Where to find the best food in France?
France's cuisine: world heritage for gourmets
Gourmets get their money's worth on a vacation with a vacation home in France. While in Paris you will find luxurious star cuisine, fusion cuisine with creative ideas and international restaurants from countries like Vietnam and Morocco, in the different regions of the country it is mostly the food produced there that provides fascination. In Champagne, for example, you should try the high-quality sparkling wines and in Franche-Comté the cave cheese aged for two years. In Brittany, you are in turn served paper-thin "galette" pancakes baked from buckwheat flour with ham, cheese and egg, whereas Alsace is famous for its sauerkraut pans with hearty sausage.
Even though the big cities and Paris in particular are somewhat more expensive than Germany when it comes to restaurant prices - you can afford a menu without any problems and thus usually even get there cheaper than if you order à la carte. Menus consist of three to four courses, including regional dishes and cheese at the end of each meal. A no-no is to take too many slices at the cheese cart. Likewise, you should not simply look for a seat in the restaurant, but wait for the waiter to offer you a table.
What is the weather like in France?
French weather: Different climates
The weather could be splendid or it may be raining during your trip to France, it all depends on where you book France vacation homes. If you’re in the south then you can expect hot summers and mild winters; in the north, you’ll get warm summers and chilly winters; near the Alps you’ll be at the mercy of the mountains, which usually means snowy winters and warm summers. If you’re heading to the north, you’d be advised to take an umbrella with you. But don’t despair – a rainy stroll down the Paris Left Bank is just about one of the most idyllic scenes the country has to offer.
What are the top sights in France?
France and its sights
It’s impossible to do justice to the magnificence of France in just a few statements. This is a country with many superb attractions and a broad range of different landscapes. The best advice is to make a base at one of our France rental homes, then explore as much as possible from there.
Paris is the number one French destination. The Louvre, Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame and Left Bank are all magnificent, must-visit sights, but the real joy is simply in strolling the streets and soaking up the atmosphere. Grab a coffee at one of the curbside cafés, relax and watch the world go by.
The French Riviera is another stunning part of the country. This area, once a seasonal retreat for the rich and famous, has retained all of its character and charm. Côte d'Azur is a laid-back oasis with world-class amenities and exciting cities. Spend some time in Saint-Tropez or the beaches of Antibes, or get ritzy in Monaco.
Take a brief drive away from the major vacation hotspots and you’ll be in what locals might term “the real France”. The countryside is beautiful in itself, and the scattered villages and towns are charming. There are hundreds of these located across the country, so load up the car with supplies and take a tour.
What are the best places to discover the arts and culture of France?
Pure culture during a vacation in France
Famous art museums, world-famous churches and magnificent palaces - such as the gigantic Musée du Louvre in Paris, the world-famous Gothic cathedral of Chartres or magnificent palaces like the Palace of Versailles - make France an important cultural nation. Dive into the French Middle Ages on a visit to the fortress of Carcassonne in France's south or to the Norman monastery island of Mont-Saint-Michel. A time travel into the prehistoric megalithic culture you undertake in Brittany.
On the traces of the French Impressionists you walk north of Paris, in the Île-de-France, or Normandy - or of course in southern France. Visit Monet's garden in Giverny, for example. Or let yourself be enchanted by the blooming landscape of Provence as Cézanne, Renoir or Van Gogh once were.
What are the best activities for families in France?
Sand and sea
Popular vacation areas for young and old are the coasts of Brittany and Normandy. There, huge building sites for sand castles form at low tide. The Aquitaine coast in western France also promises impressive vacation adventures. Climb the gigantic dune of Pilat! With a height of up to 110m, it is the largest shifting sand dune in Europe.
Where are the unique attractions in France?
France's natural landscape - diverse coasts and rugged Alpine peaks
In the north of Brittany stretches the rugged emerald coast with a wide view over the blue and green glittering Atlantic. The good 50km long coastline between Cancale and Cap Fréhel consists of steep rock formations, picturesque sandy beaches and moorland. In this natural landscape you can go hiking, horseback riding or cycling. On the up to 70m high rocks of Cap Fréhel in the bird sanctuary the castle Fort la Latte is enthroned with a view over the English Channel.
East of Cancale, in Normandy, lies on an island the village Mont St.-Michel. You can reach the island with its abbey, which originated in the early Middle Ages, via an 800m-long causeway bridge. The island is part of the Way of St. James and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
In the south of France, the marshlands of the Camargue spread out with white wild horses, black bulls and pink flamingos. The best way to explore the rich fauna and flora is on a horseback ride through pastures, marshes and salt flats.
During your French vacation, you will experience the French Alps in the border area with Italy and Switzerland. The region with the 4810m high Mont Blanc attracts in the summer to alpine mountain hikes, in the cold season to winter sports, for example, in the ski resort Megève.
