Holiday lettings in France

West of France

In the west of France's idyllic Grand Est region lies Champagne, where the world-famous Champagne matures. During your holiday in a holiday home in France, you can get to know the sparkling wine in famous wineries and on numerous wine routes. Worth seeing are the cities of Reims with one of the most important cathedrals of the country (Notre-Dame de Reims), Troyes with its historic old town and Châlons-en-Champagne with charming half-timbered houses and imposing sacral buildings.

Capital Paris

No other metropolis inspires with as many sights as the French capital Paris: In addition to the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre Art Museum and the Sacré-Coeur Basilica are among the highlights. In the evening, the numerous small brasseries or a walk along the Seine invite you to end the day with a glass of cider and a few macarons. Paris, on the other hand, entices with its vibrant urban culture: the metropolis serves as a breeding ground for ideas, fashion, new trends and wide-ranging nightlife. At the same time, from a holiday apartment in the centre of France's capital you can quickly reach the many brasseries with luxurious menus and the finest French cuisine, as well as famous museums such as the Louvre. A holiday apartment in France's sophisticated capital is therefore "très chic".

Provence

One of the most scenic holiday regions is the Provence with its purple glowing lavender fields, green covered hills and Mediterranean climate. A very special cuisine also awaits you here: in the southeast of France, between the Rhône Valley and Italy, lies the region where the world-famous Herbes de Provence grow. Also discover the papal city of Avignon with its medieval palaces, bridges and cathedrals.

Côte d'Azur

In the east of France, as part of the Provence, the Côte d'Azur attracts with its azure coastline that reaches as far as Cassis in the west and the Italian border in the east. The port city of Saint-Tropez is the most famous spot on the French Rivera. The city is especially popular among high-society, numerous luxury yachts and noble boutiques testify to this. The elegant cities of Marseille and Nice also shine with long promenades and a luxurious flair.

Burgundy

You can get exciting insights into French history during a holiday in Burgundy. Visit the abbeys of Cluny and Fontenay or walk in the footsteps of the Dukes of Burgundy in the wine and Gothic city of Dijon. Worth seeing is the famous basilica in picturesquely situated Vézelay, as well as the small walled town of Beanue, which is beautifully situated among vineyards.

The Coast of France

In the lowlands, the remaining foothills of the mountains meet the Atlantic Ocean, which forms the country's western border across the Aquitaine region and Brittany into northern Normandy. The coast is ideal for a beach holiday in a holiday home or a holiday bungalow at the beach. France also has excellent seaside resorts on the Mediterranean, such as the Côte d'Azur and the rugged sandbanks off Montpellier and Perpignan.

Gourmets get their money's worth on a holiday with a holiday home in France. While in Paris you will find luxurious star cuisine, fusion cuisine with creative ideas and international restaurants from countries like Vietnam and Morocco, in the different regions of the country it is mostly the food produced there that is fascinating. In Champagne for example, you should try the high-quality sparkling wines and in Franche-Comté, the two-year matured cave cheese. In Brittany, on the other hand, you will be served wafer-thin "galette" pancakes baked from buckwheat flour with ham, cheese and egg, whereas Alsace is famous for its sauerkraut pans with hearty sausage.

Even though the big cities, and Paris in particular, are somewhat more expensive than Germany when it comes to restaurant prices - you can easily afford a menu, which is usually even cheaper than ordering à la carte. The menus consist of three to four courses, including regional dishes and cheese at the end of each meal. A no-no is to grab too many slices at the cheese cart. Likewise, don't just look for a seat in the restaurant, but wait for the waiter to offer you a table.
