Best bit of France?

[Howmanysleepstilchristmas]

It’s the easiest country for my family to travel to for holidays, so which area should we visit? Where has the best scenery/ friendliest people/ feels most different to the Uk/ anywhere else?

Brittany is lovely if it's your first French holiday. Easy ferry links, not too far to drive at he other end, beautiful coastline, pretty towns.

We’ve been to Brittany and loved it! Also stayed in the Ardennes and near Paris. I love France! I’m hoping someone points me towards some hidden jewels.

The Camargue right down on the South coast feels like another world. We went pony trekking on the famous Camargue horses and saw the wild flamingoes and the semi-wild Camargue cattle. We saw the red rice being harvested and got to try some for dinner later. We stayed at Arles and on the same holiday we visited the Pont du Gard aqueduct.
Provence is beautiful, especially when the lavender fields are in full bloom. You can visit perfumeries and lavender farms. Another must-see in Provence is the ochre trail in Roussillon where the cliffs are streaked with red and gold.
The Ardeche is stunning, especially exploring the gorges and canyons. The Pont d'Arc and surrounding caves are spectacular and have to be seen ( or googled) to be believed.

The Dordogne is a beautiful area and loads of brilliant towns - Sarlat has gorgeous markets. You can canoe down the rivers and the water is clear and scenery is so lovely.

Totally depends what kind of scenery/climate you like. If you try to speak French, people will usually be much friendlier than if you don't. Further South feels more different from the UK because the climate and so the architecture/lifestyle is so different, but Normandy and Brittany are beautiful. I really like the French alps, Languedoc and Provence but the last two can be really hot in August.
