When you think of France, you quickly think of baguettes, escargots, French cheeses, and wine. For many, France has a permanent place in their memories thanks to the summer holidays, where they enjoy themselves at cheerful campsites with a game of pétanque. Usually with more Dutch people than you'd care to imagine.

The diverse French landscape is not only beautiful but also offers opportunities for a wide range of recreational activities: mountain climbing, kitesurfing, snowboarding, rafting, and beautiful cycling routes (a real speed freak can climb Mont Ventoux by bike). Cities definitely worth a visit include Cannes, Bordeaux , Lille, Nice and of course the city of love ParisAnd although the French are a little stubborn about speaking English, you can easily get by with gestures and gestures. France is an interesting holiday destination for all ages and in every season: from surfing in the summer to skiing in the wintry Alps.
