Savoir vivre
France is made for active holidays: diverse landscapes, indulgent routes and a unique way of life accompany you at every stage. Whether on foot or by bike, between coastlines, wine regions and mountains, movement, culture and gastronomy come together in a truly special way.
Cities such as Lyon, Lille and Paris delight with their culture and diversity. Yet it would all be only half as appealing without the French themselves: effortlessly stylish, masters of the "savoir vivre", pleasure-loving and irresistibly charming.

Culture and gastronomy
Prehistoric heritage can be found in the cave paintings of Lascaux in the Dordogne, which is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In southern France, the Romans left behind an immense cultural legacy. Wine culture also partly dates back to Roman times. The wine regions of Beaujolais, Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, the Rhône Valley and Provence, along with their wines, enjoy worldwide fame.
The same is true of French cuisine. However, it doesn’t always have to be fine dining: a piece of cheese with baguette or a croque monsieur can be just as delicious and can easily be accompanied by a glass of good wine.

Mediterranean vibes
In the south of France, a diverse natural landscape awaits you: the Côte d’Azur entices with its sparkling coastline and Mediterranean charm. Provence will captivate you with its lavender fields, rolling hills and charming villages. Wild landscapes, flamingos and vast lagoons can be found in the Camargue – perfect for both relaxed exploration and more active experiences.
And in the Mediterranean, an island full of contrasts awaits: rugged mountains, hidden coves and unspoilt nature make Corsica a true paradise for hikers.

Coastal scenery, culture and indulgence
France’s Atlantic coast reveals an impressive diversity: from wild Brittany with its rugged cliffs, pounding waves and striking lighthouses to the vast sandy beaches in the west, it offers ideal conditions for memorable hiking and cycling tours.
Inland, the Loire Valley is a favourite among cyclists, who delight in exploring its magnificent châteaux. Gentle river landscapes and charming villages provide a perfect blend of history and nature at every stage.

Regions full of charm and tradition
The Alps captivate with their majestic peaks, crystal-clear mountain lakes and a wide variety of routes. The Pyrenees are equally unspoilt, while the Auvergne, in the heart of France, is considered a true hidden gem with its lush volcanic landscapes and peaceful atmosphere.
Food lovers are also in for a treat: Alsace enchants with its vineyards, half-timbered villages and distinctive regional charm. For adventure, the Ardèche impresses with spectacular gorges and unforgettable canoeing experiences.
