From the ‘joie de vive’ of the Cannes film festival in the South of France to champagne tasting in a vintage châteaux or maybe skiing in the three valleys, there’s certainly a lot to do. With Paris only two hours away on Eurostar , France is a great weekend destination. Student Flights sell cheap flights to France along with Eurostar offers and ski trips.
When to visit?
Generally speaking, France is warmer than Britain , especially in the south so it’s an ideal place to go in the summer for a weekend. Paris is a perfect escape at any time of year. Dec – March are usually the best months for France ’s ski resorts.
What else is there to do?
Hire a car and travel through the glorious countryside, feast on fine food and wine, visit the stunning scenery of the south and live ‘en Provence ’ in Avignon (where Van Gogh painted his famous sunflowers).
