Adventure trips in France

Known for its iconic landmarks, gourmet food and influence in the fashion world, France attracts millions of people from all over the globe each year. With its chic cities, picturesque villages and beautiful beaches, it's easy to see why. Offering something for everyone, you can walk, cycle and immerse yourself in French culture on one of our many adventure holidays in France. Whether you'd prefer to discover the hidden secrets of the French Riviera, canoe on the Dordogne or cycle the Hilltop Villages of Provence, you can choose from a wide range of exciting adventures when you book your activity trip to France.

From Burgundy and Alsace to Brittany and Cevennes, wherever where you stay in this beautiful country, you'll have the opportunity to make wonderful memories.

Looking for off-the-beaten-track walking routes through poppy fields and pretty parkland? The Loire Valley is perfect for you. Or perhaps vineyard tracks, hilltop trails and woodland paths are more suited to you? If so, head to Burgundy. Along the way, you can look forward to fine dining, sampling some of the regional cheeses and sipping on some sensational wine.

Prefer to cycle? Allow one of our adventure holidays in France to take you along Alsace's wine route through medieval villages, allowing time for relaxation at one of the beautiful hotels along the way. If the backroads of Brittany sound more appealing, witness the spectacular Emerald Coast as you ride along paths with stunning surroundings.

Depending on which activity holiday in France you would like to book, flight durations vary. After finding your perfect trip, please read the flight information carefully.
