DISCOVER LES VOSGES

Round summits shrouded in mystery, amongst the lakes and forests

The charm of these magical mountains lies in their ever-changing nature. What takes your fancy? The soft lines of the mountains’ blue crests, the secret of the lakes, the rejuvenating energy of the forests, luminous and thick, or the “joie de vivre” of little villages tucked in the dip of the valleys.

The Vosges have their own culture, born of wood, water, and the textile tradition, they have created a rich and enticing heritage. Impressive or charming, always spellbinding, it offers you the layered history of a region that was the border of the Franco-Prussian war of 1871, known to the French as “La ligne bleue des Vosges”.

This territory lies not far from the German and Swiss borders, so when you head off on your hikes, you can enjoy cross-cultural interests and activities. Rather than jagged peaks, you will find rounded summits. Hence the name of the famous summit, “Ballon” – ball in French!

Mystic and magical, hike up the slopes past lakes and through forests whilst soaking up the rich cultural heritage that this green, blue and white world has to offer.

What to do in Les Vosges? Why not take a look at the Route of the Abbeys, or even the bracing winter holiday options?

DISCOVER THE MOUNTAINS OF AUVERGNE

POWERFUL VOLCANOES, CHARMING VILLAGES

Auvergne has so many facets, it is an absolute joy to discover all her beautiful diversity!
Of course, it has its fascinating, abrupt, yet serene volcanic peaks that create an air of Japan in the heart of France. This is part of the ancient geological core of the country, and the source of most French rivers, with its fertile soil and volcanic stone. From this base, head out to discover the surrounding area and you won’t be disappointed: an abundance of chateaux, solid and silent churches, and villages with dark yet golden stone – always illuminated by flowers.

Interwoven with the branches of Chemin St. Jacques de Compostelle, or the Pilgrim’s Trail, this natural, artisanal, cultural and historical area offers an escape far from the bustle of the city. The sleeping volcanoes and charming villages of Auvergne invite you to discover their natural and cultural delights.

DISCOVER THE ARDENNES

A river, forests, and history 

Get lost in the Ardennes to truly find yourself. Embrace the warm welcome of these rivers, trees, history and tradition, and discover France’s rich literary and historic past.

This place is mysterious, even to the French people, and offers the true meaning of “remote”, nestled in the ancient mountains between France and Belgium. It is steeped in history, as the birthplace of the iconic French poet Rimbaud as well as the site of many battles and fortresses used during the 1871 Franco-Prussian War.

So close to the Belgium border, this is the ideal destination for beer enthusiasts. Under the perfect temperature of the shade of the woods, this is the perfect place to get away from everything, hop on a bike, or put on your walking shoes, and discover good beer and history!

DISCOVER AUBRAC

Infinite horizons

Discovering Aubrac means discovering the true spiritual core of France: ancient stone and steadfast scenery that has been shaped and battered by the elements, creating a space for scenic hikes and an idyllic escape.

A piece of Mongolia in France, this grassy desert land is the source of much ancient religious heritage, a diverse ecosystem and – because this is France – delicious cheese! It is even home to its own special alcohol, Gentiane, made from the root of the yellow flowers that grow here. Like its landscape and its spirit, Gentiane takes years to mature, making the region even more unique and mystical.

To add to its air of seclusion, the winter brings snow, which falls on the quiet winding roads making Aubrac even more untouchable and remote. Another world hidden within France, there are no impressively high summits, just age-old vibrations and infinite space which will leave you wondering which continent you are in.

We invite you to this magical place but warn you that you will not leave as the same person you were when you arrived.

Can you already picture yourself there? Simply get in touch, we’ll turn it into your dream holiday!

DISCOVER BURGUNDY

DISCOVER FRANCHE-COMTÉ

A wild, wonderful and warm world of its own

Known as “French Canada” this lush, green landscape with its pastures and plateaux is an undiscovered gem even for the French. It has so much to offer from Nordic cross-country skiing to perusing the cantor (?) spires and characteristic architecture of its villages.

You can, of course, also enjoy the delicious cheeses of the area, such as the iconic comté.

Neighbouring Switzerland, it shares some of its climate, ideal for those who enjoy a fresher, milder holiday, and its cultural richness, including watchmaking craftmanship.

For those with a more adventurous streak, take on the outdoor activities and see if you can spot the native lynx while you’re at it!
