Places to see on your travels in France

For almost guaranteed sun in the summer, head south of Perpignan to Argeles sur Mer. It is the typical family holiday with great beaches, a warm Med and plenty of opportunity to relax and enjoy. It is also where the French holiday so it has something to recommend it.

Not far inland is the medieval town of Carcassonne, devilishly hot on a summer’s day, but come dusk when most visitors have gone, it transforms into a magical fairytale world as the sun sets behind La Cite, the inner walled city.

Like most of France, the Bordeaux region does not disappoint when it comes to refreshments. There is also Lourdes, where pilgrims come to be healed, and Dune du Pilat, the largest sand dune in Europe, measuring nearly 3kms long and 500m wide...and counting.
