France tailor-made holidays
France holiday experts at WEXAS will tailor-make all aspects of your itinerary to create a France holiday, personal to you.
France is renowned as the nation for good food and fine wines, the capital of fashion, a leader in the art world, and the modern-day home of philosophy. Any France holiday will remind you of this, though a short-break in Paris and other major cities will obviously give you the greatest range of cultural activities to explore and trendy nightlife to revel in.
Holidaying around France there’s much to see, including Roman civilisations dotted about the country, impressive chateaux in the Loire Valley, balmy resorts – with Nice and St Tropez the most luxurious – along the Mediterranean coast, mountain villages in the Alps and Pyrenees, Provence’s hilltop towns, the beaches of Normandy and battlefields at the Somme and Verdun, the medieval fortress at Carcassonne, and the classic French landmark of Mont-St-Michel. So much, in fact, that a holiday here every year would still leave much unexplored.

France tailor-made holiday highlights
ParisCaptivating and full of romance, this cultural centre is one of the world's great cities. Lining the banks of the River Seine, cosmopolitan Paris is characterised by breezy boulevards, charming cafes and restaurants selling French gastronomic fare. It is also brimming with art, museums and world-renowned landmarks, including Notre Dame Cathedral, the Arc de Triomphe and the dizzying Eiffel Tower.
Provence-Alpes Côte d'Azur region
Sweeping lavender and sunflower fields and charming historical towns, such as Aix-en-Provence (the home of artist Paul Cezanne) and Avignon in Provence; chic coastal resorts, including St Tropez and Cannes, along the beautiful Côte d'Azur; and some of the best skiing and hiking in Europe in the region around Mont Blanc in the glorious Alps.
The Loire World
Heritage region famous for its many lavish châteaux, set in picturesque towns such as Blois, Tours and Amboise. The area is also known for the super-charged atmosphere of the Le Mans 24 Hour Race each summer.
Normandy
Rolling countryside on the Channel coast, scene of the World War II beach landings, and the pretty abbey island of Mont St-Michel. Inland, explore historic Rouen and Caen, or take a trip to Bayeux to view the famous tapestry.
Aquitaine
One of the most fascinating and diverse regions in France. Highlights include the urban and culinary delights of Bordeaux and the surfing delights of Biarritz. In fact there's 250 km of Atlantic cvoastline here, with Europe's largest sand dune at 104-metres high, and the Bay of Arcachon, an inland sea fed both by the ocean and a number of inland waterways. Away from the coast, the Lascaux Caves contain some of the earliest known Paleolithic paintings, and the pretty towns of Périgueux in the Dordogne and Cyrano in Bergerac are full of medieval charm.
Canals du Midi et Garonne
Chartering a barge is a delightful and romantic way of getting from the Atlantic to the Meditteranean, via some of the best scenery in France.
