An introduction to French Cities

Those in the know will tell you that holidays in French cities are top of the league when it comes to city breaks. High culture, fabulous food and even the odd breath-taking beach – get set to become a full-on Francophile with French cities holidays.

Put all thoughts of stripey-shirted, garlic-scented Frenchmen aside – travel to French cities is all about discovering where France got its well-earned reputation for sophistication. Amid the patch-work countryside, snow-dusted mountains and roaming rivers of this enormous country, you'll find thriving urban centres, where Renaissance regality mixes with the latest in modern living. You just can't go wrong!

The jewel in the crown is undoubtedly Paris – home of fashion, romance and the fine art of whiling away afternoons in a pavement cafe. And with some of the world's best galleries, iconic sights and Disneyland Paris thrown in, Paris is an almost impossible act to follow. But don't let the French capital dazzle you too much – or you'll miss the other French finds.

Like the delights of the Cote d'Azur, where French city breaks combine sun, sea and style. Take a peek at the chic streets of Nice – it's all about living the high life, no matter your budget. Or how about the gloss and glamour of Cannes – a must for celebrity spotting whilst topping up that tan. Head north and uncover that Flemish gem Lille – fanatical about music, art and eating out.

Whether you're planning ahead or hopping across the Channel last minute, holidays in French cities will have you chanting 'Vivre La France' before the end of day one.
