Holidays to France tick off upscale boutiques, relaxed cafés and chilled-out beaches, alongside a world-class dining scene.
Few cities rival Paris with its cosy cafés, waterways – most notably the Seine – and of course the ever-present view of the Eiffel Tower, which is easily the world’s most iconic structure. Bordeaux, meanwhile, pairs all-night coffee shops with UNESCO-listed and Neoclassical architecture. Over in Nice, you get textbook beaches and a look at the country’s glamorous past.
France has enough coastline to keep beachgoers busy for a long time. Better yet, no two beaches are alike. In the south is where you’ll find the most sought-after supply, particularly along the French Riviera. There’s something to suit all tastes, as well. Whether you want to see and be seen, snooze on a deluxe daybed, and watch multi-million-euro yachts bobbing offshore, or track down a secluded stretch you can have all to yourself.
Credited for both the Michelin Guide and the macaroon, France is proud of its culinary achievements. It’s here you’ll find many of the world’s best wine-producing regions, too – from Bordeaux to Champagne. The country also invented the baguette and turns out around 1,000 different types of cheese to go with it. No matter which part of France you choose, you’re guaranteed to not go hungry.
The French Alps have loads in store even after the ski season ends, and during the summer it’s the place to be for mountain-top walks, river rafting and enjoying panoramic views from the peaks. In Chamonix, hop aboard the iconic red Montenvers cog railway to see the Mer de Glace glacier. Or take the Aiguille du Midi cable car to the summit to look out over Mont Blanc and the rest of the Alps – on a clear day you can even spot the Matterhorn mountain.
