France
France has a myriad of World Heritage Sites – locations deemed by UNESCO to have true value and significance, whether it be culturally, scientifically, or other. There are seven of these incredible sites across our tours – including the glorious River Seine in the heart of Paris and the magical tidal island, Mont Saint-Michel, with its incredible, gravity-defying abbey. This island can be spotted from the coast, in Brittany Bay, which is known for its extravagant churches and castles. With its incredible Gothic architecture and Renaissance buildings, charming Rouen is also a must-see, especially the remarkable Gros Horloge, a 14th century astronomical clock embedded in a magnificent Renaissance archway. Beyond city life, France has such spectacular scenery, rivers, valleys, and fields, as well as its incredible coast. Renowned for its summer film festival, the resort town of Cannes has kept its small-town beauty but added sophistication and fashion with its wide range of luxury shops and gourmet restaurants. Coach holidays to France have been a firm-favourite with British holidaymakers for decades, and with its fantastic cuisine, world-famous wines and top-quality attractions, it’s easy to see why.

Go on holiday, not a research expedition
We've rounded up some of the very best sights to make planning your next adventure a breeze...
Brittany
Mont Saint-Michel
As if born of legend, Mont Saint-Michel rises from the sea, its majestic abbey perched above. The tale tells of the 8th-century Archangel Michael appearing to the Bishop of Avranches in a dream, inspiring the birth of this medieval marvel.
Vannes
Hidden in the cosy Gulf of Morbihan, Vannes unfolds with leafy quays, classic Breton houses, and an Old Town watched over by the grand Cathédrale de St Pierre. Plus, The mischievous ‘Mr. and Mrs. Vannes’ carvings in Place Valencia add a touch of humour to the city’s charms!
Dinan
Dinan is the medieval fairy tale that got tired of being in books and built itself into Brittany! With twisty cobblestone streets and ramparts that go on and on (and on), it’s a place where history comes with a dash of whimsy.
French Riviera
Nice
Equal parts laid-back coast and lively city, Nice is all about balance. The Baie des Anges plays model for the Promenade, swaying palm trees wave to passers-by, and Colline du Chateau watches it all – that’s Nice!
Cannes
In Cannes, the French Riviera goes all out with luxury yachts and celeb-style hotels. Yet up in the Old Town, a different Cannes thrives, with cobbled paths, ancient city walls, and a down-to-earth charm that’s got its own kind of star power.
Menton
Regarded as the dazzling pearl of the French Riviera, this adorable village is lemon central! Thanks to its perfectly warm microclimate, lemon trees are practically on every corner, flaunting their sunny selves. The beautiful harbour and charming old quarter only add to its picturesque appeal.
Paris
Eiffel Tower
One of the most famous metal structures in the world, the Eiffel Tower stands proudly over Paris, ready to wow tourists from all corners of the globe. Below, the Eiffel Tower Gardens invite visitors to wander through a vibrant display of flowers – perfect for contemplating life, love, and the next croissant!
Louvre Museum
As the reigning champion of tourist attractions, the Louvre is an art lover’s dream! This giant museum is stuffed to the brim with masterpieces from ancient civilizations to the mid-19th century – yes, including the Mona Lisa. And let’s not forget Venus de Milo, who remains stylishly armless.
Arc de Triomphe
Rising above the Champs-Élysées, the Arc de Triomphe is a stone storybook of French victories, with names of generals and battles carved into its surface. Beneath the arch rests the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, with the Flame of Remembrance rekindling every evening since 1923.
Strasbourg
Strasbourg Cathedral
Get ready to have your jaw drop, and your socks knocked off by Strasbourg Cathedral, the Gothic giant that towers over the city. Its stained-glass windows shimmer, and the façade is a party of sculptures, each one more fabulous than the last.
Petite France
‘Petite France’ in Strasbourg is a delightful jumble of colourful inns and flower-adorned timber houses. Once bustling with the clatter of fishermen, millers, and tanners, this district now just enjoys the serene company of the shimmering River Ill.
Palais Rohan
Sitting pretty by the River Ill, the fancy 18th-century Palais Rohan was once the home of prince-bishops and cardinals. Its exterior is a flamboyant display of French Baroque flair, while the interior hosts three museums packed with eye-popping art, archaeological curiosities, and decorative doodads.
Destinations to dream about...
Food and Drink
One of the best things about travelling? The food, of course! Every destination has its own favourites – the dishes locals swear by and visitors can’t stop talking about. To make things easier, we’ve picked out four must-try treats from this region, with a little flavour of what they’re all about.
So… which one’s making your mouth water?
Escargot
It might sound fancy (and a little daring), but escargot – yes, snails – are a beloved French appetiser with a surprisingly smooth, chewy texture and rich, buttery flavour. A true French classic, and a must-try for adventurous foodies looking to tick off something délicieux from their list!
French Wine
As one of the world’s top wine producers, France has been perfecting the art of the grape for centuries. Fancy a red? Bordeaux is your go-to. Prefer something crisp and white? The Loire Valley has you covered. After a glass of something pink and sun-kissed? Provence rosé is as refreshing as it gets.
French Cheese
Home to hundreds of varieties, from soft and creamy to bold and blue, there’s something to tempt every tastebud. Tuck into a wedge of camembert, savour the tang of Roquefort, or melt into the mellow richness of brie – in France, there’s no wrong answer to indulge in a bit of cheesy bliss.
Cuisses de Grenouille
A quirky classic from the French table, Cuisses de Grenouille – that’s frog legs to the rest of us – are a delicacy that’s well worth a try. Fried or grilled to golden perfection, they’re a surprisingly mild bite, often compared to chicken.
