What We Do

Read our practical guides to the best French beaches to relax on, the best towns to explore and the best attractions in France to keep the children entertained!

Plus, we offer a carefully selected range of self-catering accommodation including villas, gites and holiday parks across France. These properties are mainly owned by private individuals and we work closely with each of the owners featured on France for Families to firstly ‘vet’ them and then to ensure that they provide the highest standards of service and guest care. Because you’re dealing directly with the Owners you can also be sure that you will get the best price for your family holiday.
