From city to city there is always a plane. It can be expensive but it is quick and convenient. Paris has flights in and out of most all cities and villages you would want to visit.

One of the most common ways to get around France is by rail. Highly recommended. On the schedules, you will commonly see a bicycle symbol, this means that you can carry a bicycle on board the railway with you. Bicycling is still one of the most popular ways to travel in France and many commute long distances by bicycling the short distances to the railways to take the longer journeys by. In countryside areas of France, you may find the railway doesn’t go that far.

However do not despair, there will be buses to aid you in your journey. You can always hire a car. It will be more convenient, giving you exclusive freedom, but it will be expensive and finding a car park may not always be that easy to obtain.

The quickest and easiest way is always by air. No matter where you are in the world or which part of France you desire to go to, there is always a plane travelling to and from. But if you can, and you’re coming from abroad, take more time to travel to France and cruise.

If you are coming from the UK, there is no better way to get to France than by Eurostar, or Euro tunnel. Departing from Kings Cross St Pancraas, the Eurostar takes just over two hours to get to the center of Paris.

From other european destinations, its easy to get to France by rail and coach.

There are a lot of really fine cruise ships and lower key affordable cruise ships to choose from. Whichever your flavor, a cruise is a holiday in itself with the reward of France at the end. However if you are already in Europe or choose to fly to some other part of Europe before entering France, then by all means take a slower journey to France by rail.

Yes it will take longer and add days to your holiday but there is nothing more rewarding than the countryside by rail.

You’ll not find better skiing in the world than the French Alps and Pyrenees. Finding yourself in France in the winter months will be a winter sportsman’s dream, it will also be plentiful with company. Most of the French seem to take their holiday around mid-July to August or February and March, this is the best time of year to tour the French cities and towns.

However, be aware that because of the lower populations during these times, it isn’t uncommon to find the shops, museums and stores on limited hours. Overall, the best time to visit France is in the early to late spring to early summer. The temperatures are perfect during this time of year and the coasts and beaches golden. Go early for the smaller crowds.

When it comes to food it doesn’t really matter when you visit. The French take dining seriously and even consider it to be an art. Food affects the brain as well as the senses.
