If you are deciding to go on France holidays, it makes a lot of sense to combine it with a trip to Spain. France and Spain share a border and it is very convenient to hop across from one to the other. You will need just one Schengen Visa for both, so there is no need for multiple visas or additional formalities whether you choose France holidays or Spain holidays.

France

France has a lot to offer the outdoor activity seeker, the romanticist, the art lover, the history and cultural enthusiast, or any tourist for that matter. France is home to one of the wonders of the world – The Eiffel Tower. You can even go up the tower and eat at a restaurant, pick up souvenirs or enjoy the magnificent view. The art lover can visit the Louvre, the world famous museum and see the original portrait of the Mona Lisa, by the great artist Leonardo Da Vinci. Visit the marvel of the Notre Dame and witness a true architectural masterpiece.

Your France holiday can include a few days at Disney Land in Paris. If you are a romantic you can enjoy a quiet holiday on the French Riviera or tour the wine country of Bordeaux ...
... and enjoy intimate candlelight dinners with exquisite French wine.

France offers outdoors lovers a whole host of activities such as skiing, snowboarding, cycling, hiking, or just plain open-air bliss. There are activities all the year around, whether you visit France in summer or in winter.

Travelling from France to Spain

Travelling across the border to Spain is easy with the new Eurail Pass. It is a convenient mode of travel and the view that surrounds you on your journey is breathtaking. Once in Spain there are a whole host of activities to enjoy.

Spain

Spain is famous for its sprawling beaches, great weather and overall relaxed atmosphere. These are the perfect ingredients for a lazy and relaxing holiday. You can also take the entire family on your Spain holidays to Port Aventura, a fun and exciting theme park. Spain has its fair share of adventure sports like skiing or snowboarding in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. You can also enjoy scuba diving, hiking, mountain biking, paragliding or horse riding.

Spain does have a lot of art on display from artist like Picasso, or Velazquez who is believed to be the best Spanish artist ever. Enjoy Spain holidays by indulging in fiesta lunches, eating tapas and enjoying a drink, or just enjoying the atmosphere in one of the many cafes. If you want to revel in Spanish culture, visit a bull fight, see the famous Flamenco dance or experience the famous spectacle of ‘running with the bulls’. From a distance of course!

Enjoy France holidays and Spain holidays to truly witness the best of European culture, art, architecture, adventure and cuisine.
