Area of Alsace, on the eastern slopes of the Vosges Mountains near the German border offering good Rieslings wines. Burgundy region, on the eastern slopes of the ranges stretching from Dijon to Beaune with its renowned red wines. Cotes du Rhone region, set in the Rhone Valley south of the city Lyon, offering many winery visits through the country region.

Suggestions include the Italian Riviera with its deck chair beaches, Portafino where the catwalk plays an important part, Sanremo where cocktails are the shout of the day, Burnham Market where you see the oyster shelling on the beach, Split for the rugged coast and beauty, St Tropez has its artist sitting on the breakwaters and Carry le Rouet is just fine for an evening sundowner, these are but a few holiday destinations you can be driven to on our singles holidays or small group trips.
