Word Count: 613 Holidays in France Means More Than Just The Eiffel Tower
France has tens of thousands of hotels and B&B’s in fact there are more
hotels in Paris than any other city in France, as this is such a popular
destination for a short weekend break. But for a break with a difference, how
about staying in one of the many chateaux that has been converted into a
prestigious hotel with the ultimate in luxury or perhaps you would prefer a
travel inn near to one of the attractions like Disneyland Paris or Futurescope.
There are also absolutely thousands of camping sites all over France, where you
can pitch your own tent, go touring with a caravan or motor home, but for more
convenience you could even hire a chalet already on site.
You can normally find campsites with excellent facilities that include swimming
pools, shops, clubs, bars, entertainment, playgrounds, etc and are ideal for a
family holiday. Some even offer other activities such as tennis, fishing, French
boules, cycles for hire, and even games rooms with pool, snooker, etc, which can
make for an ideal self-catering holiday at very little expense.
However, for those that are into adventure, you will not be disappointed with
the range of activities on offer in France, such as canoeing, paragliding,
abseiling, kayaking and rafting, horse riding, hiking, etc.
France is also a country that is extremely enthusiastic about cycling and they
have made it ever so easy to explore the countryside and cities on two wheels.
For a cycling holiday, France is a great location for people with all levels of
ability. Gentle rolling lanes and dedicated cycle paths for family cycling
holidays, along with mountains for the cycling enthusiast and those that require
a bit more strenuous activity whilst on holiday.
With all the rich heritage, extraordinary landscapes and the gastronomic
delights you can really appreciated these more whilst cycling, especially
because of the extensive national network of veloroutes, which will take you
along canal towpaths, quiet country lanes and converted railway lines as well as
getting you into the heart of the countryside by using voies vertes, also known
as green ways, which are specially designated tracks that are completely shut to
motorised traffic.
France also has two main ski areas, the Pyrenees and the Alps, both with many
ski resorts and without a doubt, some of the best and most extreme ski areas in
the world. It also has some of the biggest ski resorts such as Les Trois Vallees,
which is made up of three valleys and includes resorts like Courchevel and
Meribel. There are well over 1000km of pistes for skiers of all abilities and
experience, so there is enough choice for everyone.
France has everything you could possibly wish for in a holiday, and forgetting
things like the Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe, there are numerous other
landmarks to experience, such as the Canal du Midi, which is the oldest canal in
Europe, thermal springs, National Parks and wildlife reserves, caves, the Millau
Viaduct, which is the tallest traffic bridge in the world, The Dune de Pilat,
which is the largest sand dune in Europe, plus the Cirque of Gavarnie in the
Hautes-Pyrenees that surprises all by its colossal size and its cascade, and
being the highest in Europe you will not fail to be impressed!
So for your next holiday to France why not start planning to see more of the
real France, with all of its history, culture, landmarks and heritage, you will
not want to go home!
