With tough economic times ahead, holidays are becoming more and more of a luxury. That being said we all need a break from our day to day lives every now and then and if you do your research first you can find some excellent deals and bargains.
For many a holiday isn`t a holiday without the locals speaking a different language or having to change your currency before you travel so maybe it is time to think about a trip into France. A popular, easy and fun holiday destination, France is a top choice for a break away. Whilst many are drawn to the local cuisine, including top class fresh produce, many enjoy the local wines and multiple vineyards that can be explored and sampled.
With Eurotunnel, cross channel ferries, Eurostar and low cost flights offering a wide range of travel options you can custom build your trip to France to suit your own budget and your own schedule. Whether you are travelling with family, friends, as a couple or on your own there will be travel, dining and shopping options to suit everyone.
Taking a ferry may seem a bit of a long journey if you live a distance from any of the ports, but there are many other ways to get to France. For example rather than take a ferry from Plymouth or Southampton and drive to Paris for a romantic get-away, or drive to a London airport to fly to the capital, you can fly from Exeter International Airport to Paris Charles De Gaulle International Airport if you live in that part of the country. All for around £100 depending on the days you choose to travel. If you live in the South or Southwest of England this flight is no more expensive than a flight from a London airport and much less distance to travel to get to your flight.
Of course it is worth considering if you want to drive yourself or use a taxi firm to get you to the airport. It is often cheaper and has advantages to drive yourself, furthermore airport parking isn`t as expensive as you may think. Parking at Exeter Airport offers a pre-bookable long stay option at discounted rates which means you get to save both money and hassle. With an easy start to your travel arrangements you will have even more energy and time to spend exploring the beautiful and elegant surroundings of this popular European country.
