From its world-famous landmarks, iconic art galleries and widely-replicated cuisine, France’s culture is both steadfastly familiar and endlessly exciting. France cultural holidays will have you falling in love with the country’s eminently chic capital, Paris - neatly summed up by its moniker the ‘City of Love’. Embrace the city’s ingrained rituals, from strutting down the Champs-Élysées with a coffee and croissant in hand, to observing the rhythm of daily life from beneath the striped awning of an authentic bistro. The nation’s distinct culture spills over into la France profonde (rural France), where foodie traditions prevail, particularly in the vineyards of Bordeaux and brasseries of Lyon (the jewel in France’s gastronomic crown). The glamorous Côte d'Azur is the artists’ muse of French regions and the place to head for a creative education, while Normandy’s rich history is visible in every corner of the northern province.

"The skiing was great – so much snow (almost too much) and the place we stayed in Tignes was great. Paris was great – The Keppler was perfect. It was very friendly, comfortable, efficient and well located. A great weekend, thanks for arranging it. Great recommendations!"
