It's obvious why France attracts more tourists than any other country, and while many of them head for the sun-drenched beaches and iconic resorts along the French Riviera, it's worth remembering that France is much more than the Mediterranean. Explore the cultural heart of Europe, stretching all the way from the majestic Alps, down across the colourful lavender fields of Provence to the azure waves of the Mediterranean. With over 2500 villas in France we have holiday homes to cater for everyone.
In fact, if you look beyond the blue of the Mediterranean, an alternative array of authentic - and often overlooked - experiences reveals itself across France's distinctive regions. Lose yourself in colourful Provence, dine on local specialities in Alsace and Lorraine, delve into history in Normandy and Brittany or jump into (or onto) the rough waves of the Atlantic in Nouvelle-Aquitaine. The only question is whether to holiday in France in swimming shorts, a wetsuit or hiking boots. With its culinary and cultural metropolises, impressive medieval towns and relaxing Mediterranean atmosphere, it's easy to see why France attracts more holidaymakers than any other country every year.Â
For those who enjoy getting away from the rush of large, cosmopolitan cities whilst self-catering in France, why not retreat to the idyllic countryside?  Discover the impressive Pyrenees, or Aquitaine dotted with beautiful rural villages and world-renowned vineyards. Alternatively you could enjoy a wonderful stay at one of our holiday homes in the Loire Valley and visit France’s most memorable castles. Indulge your senses with a visit to the world-class vineyards of Languedoc.
With various ferry connections and the Eurotunnel from the UK, you will find yourself on the French beaches in record time. With plenty of activities and sights that will appeal to people of all ages, your family holiday in France could involve the historical theme park Puy du Fou in the Vendée, multi-media theme park, Futuroscope, near Poitiers, forest climbing in the Ecrins National Park, or simply swimming at the seaside.Â
