ACTIVITIES

Snow-filled holidays of course: ski slopes in village-sized resorts harmoniously connected to their environment, cross-country or Nordic skiing – as well as snowshoe excursions, sledding and skijoring…

The joys of winter are not limited to snowsports, though: nature outings, cultural excursions, Christmas markets – and all our discoveries of creative workshops: painting, weaving, cooking, writing, wine-tasting, blacksmiths, photography… the perfect time for your talents to flourish in cosy and beautiful hideaways!

SUNNY PLACES AND BEAUTIFUL LIGHTS !

We glow with the light of a large sun in the winter months! Leave the gloomy urban grit and grey, the Underground and the traffic jams, the claustrophobic sky… Come along and discover where you can recharge with the beautiful light of southern France.

Enjoy crisp, pure, vitalising air, untouched nature refracting an infinite variety of colours and tones – and the intense blues of the sky, lakes and rivers… And if the clouds make an appearance, fear not, the horizon will be broad with paint-worthy nuances – a photographic delight.
