Famous for its food, wine, and leisurely pace of life, France is the perfect place to kick back and relax over the long Easter weekend. People-watch in Paris, try the best wines in Bordeaux or laze by the pool on the French Riviera. France truly has something for everyone – there’s a reason why it’s the most visited country in Europe. A France Easter holiday is a great way to immerse yourself in the joie de vivre culture without the heaving summer crowds. In the spring, you’ll find the south of France sunny and warm, with mild weather elsewhere, and flowers beginning to bloom across the country. Regrette rien.

"The Concierge were responsive and helpful on the couple of occasions we contacted them, and the hotels were great. Our favourite was Hôtel Version Maquis Santa Manza, Bonifacio - the buggy ride to the secluded beach was amazing! We really enjoyed the 4x4 tour of the Agriates desert too, and the guide was very good."

Our France travel experts are on hand to customise the perfect trip for you, but here is a snapshot of what you might enjoy on a France Easter holiday with Original Travel:


People-watch in a Parisian café

Café culture is a defining feature of Parisian life. Kitsch tables and chairs are scattered across pavements all over the city and, on your France Easter holiday, it should be warm enough to sit outside and enjoy the spring sunshine. Take a break from sightseeing and stop for a café au lait and some good old fashioned people-watching.


Cycle from vineyard to vineyard

France is a wine-lovers playground, with countless regions to visit, and our favourite way to explore is on two wheels. While away an afternoon on your France Easter holiday cycling from vineyard to vineyard, sampling endless delicious wines as you go. Alsace is famous for its light whites, Bordeaux for its rich reds and Provence for its sweet Grenache grapes, and our experts can direct you to the places to sample the best of each one.


Go to the gastronomic capital

There’s nothing the French are more passionate about than gastronomy. Lyon, home to an impressive 20 Michelin-starred restaurants, is the perfect place to immerse yourself in the country’s unparalleled food culture on your France Easter holiday. Try classics like escargots or soupe a l’oignon, or go for a more modern twist on French cuisine at one of the city’s many fusion restaurants.
