France

Our everlasting love affair with France is a passionate one. Its chic capital is still number one for weekend breaks; the beautiful region of Provence dazzles the senses with its breathtaking scenery, fascinating history and excellent cuisine; and the French Riviera remains a glamorous and stylish escape from the capricious British climate. With a maximum two hour flying time from the UK and choice of superlative hotels and resorts, France, quite rightly, continues to be one of our favourite European hot-spots.
