France is ideal for UK holidaymakers

Posted by Linda Davidson


People with Cramer caravan hobs and cookers should consider a holiday to France this summer.


According to ATOUT FRANCE – France Tourism Development Agency, the country is an ideal holiday location for Brits due to its proximity and the wide range of transport options and direct links.


Natalie Goulet, spokeswoman for the organisation, noted that the agency expected the "traditionally popular areas" to continue to attract British families "such as Paris Ile de France, Provence, Rhone-Alps, Riviera, Normandy, Brittany and the Atlantic coast".


She added that the country offers good value for money, as it packs in a range of accommodation including a number of "glamping" sites.


New research from the Co-operative Travel revealed that this summer, Brits will be switching back to more traditional holiday destinations, such as France.


The country is the most popular choice for British tourists and is chosen by 31 per cent of holidaymakers, compared to Italy with 15 per cent and Spain with 11 per cent.
