Enjoying an aperitif on the terrace, watching the countryside change colour with the sunset; feasting on oysters and sipping chilled Muscadet from a perch on the harbour wall; picking cherries from a dappled orchard; endless fields of deep purple lavender and brilliant sunflowers; scented air; grasping the skills of the boules team in the local market square; marvelling at the colour and animation of country markets; discovering wonderful ancient villages, locked in time - memories of France are made of this.

The world's most popular tourist destination for well over 20 years, France has an irresistible, year-round appeal boasting arguably one of Europe's most diverse landscapes. From the rolling vineyards of Bordeaux, Champagne and Burgundy to the stately châteaux and gardens of the Loire; from the steep gorges of the Ardèche and Tarn Valley to the beautiful, sun-drenched coastline of the Côtes d’Azur and Atlantique; from the rocky coves and white sandy beaches of Brittany to the volcanic plateaux of the Auvergne and the Massif Central; from the wetlands of the Camargue and the Marais Poitevin to the battlefields of Normandy and the Somme; from the chic boulevards of Paris and gourmet restaurants of Lyon to the snow-capped mountains of the Alps and Pyrenees.

Cities steeped in history and tradition, wonders of nature and man-made architectural gems, an unsurpassed reputation for gastronomic cuisine and fine wines, mile upon mile of unspoiled countryside, fine sandy beaches and hidden hilltop villages - these are just a few of the many attractions France has to offer both the first-time visitor  and seasoned Francophile.

For four decades, France has been VFB Holiday's very own passion and few companies know the country better. Founded on principles of reliability, service and value, VFB Holidays has become the benchmark for standards within the field of French Holidays. Little wonder therefore that we were voted 2010 Best Tour Operator to France at the French Travel Trade Awards, AITO's Travel Company of the Year and topped the Best Tour Operator poll in the 2010 Which? holiday survey.

Whether it’s a farmhouse in Gascony, a romantic pigeonnier in Burgundy, a château hotel in the Loire, a family-run auberge in Normandy, a restaurant with rooms in the Languedoc, a former monastery in Picardy, a grand city-centre hotel or former résidence in central Paris, or a luxury villa with private pool in Provence, all of our hotels and self-catering properties have been selected using a wealth of experience and meticulous attention to detail.

Welcome, then, old friends and new, to some of the best hidden corners of rural France - and prepare for more happy memories.
