Holidays to France

France prides itself on its gastronomical offering so wherever you go, expect to wake up to the smell of fresh bakes for breakfast, before choosing from delicacies like ratatouille or coq-au-vin, not forgetting frogs legs or snails, for other mealtimes. Finish off with a delicate dessert and wash it all down with a glass or two of full-bodied locally sourced red wine.

Prepare to be seduced by the iconic architecture of the Cathedral of Notre Dame or the Le Corbusier's Unite d'Habitation, or venture indoors to museums to see works of art by Renaissance artist, Leonardo da Vinci or world-famous sculpture and painter, Auguste Rodin.

Swap the sun for snow and hit the slopes in the French Alps and the Pyrenees where you'll find family-friendly resorts with pistes to suit all skiing and snowboarding abilities, a bustling village to host all your après antics, or a quaint alpine retreat surrounded by awe-inspiring natural landscapes.
