Britain has a lot to offer for a short break and many people are choosing to stay closer to home for holidays. We can see this as a knock-on from the financial crisis, but this does not mean people have forgotten the benefits of holidaying away in France, especially as the economy looks more confident.
France is a country filled with tourist delights that are certain to impress even the most discerning traveller. The reason for this is because of the diversity in scenery and pace which can be found across the various regions, ranging from bustling urban site seeing to laid back, relaxed country getaways.
If the fast paced, lively atmosphere of a city takes to your fancy, then France has a number of cities drenched in history. Of course the most popular of these is Paris which provides visual pleasures such as the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre museum and the infamous Notre Dame. However, many people tend to overlook cities such as Calais, Dijon, Lille and Nice, each with their own take on French culture.
If city life isn't for you, then France has many secluded cottages, vineyards and farm houses dotted across the vast rural spaces. These sorts of properties may be stereotyped to the rich and wealthy for their summer getaway, but holiday planners can rent French cottages catered especially for tourists.
After booking a stay in a French cottage, you can expect to choose from a huge variety of activities ranging from wine tours, skiing and relaxing on the seaside.
Recent reports found a six per cent drop in tourists last year, thought to be a result of the economic crisis, but it is claimed the industry is feeling positive about the prospects for this year and explains the cheap cost of travel to France from the UK is a huge bonus. The use of the Channel tunnel and rental cars, have brought France even closer and holiday reps have countered the economic crisis with some great deals.
So now is a great time to hop across the Channel and enjoy the sights and sounds of France for this summer, be it for a weekend, a week or a fortnight.
