Our French rail holidays enable you to embrace the warm spirit of the south: travel through landscapes of lyrical beauty on a choice of journeys by rail linking elegant and historic cities. Stay at authentic, hand-picked city hotels, from where you can enjoy delicious food, splendid wines, and great art and architecture.
France’s southern regions have a distinct appeal, suffused by a renowned quality of light and a sun-drenched atmosphere that have drawn artists and writers for generations. Our France rail holidays are self-guided, allowing you to travel at your own pace while soaking up the seductive charms of Le Midi. Our detailed notes ensure you will come across sights, scents and flavours that will leave a lasting imprint on the memory.
We take great pride in our route guides, updating them constantly so that you have the most current information and can enjoy the richest possible holiday experience. Walking at a pace that suits you, you can rely on them to steer you from A to B, and fill you in about places of interest and local culture along the way.
Your holiday, your way
Not being part of a group means you can stay in intimate hotels and guesthouses, and gives you so much freedom. Freedom to choose your start date, the length of your holiday (feel free to add extra nights) and your travel route – we’ll happily book a bespoke travel package for you, either by air, by rail or by ferry.
