Where to go on holiday in France: ideas for trips with a baby, family or friends

Where to go on holiday in France when travelling with a baby, a large group or solo? From the Atlantic coast to the Mediterranean coves, the Alps to the villages of Provence, France offers an incredible variety of destinations for every type of traveller. The key is to choose a place that really suits your pace, your budget and your desired activities.

With a baby, it’s best to choose quiet seaside resorts and well-equipped residences and hotels: family rooms, baby kits, shaded areas, suitable swimming pools, and simple, convenient dining options. For families, head for the large beaches, theme parks, ski resorts or mountain resorts that are lively in summer, where kids’ clubs, sports activities and convivial evenings allow everyone to enjoy their holidays.

For couples, friends or singles, city breaks (Nice, Marseille, Nîmes, Paris, etc.), lively seaside resorts and festive ski resorts are ideal for alternating between discoveries, outings and moments of relaxation at the spa or on the terrace.

Sea, mountains, countryside or city: our ideas for holidays in France will help you find the destination that’s right for you, whatever the season – in June, in the height of summer, at Christmas or for a simple long weekend.
