Luxury holidays in France

A country of inimitable style and sophistication, Frances seductive powers and savoir-faire are legendary.

Pleasure is a serious business here, evident in the sprawling pavement cafés, leisurely games of boules in town squares, and lively markets where locals meet to gossip and select the freshest produce.

It is also a country of breathtaking landscapes: from the rolling vineyards of Provence and the timeless romance of Paris, to the elegant châteaux of the Loire Valley and the chic, sun-drenched loveliness of the Côte d'Azur.

Monaco

This glittering principality celebrates style, from the terraced gardens and the sleek yachts dotted in the marina, to the winding roads echoing with the roar of the Formula One Grand Prix.

Provence

Provence evokes images of villagers playing boules, a Pernod sipped in the leafy shade of a pavement café, and the scent of mimosa, lavender and thyme.

Côte d'Azur

The sun-drenched beaches of St Tropez, Cannes and Nice, have long attracted the rich and famous. From these world-famous seaside resorts to smaller coastal retreats this haven of the south offers a host of pleasures.

Corsica

Mountaintop villages overlook more than 600 miles of beaches, and winding mountain roads lead down to charming fishing villages and the often gloriously empty bays of this wonderful island.
