Winter holiday fun in France

Why not get fit and have family fun in France this winter! (not necessarily skiing). Or get unfit in front of a cosy log fire. Or maybe both!

Have you thought of of Snowshoeing holidays, igloo building, full moon or evening treks, or overnight adventures when you eat and sleep in a traditional mountain hut in France? Or else go for the cross country skiing, paragliding or dog sledding option. Aimed at people who have yet to try a winter sport this is an ideal introduction to the wide range of winter options.
A high-quality, action-packed Chamonix adventure holiday with 2 or 3 activities each day but always with the emphasis on tasting and enjoyment which does not require decatholon-level fitness!

If you’re into snowboarding then you’d be interested in a book by former British champion Chris Moran who picks his favourite rides. View some of them in this Guardian article

There’s a couple of places in France I’ve put in my family favourites.
Get away just to be cosy!

France is a Great Place for a Holiday

France is the most popular destination in the world. Over 60 million people a year, roughly the equivalent of the population, visit France, making tourism the country's number one industry.
One of the reason France is so popular is the vast number of virtually unspoilt villages, from Provence to Bretagne, from Pays-Basque to Perigord and through to Alsace. From Normandie to Roussillon, Fleurie in Beaujolais, up to the Chartreuse and across to Bordeaux, you will find amazingly varied villages and towns. Ffortified villages, villages perched on rocky peaks like birds of prey or the serene flat landscape villages. French villages full of eventful stories, beautiful markets full of fresh produce, boulangerie and of course the cafes and bars, the steady witnesses of the everyday French life. Brick or stone walls, towers and vaults, lanes and stairs, gardens and tiny squares in a symphony of colors. Gauloises and red wine, Ricard or Brandy and Champagne lubricate the French Joie de vie and all this makes holidaying in this country a great experience.
