Luxury France Holidays

There is no place quite like France for history, gastronomy, and glamour.  A luxury France holiday is the ideal place to discover everything this wonderful destination has to offer.

CHIC BEACH RETREATS, MEDIEVAL VILLAGES AND CITY SOPHISTICATION

A luxury holiday to France can take you from the ultra-glitzy beaches of the Cote d’Azur to the rolling green hills and fragrant lavender fields of Provence, with plenty in between.

The glorious Vendée coast promises over 200km of Blue Flag awarded beaches that you can enjoy in-between visits to charming local fishing villages and beautiful old towns, while the Aquitaine Coast sparkles with style and a faster pace of life. Catch a wave in beautiful Biarritz, feast on impeccable local cuisine, and enjoy a taste of the high life.  The much sleepier but undeniably beautiful Dordogne region is steeped in history and dotted with stunning chateaux and pretty towns.

City life in France simply has to include a visit to Paris, the capital of French style, fashion, and some of the world’s most recognisable sights.  Climb the iconic Eiffel Tower for a sunset view across the city before enjoying a Michelin starred meal in one of the capital’s celebrated restaurants, wander through the quaint streets of Paris’s old quarters where the cobbled streets, local boutiques, and bookshops give a glimpse into the city’s medieval past.  The landmarks are endless, Notre Dame, the Louvre, a cruise along the Seine – wander at leisure or book a guided tour to ensure nothing is missed. Elsewhere in Paris, you can experience the magic of fairy tales at Disneyworld Paris which is perfect for a shorter visit or as part of a longer family holiday.

Deciding how to spend your luxury holiday to France is a tricky process, but our expert team can create the perfect itinerary or source you the ideal accommodation from a grand secluded French villa, a grand Chateau, or an indulgent spa retreat – the choice as always, is yours.
