Holiday ideas in France

You can have a special escapade this summer in France with unique experiences in Paris, Bordeaux and Toulose to make your vacation an extra memorable one. Details posted here are sourced from a print advertisement of the official website of tourism in France.

In Paris
Board the gourmet bus-Bustronome to discover Paris, enjoying beautiful sights of historic monuments while feasting on a delectable spread complemented with wine.

Visit the Fragonard Museum of perfumes, breathe in the exotic aromas and enroll for a special perfume-making course which will allow you to create your very own signature frangrance.

Make an outing to high end department retail stores including the luxury retail outlet La Vallée Village.

You can spend the night out on a river barge, selecting between the options of enjoying a drink, an open-air concert or staying out all night through. The barges are anchored by the Notre-Dame, the Canal d’Ourcq and the banks of the Seine – the choice is yours.




In Bordeaux
Visit the unique Mirroir d’Eau (reflecting pool) that has a reflection of the world renowned Palais de Bourse monument. In this pool, the water recedes underground and returns to form a cloud of mist. Like an enchanted fairy tale experience!

Do some happy shopping at what is famously known as the Golden Triangle, the space created by the Alley de Tourny, the Course Clemenceau and the Cours de l’Intendance.

Wine and culture is the centre of attention at the newly launched Cité du Vin, a place to check out boutiques, attend workshops and enjoy events.

Don’t miss on visiting St Emilion, the famous winter resort, the Dune of Pilat, the world’s highest sand dune and Biarritz, the most popular spot for surfing.

In Toulosse
Discover heritage monuments and well known landmarks, including hotels and châteaux through a leisurely boat cruise.

Enjoy a family outing to the Cité de l’Espace, a fun adventure park where you can have a super time on simulator rides and encounters with spacecraft. There are also regular screenings on the large screen at the IMAX theatre.

Those who are crazy about anything & everything related to aircraft must include on  their itinerary a visit to the Aerospacia museum. Here you not only can view the displays of aircraft but also navigate your own flight during a flight simulator session.

Come within touching distance of the sky at Pic du Midi, which is approximately two and half hours from Toulose. A quick cable car ride will give you breath-taking views of the Pyrénées from the summit. 

If you happen to be visiting between the months of April and October, you can enjoy the special ‘Starry Nights’ package that includes a visit to the museum, fine dining at a restaurant for a delectable dinner, a gorgeous view of the sunset and, finally an awesome experience as you look above at the stars sprinkled in the night sky.
