ancient villages and sleepy squares of traditional villages of Provence, to the spectacular mountain vistas of the Pyrenees. Then there's the Lot, Tarn and Aveyron, a relatively unknown region, but packed full of historic interest and stunning scenery. Whatever you want from your activity holiday, France ticks all the boxes!
