Luxury Holidays
in France

This diverse country offers a glittering array of holiday options and you may find yourself spoilt for choice...

France is certainly rich in history and no place more so than Paris itself which is home to famous architectural landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, Arc d’Triomphe, Palace of Versailles and The Louvre - one of the world‘s most famous art galleries. Expert local guides can guide you through the city and bring the legends, literature, art and architecture to life.

France is also home to bags of places with traditional rural charm. Provence is simply breathtaking with sun-baked countryside adorned with pretty châteaux and cute little villages. The Mediterranean climate is perfect for enjoying lazy days and long country walks.

You could visit the Côte d'Azur, also known as The French Riviera, which (more or less) stretches from Monaco in the East to Marseille in the West. This is home to places such as Monte Carlo, Cannes and glitzy St Tropez. Venture further afield and you will encounter medieval villages which cascade down to the sparkling azure water where we are sure you will want to stop a while and soak up the ambience.

The Atlantic Coast offers Brittany, Aquitaine, Western Loire and Normandy which are great places to enjoy a more relaxing and traditional beach holiday.

The legendary alpine resorts of the Hautes Alpes region are popular with winter sports enthusiasts of all ages and abilities. Chamonix and Courcheval are consistently ranked amongst the very finest ski resorts in the world but everyone’s got their favourites and we adore the sophisticated Haute Savoie village of Megeve known for its pretty cafés and patisseries, up-market shops and horse-drawn sleighs.

The Vaucluse is home to the renowned wine villages of Châteauneuf du Pape and Gigondas and to the craggy, sky-high, picture-perfect villages of the Luberon.  Choose the Dordogne for fantastic castles, honey-coloured villages and cliff-top châteaux which are simply perfect for a fairytale wedding.

Gourmet food and wine lovers will adore the customised private wine tours which operate throughout the picturesque regions of Provence, Burgundy and Bordeaux. Tailored around your vacation they provide access to unique cellars and châteaux and offer you the opportunity of meeting leading vintners and cellar masters.
