3 France Summer Holiday Tips

Planning a France summer holiday? Then look at self-catering holiday specialist Lagrange Holidays.

France Lagrange 2011 offers holidays from Côte d’Azur apartments to holiday homes in Brittany and the Loire Valley.

The company’s accommodation can be booked alone, or with self-drive or rail packages.

Lagrange Holidays offers these top tips for France summer holidays:

• Consider the mountains. “If you really want to save money, avoid the beach altogether and head to the mountains, where there is a plethora of activities on offer, from rambling to white-water rafting.”

• Rediscover the benefits of self-drive. “Driving is not only the cheapest way to get to France, but also a way of making the journey down part of the adventure, with many sightseeing opportunities along the way. Even a stopover or two on the way down will often be cheaper than flights or the train.”

• Try alternatives to big name sea resorts. “Internationally recognizable resorts like Nice, Cannes and Saint Tropez will not only be crowded during the summer months, but their fame will also add hundreds of pounds to the cost of a family holiday. Lesser known resorts often offer a more relaxing and authentic experience, while saving you money.”
