France vacations 2024 & 2025
The birthplace of Versailles and Sun King Louis XIV's grand ambitions, and the cradle of radical creative movements from Impressionism to New Wave cinema: France has long been a game changer. Our specialists can show you how to explore the country that has turned the good life into an art form. And they’d argue that, even today, no other capital offers quite the same architectural homage to beauty, and patina of romance, as Paris .
Our specialists can craft a vacation to France that takes in its landscapes, from the mountains of the Rhône-Alpes to Provence’s lavender fields and the Riviera’s Mediterranean. They’ll also include the country’s historic sites, like the chateaux that stud the Loire Valley and the D-Day landing beaches in Normandy. Then, gastronomy-wise, they can point you in the direction of the best local produce markets, AOC-designated wineries and one-off experiences, not just in culinary hubs like Bordeaux and Lyon, but across the whole country.

Useful information for planning your vacation in France
The official language of France is French. English is widely spoken in hotels and popular visitor destinations.
The currency of France is the euro (€). You can buy euro before you travel or use an ATM to withdraw cash on arrival. All cities and larger towns have ATMs, and hotels, restaurants, and larger shops all accept credit cards.
France is renowned for its food, and while here you can enjoy rich cheeses, fine wines, delicate macarons, and fresh bread. From creamy Camembert and rich Roquefort, to sparkling Champagne and bold merlot, France is an epicurean delight.
Normandy is known for its shellfish and Calvados (apple brandy). Brittany is renowned for its crêpes, while to the south, the food is distinctly Mediterranean with lots of garlic, olives, and fresh vegetables used in signature Provençal dishes such as bouillabaisse (fish soup) and ratatouille (stewed vegetables).
Coffee is taken seriously in France and watching the world go by as you linger over a coffee is a national pastime. Wine varies widely from region to region and a visit to a local vineyard reveals the generations of care and refinement that has gone into local vintages.
By law, restaurants and bars are required to include a 15% service charge on all bills, so tipping is not necessary. For exceptional service, you can leave a small extra tip of about 5-10%. Taxi drivers and porters don’t expect a tip but will appreciate the gesture. It’s customary to tip tour guides and private drivers but this is at your discretion. Your specialist can advise on appropriate amounts closer to your trip.
For the latest travel advice for France, including entry requirements, health information, and the safety and security situation, please refer to the State Department website .
A land of fine food, high fashion, and a many-layered history, France offers everything from medieval villages and historic chateaux to world-renowned art and illustrious vineyards.
You could begin in Paris people watching from a pavement cafe, touring the Louvre or Musée D’Orsay, then taking a private tour of Chateau du Versailles . Follow it with a visit to Claude Monet’s house and lily gardens , a tour through the vineyards and chateaux of the Loire Valley, or maybe a visit to the Champagne region to learn about the provenance of this renowned sparkling wine.
You could explore giant dunes and go for an oyster tasting on a boat tour at Cap Ferrat, learn to make macarons with a French pastry chef, take a walking tour of medieval Annecy , or go hiking near Mont Blanc . There’s so much to see and do, you’ll be spoilt for choice.
In France, you can stay in historic mansions, private villas, Parisian townhouses, and medieval country homes. Timeless elegance, fine food, and good wine are hallmarks of a stay in France and the country’s heritage architecture provides some wonderfully memorable options when it comes to finding a place to stay.
For example, you could stay in a luxuriously renovated half-timbered farmhouse in Normandy, a 12th-century convent in Provence, a stately 15th-century chateau in the Loire Valley, or a five-star hotel set in a historic mansion in Lyon’s old town.
If you’d prefer an urban retreat, you could opt for a luxurious Parisian hotel or a sleek boutique hotel with a modern, minimalist style. In the mountains, you’ll find chic Alpine lodges , and in the wine regions, expansive wine estates. To get some ideas, browse our collection of places to stay in France .
Some of France’s most popular destinations include Paris, the Loire Valley, Normandy’s D-Day beaches, Bordeaux, and Provence. In Paris , you’ll find a city as wildly beautiful and sophisticated as its reputation suggests with a thriving cafe culture and world-renowned monuments such as Notre Dame cathedral, the Louvre, and the Eiffel Tower to visit.
The chateaux, vineyards, and medieval villages of the Loire Valley offer historic sights and gourmet food experiences, while the half-timbered towns and poignant D-Day beaches make Normandy a popular destination. To the south, the medieval hilltop villages of Provence and the glitzy beach towns of the French Riviera vie for attention with the wine regions around Bordeaux and the Dordogne , while to the east the Alps rise majestically into jagged, snow-capped peaks.
It takes around seven and a half hours to fly from the East Coast of the US to France, and around 11 hours from the West Coast.
The time zone in France is UTC+1 hour. Daylight Savings Time is observed from late-March to late-October.
The best way to get around in France is on the country’s efficient network of high-speed trains, known as the TGVs. If you’re short on time, it may also be worth considering internal flights.
US citizens don’t need a visa for stays of less than 90 days in France or across the wider Schengen area.
Speak to your doctor for immunization advice for France and ensure you’re up to date with routine vaccinations at home. You can also check the recommended vaccinations by visiting the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website .
Your passport should be valid for a minimum of three months beyond your departure date from France or the Schengen area and have at least one blank page.

Our trip was terrific and working with Zicasso was amazing. The responsiveness while planning the trip and during the vacation was superb. Everything ran smoothly, from the pick-up at the airport to all the guided tours. We were very happy with the overall experience.
Lisa's Travel Agency
Based on 40 reviews
We worked with Zicasso's travel specialist for our trip to Alsace during the winter carnival. She provided us with so many things to enjoy, like the hotels and private, small-group excursions in Strasbourg and Colmar. She also provided vegan restaurant recommendations as my wife is vegan (although in Colmar, one had reverted to a tea-only service when we wanted dinner). The hotel in Strasbourg was excellent. The staff were great and the breakfast had lots of options that met our needs.All the guides were good. The tours of Obernai and Selestat, as well as Haut-Koenigsbourg Castle, were very interesting and informative. This was probably the highlight of our trip and is highly recommended. In Colmar, we were so overwhelmed and disappointed by the ridiculous overcrowding. All that we could see were people. In my opinion, the number of people needs to be restricted as at times, it was dangerous. Having been to Colmar many times, I was so disappointed as you could barely get around, and getting into any restaurant was almost impossible. Our guide gave us a walking tour of the town. Fortunately, he knew some quieter streets. The hotel was OK, but on the first night, we woke up to no power. The small group tour to the winery and local villages was OK, but still so very crowded. At the hotel at Mulhouse on our last day, we had a small suite, which was nice. Generally, we still enjoyed our trip.

Eric planned the perfect holiday in France. Our driver was waiting for us on arrival. Off to Normandy for our first three nights, with a quick stop at Monet's garden at Giverny. Our guide brought the water lilies to life. We checked in at an amazing five-star hotel. Do not miss either of their two Michelin-star restaurants. It's a short walk into Port-en-Bessin-Huppain, where you will find many restaurants. We spent two days exploring everything Normandy and World War 2 with an exceptional guide. Paris did not disappoint. We hit the ground running. Eric arranged a tour of Paris by car. The evening dinner cruise on the River Seine was definitely a highlight of the trip, as were beautiful views of the city lit up at night, including the Eiffel Tower. I had no idea how beautiful the Palace and Gardens of Versailles are - the restaurant on-site by the lake with rowboats is wonderful. Of course, the guide matters - she was the best! If you're a foodie, make sure you schedule a cooking class with our chef. Shopping at the local markets is an adventure in itself. I've been able to recreate the meal back in the States. We chose to explore the Champagne houses on this trip. Both were exceptional and yes, we brought home four bottles. In between houses, we had the most wonderful lunch with a champagne flight at Au 36 in Hautvillers. A trip to Paris would not be complete without visiting the Louvre and Orangerie museums. We completed our holiday with a flute of champagne at the top of the Eiffel Tower! Eric and the guides made perfect restaurant recommendations. I most definitely recommend him and the travel agency!
Sophie's Travel Agency
Based on 39 reviews
Thank you to Zicasso for pairing us with our travel agency and their representative, who was wonderful and attentive. She checked in on us during the trip and surprised us with complimentary champagne for our 30th anniversary! She made sure everything during our 14 days around London, Jersey (an English Channel Island), Normandy, and Paris was very smooth, with professional tours, private drivers, and seamless connection points. We couldn't have asked for better private and small-group guides, and I highly recommend them all. The guide in London was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and flexible while showing us around Soho and downtown. Another guide gave us background on past and present events for the tour of Windsor Castle. He was hilarious and an absolute treasure. Our other guide was a fantastic historian and showed us around Mont St. Michel on its 1,000th anniversary. Another guide took us on the most delicious Normandy cheese, cider, and Calvados tour, educating us on the processes. Our Giverny guide got us into Monet's Garden early, before the crowds, allowing for gorgeous pictures. Lastly, our St. Germain Secret Food tour guide took us to a Basque restaurant, where food and wine were so good you never want to leave.

Our Zicasso travel partner went out of their way to plan our trip on short notice and did a fabulous job. Their recommendations for our itinerary and accommodations were spot-on. The driver got us safely from place to place through bad traffic and weather conditions, thus enabling us to enjoy our packed agenda, and the local tour guides were amazingly knowledgeable and accommodating.
Sabine's Travel Agency

Zicasso’s travel agency is great. The transfers were well scheduled and we loved the 24-hour chat service the company offered. We used it a few times and they got back to us with the help we needed right away. Working with our travel agent to plan our trip to France was so easy. She was able to meet all of our needs. Our trip was fantastic! The hotels were beautiful, clean, and, most importantly, in great locations! We were able to walk to most of the sights we wanted to see. The tours she put together for us were wonderful. We made memories for a lifetime.
Manon's Travel Agency
Based on 171 reviews
My friend and I had Zicasso’s travel agency plan a girls’ trip to Paris. We had both been there before and wanted to see and do things we hadn't in the past. She planned a fantastic adventure for us, exposing us to parts of the city we hadn't explored. When we had a blip on a trip to Champagne, it was fixed, and the rest of the day went without a hitch. She arranged for driver pick-ups, which allowed for our mornings to be relaxing, arriving at our planned destinations on time. All the guides were knowledgeable and friendly. The hotel she recommended was well located in the sixth arrondissement, perfect for getting around.

This Month's Feature Destination
Bordeaux & st émilion.
The Bordeaux region and the West Coast of France are becoming more and more requested as destinations by our clients. Up until now, we had been working with the same hotels, guides and suppliers, but Covid really shook things up and suddenly we didn’t have the same contacts and in some cases no contacts at all!
A series of phone calls rectified the essentials, but each time we spoke to people, it seemed that they always had a new property, vineyard or experience to tell us about. My curiosity was piqued, so I hopped in my car and set off on a trip that was to take me from Bordeaux to the Medoc to Saint-Émilion, Cognac, La Rochelle and Île de Ré. And I ended up re-discovering this fantastic destination in a whole new light. - By Director, Philip Haslett

Enjoy a leisurely cruise along the River Seine
As the scenic centrepiece of Paris, you can’t miss exploring the iconic River Seine.

Our top 5 things to do in Paris
With so many incredible Paris attractions to choose from, we’ll show you the very best things to do in Paris, from the beautiful Saint-Sulpice to the original Parisian cabaret.
Musée Rodin
Located just steps away from the Eiffel Tower, you can’t miss the spectacular Musée Rodin. Founded in 1916 by Auguste Rodin himself, the museum features the artist’s incredible sculptures within an 18th-century rocco mansion and a stunning three-hectare garden, along with his personal collection of paintings, photographs and ancient artefacts.
Paris Opera & Palais Garnier
If you want to experience the height of Parisian opulence, it’s got to be the Palais Garnier. This extraordinary building is a 1,979-seat opera house constructed in the late 19th-century, and is renowned as the setting for The Phantom of the Opera. Today you can discover its magnificent treasures or even spend a glitzy night at the opera or ballet.
Grand Palais
Located right across from the Champs-Élysées, the Grand Palais is an icon of Paris with its giant glass ceiling and Beaux-Arts style architecture. Its interior is even more thrilling, with national art galleries, science museums and exhibition halls all held under the famous dome, and you can easily spend a day or two here.
Best museums in Paris
When you travel Paris with Trafalgar, we’ll make sure you get your fill of the best Paris museums, from the iconic Louvre to the magnificent Opéra Garnier.
Ratatouille
Ratatouille is the ultimate French vegetarian dish, loved by all for its heartwarming local flavors. It’s essentially a vegetable stew, made with a rich tomato sauce and a rainbow of veggies like zucchini, eggplant and squash, and herbs like basil, garlic and thyme. One bite and you’ll fall in love with the home-cooked ratatouille of Paris.
One of France’s most famous recipes, Coq au Vin features wine-braised chicken served alongside ingredients like mushrooms and bacon. Across the country you will try many regional versions of this comforting dish, which translates fittingly to “rooster/cock with wine”.
French cuisine celebrates both savory and sweet ingredients, not just in the form of croissants. Find true street-food joy in the popular dessert of crêpes, with strawberries, Nutella, bananas and lemon curd just some of the toppings loved by locals and travelers alike. Or, try the national specialty crêpes Suzette with orange zest and caramelized butter.
Best food in Paris
Our Paris holidays are filled with the legendary Parisian cuisine, and we’ll show you all the best places to try your French favorites from fresh croissants to delicate desserts.

French phrasebook
It’s a good idea to learn some common French phrases before arriving in Paris, and the locals are sure to appreciate your efforts to learn their mother tongue.
Camera & extra SD card
Paris is full of soul-stirring moments you’ll want to capture forever, so be sure to pack a few extra SD cards for all those special snaps and videos.
Comfortable shoes
Whether you’re wandering through the Louvre, or strolling along the River Seine, you’ll need a comfy pair of shoes on your Paris tour.
Formal wear
If you want to hit the town in Paris with a Moulin Rouge show or a night at the opera, be sure to bring a glamorous outfit to fit in with the chic locals.
All-weather clothing

Virée au Tyrol avec les "Voyages Christine". Hôtel confortable, accueil chaleureux, service impeccable, repas délicieux, personnel très agréable et souriant. Petits déjeuners variés. Les excursions étaient très bien organisées. Le chauffeur de la société Ponsot était super, et il nous a appris beaucoup de choses sur le Tyrol. Bravo. Je recommande.
Pour avoir voyager plusieurs fois avec voyage Christine, je trouve tout parfait sauf lors de notre séjour à Florence l'hôtel restaurant désastreux .
Très bonne organisation des voyages j’en ai fait plusieurs et j’y retournerai personnel compétent.

Nursing needs 'still as great' as 2022, when use of travel nurses started, says Vitalité CEO
Dr. france desrosiers issues 2nd statement this week amid criticism of $158m in contracts with private agency.
Social Sharing
The severe staffing shortage that prompted Vitalité Health Network to pay a private agency about $158 million to hire out-of-province nurses in 2022 is just as bad now as it was then, according to the CEO.
Dr. France Desrosiers made the comment in a written statement issued Friday — her second statement this week amid criticism of the high cost to taxpayers for these so-called travel nurses and the fact they're paid roughly six times what New Brunswick nurses earn.
"The gradual reduction in agency services has been planned and has begun, but it would be impossible to do without them completely right now, given the immediate needs that are still as great as they were in 2022," she said.
At the same time, Desrosiers said the number of new hires has exceeded the number of departures since June 2022, which will enable Vitalité to gradually phase out the use of agency services by winter 2026.
Desrosiers declined an interview Friday and a spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request to clarify.
In 2022, the staffing situation was "critical" because of the departures and early retirements during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Desrosiers — "to the point where we were facing imminent emergency department and even facility closures."
She reiterated Vitalité had no choice but to resort to travel nurses."We had our backs against the wall."
She also pointed some blame at the provincial government.
"Could the use of agency staff have been avoided? Possibly, with judicious planning by all partners over the past 10 to 15 years."
Vitalité had "the green light from the Department of Health" for agency staff, Desrosiers stressed Friday.
Department was unaware of 2 contracts worth $138M
On Wednesday, deputy health minister Eric Beaulieu told a legislative committee the government was aware of Vitalité's first contract with Toronto-based Canadian Health Labs. It was informed of the other two after the fact, late in the 2022-23 fiscal year.
The first contract ran from July 29, 2022, until Sept. 23, 2023, for a maximum of $20 million, and provided a mix of registered nurses and licensed practical nurses at the equivalent of $300.72 an hour, according to a recent Globe and Mail investigation.
The second contract, worth a maximum of $45 million, supplied personal support workers at $162.29 an hour, while the third, which went into effect on Dec. 2, 2022, and runs until February 2026, with a cap of $93 million, effectively charges Vitalité $306.70 an hour per nurse, according to the Globe.
Vitalité "went outside the normal practice" by signing two of the three contracts without the department's involvement, given the "magnitude of them, the duration and the dollar figure," Beaulieu told the standing committee on public accounts.
"I want to reiterate the department was not involved in the negotiations of the contracts with CHL or with any of the travel companies."
In a statement to CBC News, Canadian Health Labs, or CHL, said it places essential frontline health-care professionals in rural, remote, and underserved communities "in partnership with provincial governments, and under the direction of local health authorities."
- N.B. defends costly use of travel nurses as 'necessary at the time'
"The contracts CHL enters into with provincial governments outline its rates and services and are tailored to meet each jurisdiction's significant local needs, and reflect the extraordinary logistical challenges of getting and keeping health care professionals in rural, remote and underserved communities," an unidentified spokesperson said.
"While contract rates for human health resources vary by region and specialty, the terms of CHL's contracts with healthcare professionals are fair and transparent."
The Department of Health did not respond directly to questions from CBC about the statements by Desrosiers or Canadian Health Labs.
The Department of Health knows one of the most important things it can do is help ensure the province has a well-staffed health-care system. - Sean Hatchard, Department of Health spokesperson
"Travel nurses are contracted by the regional health authorities (RHAs), not by the department," spokesperson Sean Hatchard said in an email, redirecting inquiries back to Vitalité and Canadian Health Labs.
He reiterated Beaulieu's remarks Wednesday to the public accounts committee that the department is working with the regional health authorities to reduce their use of travel nurses.
It has created a health human resources division in the fall of 2022 to ensure collaboration on recruitment, organized domestic and international recruitment missions and taken steps to train more nurses in New Brunswick , he said.
"The Department of Health knows one of the most important things it can do is help ensure the province has a well-staffed health-care system," Hatchard said.
Between April 1, 2023, and Jan. 17, 2024, the regional health authorities have hired a total of 509 permanent registered nurses and licensed practical nurses, for a net increase of 197, he said.
'Saves lives'
Desrosiers acknowledged again in Friday's statement, as she did earlier this week, that the use of travel nurses is "not a perfect solution."
"In addition to the associated costs, many have denounced the salary inequity it creates among nursing staff in the public and private sectors at a time when our health-care workers most need support and recognition."
Still, she defended the expense, saying it "saves lives."
"In retrospect, we need only think of the hundreds of lives that have been saved thanks to the support of agency staff and our own staff in maintaining dialysis treatment, emergency departments and other essential services, for example, to confirm that this decision was the right one," she wrote.
"These patients, they have names … they are our family members, our neighbours, our loved ones."
"The health, safety and well-being of our patients and communities remain at the heart of all our decisions," she added.
