France is a huge and diverse country – so exactly where should you be looking to spend your holiday? We’ve put together the top regions in France that you simply have to visit!
Provence:
This is an extremely popular destination for people looking to rent holiday villas in France.
This region stretches from Orange right along to Nice – there are beaches and vineyards aplenty in this vibrant part of France, meaning there’s something for everyone. Public transport is particularly good in this part of the country and there’s a vast train network you can use to get from place to place.
Alternatively if you’re an explorer you may want to look into hiring a car or you can always use the local buses. Holidays in France don’t get much better than when you holiday in Provence!
Brittany:
Brittany’s coastline runs for over 700 miles along the Western edge of France. It backs onto the Atlantic Ocean which can be a little chilly during those winter months, but in the summer temperatures do tend to pick up. There’s plenty to do in Brittany, and there are many attractions on offer for children and adults of all ages. Getting to Brittany isn’t a challenge either – it’s a day’s journey in the car from the UK, or a short hop on a flight out of the UK.
