family holidays in France

Please find below a selection of our favourite properties in France that we believe are perfect for families. For more information about France and the full collection of properties we recommend click here.

England's nearest neighbour is proof that you don't have to travel far to experience a truly foreign culture.  In France, holidays offer a feast of architecture, cuisine, viniculture and art – all quite literally on our doorstep.

There are vast untamed natural regions and little fishing villages that epitomise celebrity chic, cities that still set the trends in art and culture and small towns where every mind seems focussed on perfecting the next day's lunch. Our selection of villas in France reflect this diversity, accentuate each area's particular appeal, provide stable and well equipped bases to explore each region as a local, stepping easily into a culture where the art of living – and living well – is key to daily life.

France holidays with Abercrombie & Kent enable you to explore this nearby treasure in luxury and comfort, truly immersing yourself in the people, places and flavours that define France.
