Now that the weather has started to warm up, many of us have started thinking about what to do on our well-deserved holidays. And there aren't many places that come alive in the spring and summer like France does. 

With its lush, flower-filled countryside, iconic cities with culture and culinary expertise where you can find the world's best ingredients, it's hard to resist the temptation to book a holiday to France!

Paris in spring and summer

Given that Frank Sinatra once sang about spring in Paris, it seems like a good place to start. The country's capital is famous for the Louvre and the Centre Pompidou, and the iconic Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame Cathedral are of course always unique photo opportunities.

But if you want to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle, walk along the beautiful Seine River or have a lazy picnic at the wonderful Le Jardin du Luxembourg, conveniently located just off the elegant Latin Quarter.

Sunshine on the French Riviera

South-west France is always a safe bet for sunshine. Along the French Riviera you'll find charming coastal towns like Antibes, Villefranche-sur-Mer and Cannes. Then there's the glamorous microstate of Monaco, famous for the Casino de Monte Carlo where you'll find world-class entertainment once the sun goes down.

While you'll never tire of lounging on the beaches of the French Riviera, there's also plenty of exciting things to explore, such as picturesque Venice and the cinematic meadows that are proof of why so many people are drawn to this enchanting region.

Beautiful Dordogne

If you want to get a taste of old, rural France, it's a good idea to head to the area along the Dordogne River in the south-west of the country. The rich farmland has helped this area become a real haven for foodies.

Not only will you find regional food favourites like foie gras, strawberries, walnuts and truffles. The beautiful towns of Domme and Beynac-et-Cazenac will in themselves leave you breathless and never wanting to leave this magical place.
