Our wine-themed holiday ideas in Les Plus Beaux Villages de France

Our wine-themed holiday ideas

Wine… Ah, that much-coveted drink and arguably one of our country’s greatest sources of pride! A gastronomic icon on a par with bread or Camembert, wine is not merely a consumer product: it is an integral part of French culture. Vine-covered hills stretching as far as the eye can see, colours that change with the seasons… Wine-growing has also shaped stunning landscapes that can be admired in every region, whether you’re a wine lover or not!

Across the 900,000 hectares of vineyards spread across more than 80 departments, Les Plus Beaux Villages de France are no exception when it comes to celebrating a craft appreciated around the world – the art of viticulture – and the diversity of French terroirs. From Alsace to Provence, via the Rhône Valley, Burgundy, the Jura and even the Beaujolais, you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to our wine-themed destinations and holiday ideas in Les Plus Beaux Villages de France!

Our suggestions – unlike wine! – are to be enjoyed without moderation!

So, where would you like to begin the wine-tasting adventure that awaits you?
