Hassle free family holidays in France

7th June 2016 By David Pike Leave a Comment

madam vaccancesHassle free family holidays in France – For most Francophiles, France’s enduring appeal owes as much to its phenomenal food and wine as it does its picturesque villages, fascinating history and unspoilt countryside.

Over the last 25 years Madame Vacances has dedicated itself to helping couples and families alike enjoy hassle-free holidays to the secret corners of France.

From golf getaways to gourmet escapes and beach breaks to Alpine adventures, this French accommodation specialist offers the discerning traveller a prestigious portfolio of with picture-perfect holiday destinations.

Here’s a few of the highlights:-

Aquitane: Tucked away in the southwestern corner, this coastal region offers some of the most quintessentially French holiday experiences without the crowds – and all just 50 minutes from the Belle Époque charm of glamourous Biarritz. Here the luxurious villas with private pools and golf-side apartments of Moliets – nestled between the unspoiled Landes pine forest, the beautiful Basque countryside and the Atlantic Ocean’s endless sandy beaches – are perfectly placed to entertain active couples and nature lovers alike.   Ideal for families, ocean lovers and nature lovers.

Midi-Pyrenees: With the Tarn Valley boasting an undulating landscape once described as “where Tuscany meets the Cotswolds”, the area brims with charming mediaeval villages and hypnotic scenery. Madame Vacances’ Résidence La Marquisié sits proudly on a hilltop overlooking the delightful village of Trébas les Bains with indulgent views across the valley and a wellness centre – complete with pool – that ensures guests leave utterly refreshed.

Picardie: Described as one of the most beautiful bays in the world, the Bay of Somme is home to the coastal resort of Cayeux sur Mer, where the Résidence Les Terrasses de la Plage takes centre stage. With the town’s pretty pebble beaches having received Blue Flag status last year, the seascape is as well-suited to active holidaymakers keen to test out the local kite-surfing school as nature-lovers eager to meet the local seal colonies or simply relax on the surrounding dunes.
