luxury holidays in France

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.

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.

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.

The mood of this mighty brooding country changes dramatically from place to place. A traditional France holiday favourite is the Dordogne, where fairytale castles overlook an ultimately civilised patchwork of vineyards and duck farms, bastide farmhouses, restaurants and villages.

In southwest Provence the world of Peter Mayle still lives on in an agrarian landscape unchanged by the ages, where farmers toil to perfect the ingredients for the traditional menus of local restaurants. On France's sunny southern coast, medieval villages are tiered over the clear blue waters of the Mediterranean sea and small pastel-painted fishing harbours are thronged with Europe's most fashionable elite – perfect for a chic and relaxed France holiday experience.

We also travel further, taking your France holiday experience to the fortified mountaintop villages of Cathar country, the rolling surf of the Atlantic coast, the vineyard villages of Beaujolais and the quiet crinkled coast of Brittany. France, á la carte.
