Discover the diversity of France on an unforgettable car holiday

When looking for an unforgettable holiday, France is a destination that often comes to mind. For us, France is more than just a country; it is a travel destination we have explored time and again. From our childhood spent camping in the south of France to sipping champagne in the Champagne region and tasting red wine in Bordeaux, we have experienced it all

Treasures outside the capital

What makes France truly versatile are the treasures outside the capital. Cities such as Lille and Nice are definitely worth a visit. On the enchanting Côte d’Azur on the southern coast, you will find yourself amidst the rich and famous, surrounded by luxury yachts and picturesque coastal towns. Don’t forget, too, that some of the world’s best wines come from France. A visit to a wine region is therefore a must. Thanks to the pleasant climate, you can enjoy a good glass of wine with baguettes and cheese almost all year round.

More than a famous wine region

In the north of the Burgundy region, you will find Chablis, a famous wine region. But did you know that Chablis itself is also a charming town? Located just 180 kilometres north of Paris, it is surprisingly atmospheric. While many tourists visit the famous wine town of Beaune in southern Burgundy, Chablis often remains overlooked. And that is actually an advantage, because here you can experience the authentic charm of a less visited town.

Independent travel in France

When it comes to travelling, we prefer independence. Driving your own car or a hire car offers unprecedented freedom. Driving from the Netherlands to France is fine, and the roads in France are well maintained. If you travel by plane, renting a car is a smart move. This way, you can not only explore cities, but also relax on the beach.

The perfect road trip

France is also an ideal stopover for a European road trip. It borders several countries and is centrally located in Europe. For example, you can drive to the south of France and then travel on to Spain and Portugal. France part of a road trip through Germany, or a car holiday in Italy!

So, whether you enjoy the bustling streets of Paris, explore the tranquillity of Chablis, or take a road trip across Europe, France has everything you need for an unforgettable car holiday. It’s time to hit the road and enjoy the treasures in this beautiful country. Bon voyage!
