Holidays in France can be all things to everyone. That's because this vast country is as rich in colours, textures and flavours as the sauces it loves to lavish on its famous cuisine.

From romantic Paris to the rolling vineyards of Champagne and vast beaches of Brittany through to the sun-drenched fields of the Loire, glamorous French Riviera and to-die-for Corsica, travelling to France promises to tantalise and tickle your holiday tastebuds like nowhere else. Breakfast with steaming coffee and flaky, freshly baked croissants in the sun.

Golden beaches, crisp blue water with entertainment galore the choice of beach resorts is endless.

Sip a classic Burgundy on a traditional village square as the locals clink boules under a shade-giving plane tree. Or inhale the spectacular mountainscapes, maquis-scented hills and snow-white beaches of magical Corsica.

And just as holidays in France offer up countless landscapes and culinary treats, so they present a kaleidoscope of sightseeing and culture. Fortified hill towns and spellbinding historic cities. Soaring cathedrals and medieval, market-filled hamlets.
