One of France particularity is its very rich topography allowing you to enjoy a swim during summer and a slide in winter! With 5 different mountain ranges within the country, you’ll be spoilt for choices!⛰️
From world-class ski slopes to cozy après-ski spots, there's something for everyone—whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out.⛷️

One of the best choices would be Chamonix. Located in the heart of the French Alps, it is known for the Mont Blanc, Europe’s highest peak, a paradise for adventurers and nature lovers alike.

Say French, think gastronomy! Nothing says bon appétit better than a festive Christmas meal laid out a la française. Is this tempting spread of a buche noel (yule log), puff pastries, a cheeseboard, scallops, gratin dauphinois (baked potatoes), etc. enough to book a flight to France right away?

The French Alps are a winter favourite in France! Fret not if skiing isn't your thing. You can choose to take a cable car ride, try your hand at trekking, take part in an apres-ski…and when longing for a break, there are always a host of cozy indoor activities to enjoy.

✨ Looking for a storybook Christmas? Welcome to Alsace! Known for its fairy-tale villages, half-timbered houses, and world-famous Christmas markets, this region turns into a real-life winter wonderland during the holidays. 🎅🎨

Stroll through streets filled with the scent of gingerbread and mulled wine, admire handcrafted ornaments, and don’t miss a chance to try the local bredele (Christmas cookies). 🍪🎄

What would you put at the top of your Alsace Christmas wish list?

Everyone loves the wonderful ambiance of Christmas markets !🎄🎇

An enchanting atmosphere perfect for a cozy stroll, enjoying the festive lights, charming wooden chalets, and the scent of spiced mulled wine filling the air. You can’t find a better place to really feel the winter charm!❄️

Even though the most famous christmas market is located in Strasbourg, don’t let it fool you! Most French towns and villages also have wonderful Christmas markets where you can enjoy a similar mood (but less crowded).
You could, for instance, walk around the chalets, a glass of mulled wine in one hand and a candied apple in the other while listening to the gentle sounds of the ocean waves in La Rochelle on the Vieux Port place!
Talk about synesthesia !✨

From cozy intimate villages to the commotion of big cities, Christmas spirit is everywhere so why not get off the beaten track ?

With all the mulled wine making rounds at the Christmas markets, it's no wonder you like something to nibble on! We strongly recommend fries, potato pancakes, waffles (or gaufres, as the French say), gingerbread and a tartiflette (its warm cheese, potatoes and comfort in a bowl!) to hold you over during your stroll.

Provence in the South of France has a very delectable Christmas tradition! For festive meals at the year end, every Provençal house will lay out a spread of not 1, 2 or 5 … but 13 desserts that form an important part of the meal. These desserts can be anything from nuts and candied fruits to a special Christmas cake and you must taste all 13 after enjoying a hearty French meal!
