France Travel Deals!

With all the talk about fuel surcharges and travel being more expensive than ever before, I’m here to tell you that there still are some terrific France travel deals to be had!  There’s nothing like visiting France in the summer or fall, so now’s the time to get searching and find your own France travel deals so that you too can experience this once in a lifetime vacation destination!

Here are three cities (besides Paris) in France that you may want to consider visiting during your own trip to France.

  • Lyon – Lyon is the second largest city in France and is filled with great museums, delicious cuisine and wonderful shops.  Easily reached from Paris, you’ll want to visit the famous Opera of Lyon.  One of the specialties of Lyon is fondue so if you love dipping bread in gooey cheeses or meat in tasty broths, be sure to taste it in Lyon!  Also, if you love antiquing, you cannot go wrong in Lyon.  Check out Quartier Auguste-Comte for some fabulous vintage finds!
  • Avignon – Another great city to visit is Avignon.  About two and a half hours from Paris by train, you’ll love this quaint and beautiful destination.  Take a stroll along the famed Avignon Bridge and walk the rue des Lices and rue Joseph Vernet.  If you like impressionist art, you won’t want to miss the Fondation Angladon-Dubruieaud with an impressive selection of impressionist paintings!
  • Bordeaux – If you are a wine lover, then you must schedule time to visit Bordeaux, the capital of the Gironde.  Bordeaux is much more than wine – this city offers beautiful 18th century buildings with unique stone face sculptures.  You’ll also want to visit the Garonne riverfront with fine 18th century buildings.  You can even take a tour of the Musee National des Douanes.

I try to visit France every few years because it truly is my favorite European country.  I find it offers so much and I discover something new each time I visit.  I hope you find some terrific France travel deals so that you can book your own French adventure!  Bon voyage!
