If you want to self-drive, we will provide tips on what to look out for, how to plan ahead and save money. We cover accommodation and compare the different options such as staying in B & B’s (chambres d’hôtes), farmhouses (gîtes) and apartments.

There are also France touring tips on transport choices, including information to take the mystery out of the metro. Our “I’ve landed, now what?” info in our French Transport section provides options on how to get from the airport to your destination. Be inspired by our photos taken during our travels. Most importantly our information is growing all the time, so there's more to discover with every visit!



Where possible we have provided official French websites, in english. Our third party links present valid, no-nonsense information, we know this because we have done the homework for you and also used these sites ourselves.



Our travel suggestions are free and genuine. Why? Because we are passionate about France touring and sharing our knowledge with enthusiastic and like-minded travellers. If you have an interest in France and French history, art, literature, music, regions, traditions, food and wine... stimulate your five senses as you travel through France. Prepare for your trip with a tour through this website to pick up handy hints.
