HAND-VETTED RESORTS
A Lifetime of Holidays in One Country
France is a lifetime of holidays in one country — the romance and grandeur of Paris, the glamour of the Riviera, the lavender and light of Provence, the châteaux of the Loire, the vineyards of Bordeaux and Burgundy, and the peaks of the Alps. Effortlessly elegant and barely across the Channel, it rewards endless returns.
At HighStreet Holidays we don't simply book France — we shape the route: a Paris-and-Riviera combination, a Provence escape or a wine-country tour, by air or fast rail, with the hotels and transfers handled.
With access to a carefully vetted portfolio, from Paris palace hotels to Provençal retreats, we build a France trip with elegance at its heart.
France is effortless elegance, barely across the Channel — Paris, the Riviera, Provence, the vineyards. Few countries reward returning quite so well.
Signature Experiences
Moments That Linger
France rewards the traveller who pairs the city with the country. These are the experiences our clients come home remembering.
Paris
The Louvre, the boulevards, the cafés and the lights — the most romantic city in the world, an hour and a half from London by air or a few by rail.
The French Riviera
Nice, Cannes, Saint-Tropez and the glamour of the Côte d'Azur — beaches, yachts, and the perched village of Èze above the Mediterranean.
Provence
Lavender fields, hilltop villages, markets and rosé — the light and pace that have drawn artists and dreamers for over a century.
The Loire & Châteaux
The fairy-tale châteaux of the Loire Valley and its vineyards — French history and grandeur in its most picturesque setting.
Wine Country
Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne — tastings, grand estates and superb dining in the regions that define fine wine.
The Alps
Chamonix, Courchevel and Megève — world-class skiing in winter and dramatic mountain walking and lakes in summer.

Warm and lively, the peak season for the Riviera and the coast (Provence's lavender peaks in early July) — busy and at peak prices.
AUTUMN
September to October
Warm light, the grape harvest and thinner crowds — a beautiful time for the cities, the wine country and the Riviera.
WINTER
December to March
Festive Paris, fine dining and world-class Alpine skiing — a different, elegant France, with the coast quiet.
