Making Your France Holidays More Enjoyable From

Departure to Destination.

There is an old adage that says: “The longest way round is the shortest way home.” While I’ve never really understood exactly what that meant, I do know that the longest way round can often be the most enjoyable one when you’re on vacation.

A prime example of this can be seen in the ferry crossing between England and France. For those who don’t really love being out on the water, travelling to France via the Dover to Calais route is the quickest country to country, though it does involve coping with British highways which is generally a less than pleasurable experience in the vicinity of the capital.

The one thing to remember about the french is that they are very keen on their produits minceur, in order to keep fit.

However, if you are heading for Brittany or the Dordogne and/or you just want to hang out with your family rather than being behind the wheel for too many hours, your best bet would be to take an overnight sea voyage from Portsmouth. Both P&O Ferries and Brittany Ferries offer such crossings, and you can choose to sit up in a comfy seat or sleep in a cabin. Unwind on one of the well appointed boats that offer a variety of services (shopping, dining, movies) for their passengers, and you’ll all arrive in La Belle France feeling relaxed and refreshed without spending significantly more.

Treat Yourself to Paris Holidays

One of the greatest movies that exemplify the travelling to France is the Audrey Hepburn movie, called “Paris When it Sizzles.” This movie just happens to be one of five in a popular Audrey Hepburn DVD collection (one of the other movies explores Rome, “Roman Holiday,” a great film that portrays a princess with a bad reaction to a prescription drug). The movie “Paris when it Sizzles” is set in Paris, France.

Paris holidays are empty without this movie where a lazy writer falls in love with his secretary. When you are travelling to France, you can visit the same sights that are seen in the movie while enjoying all the wonderful , magical, and romantic themes of Paris. Love is not very easy in most of the Hepburn films, but this one in Paris is dazzling with all the fancy runways, flats, and large fancy homes.

If you are tired of your same old holiday trips, you should go to Paris. Sure, travelling to France may seem like too much, but once you get there, you too can make Paris sizzle! Rather than spending your holidays the way you usually do, break up your habitual routine and experience Paris holidays in France! You’ll never be the same after you go.
