France Vacations & Trips from $1,067

Top France getaways and accommodation 

France offers an incredibly wide range of landscapes and experiences, from wine regions studded with beautiful chateaux to wonderfully peaceful mountain villages where you can get away from it all, and border regions where cultures collide and create something new. Here are some of the best destinations for planning a France getaway: 

• Paris: The City of Light is an ideal starting point for a French vacation. It's the main hub for flights and hotels to France when traveling intercontinental. Stay right by the Eiffel Tower with Hotel Le Cercle Tour Eiffel, choose full luxe with Hotel Trianon Rive Gauche, or take the kids to Disneyland Paris with the Dream Castle Hotel.
• The French Riviera: Rub shoulders with VIPs in breezy seaside towns along the famous Côte d'Azur. For budget-friendly vacations, stay at the Best Western Hotel Journel in Antibes. Hôtel Barrière Le Gray d'Albion offers a 4-star experience in Cannes just steps away from the Croisette promenade and the beaches. For the luxury experience of a lifetime near Saint-Tropez, explore France deals for the Château de Berne.
• Normandy and Brittany: History buffs will love Normandy for its abundance of World War II history, and Brittany for its megalithic monuments and wild landscapes. Oceania Brest Centre is an upscale hotel in downtown Brest, a city famous for its port and maritime legacy. The Hotel de Bourgtheroulde, Autograph Collection is a luxury spa hotel in Rouen where you'll find a beautifully preserved medieval old town and one of France's most stunning cathedrals. Hotel Astrid Caen Centre is a great base to explore the region's famous D-Day memorials.

An itinerary for your France Vacations 

• Days 1–3: A great way to start France getaways is with a walking tour of Paris's iconic sights. The Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Louvre Museum, and the Champs-Élysées can't be missed. Take in panoramic views from atop the steps of Montmartre and catch the city's famed lights on a cruise down the river Seine.
• Days 4–6: Book flights and hotel to France's iconic French Riviera. Relax on the pebbly shores of Nice and rub shoulders with the rich and famous in Cannes and Saint-Tropez.
• Days 7–9: Soak up the atmosphere in cosmopolitan Marseille, then rent a boat or take a hike through one of France's most spectacular national parks, the Calanques. Wrap up your France trip by exploring the quaint streets and harbor of Cassis.

France deals around top cultural events 

Booking your France vacation packages around an important cultural event is a great way to get to know the country better through its traditions. The South of France features several major events that are worth a trip. In the second half of February, the Nice Carnival takes over the city streets. Be ready for big crowds and even bigger parade floats. The Cannes Film Festival occupies the Cannes beachfront in the second half of May. It's largely an industry event, but celebrities do roam around freely so you may spot a few famous faces as you stroll the beach. The Festival d'Avignon is the world's largest theater and performing arts event. The city of Avignon becomes one large open-air theater throughout most of July, with many shows accessible in English. 

Other notable nationwide events around which to book your France flights and hotels include large parades and concerts for Bastille Day on July 14th, France's national holiday. The Tour de France bike race hits the roads of France for 3 weeks every July. The course is rarely the same so make sure to check in advance where the race is heading in 2024. The Fête de la Musique on June 21st is a nationwide celebration of music found in almost every town, big or small. 

Southern France vacations off the beaten path 

If the golden triangle of Nice, Cannes, and Saint-Tropez doesn't appeal, head off the beaten track with Southern France vacations for those seeking a different view. 

Nature fans will love the Gorges du Verdon. Affectionately known as France's answer to the Grand Canyon, these deep gorges make for a wonderful road trip. Stay in tiny villages, swim in deep turquoise lakes, and hike your heart out in some of the most picturesque landscapes in the South of France. To access the Gorges du Verdon, fly into Nice and rent a car. 

The Camargue represents the wild side of Provence. It's a wildlife haven where populations of pink flamingos, wild horses, and black bulls converge. On the to-do list: bike rides through the countryside, horse riding in the marshes and dunes, and long walks on the beach. Fly into Marseille and rent a car to discover the area.
