luxury holidays in France

England's closest neighbour is proof that you don't have to travel far to experience a truly foreign culture.  In France, holidays can offer a feast of architecture, cuisine, viniculture and art – all quite literally on our doorstep.

Luxury holidays in France with Abercrombie & Kent enable you to explore this nearby treasure in luxury and comfort, truly immersing yourself in the people, places and flavours that define France.

The mood of this mighty brooding country changes dramatically from place to place, from Paris to Lake Geneva, from a Barging holiday to catching the surf in the Southwest. In southwest Provence the world of Peter Mayle still lives on in an agrarian landscape unchanged by the ages, where farmers toil to perfect the ingredients for the traditional menus of local restaurants.

On France's sunny southern coast in the Cote d’Azur, medieval villages are tiered over the clear blue waters of the Mediterranean sea and small pastel-painted fishing harbours are thronged with Europe's most fashionable elite – perfect for a chic yet relaxing holiday in France.

We also travel further, taking your France holiday experience to the fortified mountaintop villages of Cathar country, the rolling surf of the Atlantic coast, the vineyard villages of Beaujolais and the quiet crinkled coast of Brittany. Call and speak to one of our travel specialist to arrange your France holiday, á la carte.

Pricing
At A&K all of our journeys are individually tailored to suit your needs and timescale. However, as a guide, a 4 night luxury holiday in France can be arranged from £820 per person and a 7 night France holiday from £1,150 per person including flights from the UK and subject to availability.
