1 . France has everything you could possibly wish for in a holiday, and not including things like the Eiffel Tower, there are many other landmarks and tourist attractions to experience.
You can choose to book one of the inclusive holidays in France or plan your own trip and stay at one of the Paris hotels or B&Bs. In fact there are more hotels in Paris than any other city in France, as this is such a popular place for a short weekend break. But for a break with a difference, how about staying in one of the castles that have been changed into famous hotels in luxury?
On the other hand, if you enjoy taking a touring holiday, there are thousands of French campsites in France, where you can put up your own tent, but on many campsites for more convenience you could even live in a chalet(棚屋).
You can easily find campsites with excellent facilities that include swimming pools, shops clubs, bars, entertainment, playgrounds, etc. These are good for the whole family holiday and some even offer other activities such as tennis, fishing, swimming and more, which can make for an ideal self-help holiday at very little expense, yet please do not forget about your holiday insurance.
And, for those who love adventure holidays, you will not be disappointed with a lot of activities on offer in France, such as boating, rafting, horse riding, hiking, which mean holiday insurance is even more necessary.
So for your next holiday to France, why not start planning to see more of the real France, with all of its history, culture, landmarks and heritage.
