Where to go for a last minute weekend?
Do you dream of getting away for a weekend or a last-minute break? Vacancéole residences are open all year round, even at the last minute. Be tempted by one of our breaks and relax: it's the holidays!
A last-minute weekend to cool off at the seaside
Why not take advantage of a weekend or a few days away to recharge your batteries by the sea or ocean? Unlike what you might think, it's not only in summer that sea air is invigorating and gives you a boost. Take a trip to Le Cap d'Agde in the south of France and our residences offering a warm welcome, such as Residence La Baie des Anges or Residence Samaria Village/Hacienda Beach. With long sandy beaches and wooded surroundings, you're sure to love the experience! Another destination for a last-minute weekend is Saint Cyprien and Residence Las Motas*** in the Catalan area of Alénya. Here you can enjoy a small village atmosphere with a Spanish flavour thanks to its proximity to Spain.
If you're more into the ocean than the sea, you'll find we have something for you. Head for the open ocean: how about Arcachon Bay with its legendary beauty and great diversity? Stay at Residence Les Rives Marines*** just 25 minutes from central Arcachon and the Landes de Gascogne Natural Park. This is a superb base from which to explore the bay with all its sights, such as Ile aux Oiseaux (Bird Island) and Pointe du Cap Ferret, and to sample local specialities.
There is a different feel on the Channel coastline at Cayeux-sur-Mer in the north of France. Not sure about the north? Don't worry: Somme Bay is exceptionally beautiful. Unlike the south of France, where it's generally busy all year round, here you can enjoy peace and quiet. You can also see wildlife, including seals, and go hiking to admire one of the most beautiful bays in the world. No joke! Residence Les Terasses de la Plage*** will give you a lovely warm welcome. Situated on the seafront, it has apartments for 4 to 8 people, all with sea views and terraces, plus other amenities.
A last-minute active short break in the mountains
France is one of those countries where everything is possible when it comes to holidays. With its wide variety of mountains, you're spoilt for choice for a last-minute weekend at altitude. Whether in the Alps, the Pyrenees, the Jura or the Vosges, Vacancéole is there with high-quality holiday residences.
Catalan Pyrenees
Discover the Catalan Pyrenees near Bolquère Pyrénées 2000 at our Residence Appart Vacances Pyrénées 2000***. You'll be at an altitude of 1800 metres, where you can recharge your batteries and take in the fresh air. Whether it's summer or winter, make the most of the wellness area with a sauna, jacuzzi and hammam, as well as the play area for little ones. This holiday is an ideal opportunity to explore the Pyrenees differently with your family.
Hautes-Alpes - Vall d'Allos
For even greater heights, the Hautes-Alpes has its share of thrills. Enjoy breathtaking scenery on some of the highest peaks in Europe. Head for Alpe d'Huez and our Residence l'Alpenrose***, which combines elegance and typical mountain decor to perfection.
Further south in the Alps, enjoy the green hiking trails close to our Residence Val d'Allos, Residence Central Park and Les Chalets du Verdon. Successful last-minute weekend away guaranteed! This outdoor getaway located below 1500 metres altitude will allow you to explore the mountain pastures in summer, as well as the Lac d'Allos lake for outdoor activities. In winter, choose a last-minute all-inclusive short break. We've thought of everything! Enjoy an all-inclusive package including accommodation, ski equipment and lift passes when you book at Residence Les Chalets du Verdon***. This way, you can spend a weekend without worrying about anything other than the snow.
Massif Central
In terms of diversity and remarkable landscapes, the Massif Central is not to be outdone. In the heart of the Puy-de-Dôme region, visit Super Besse at the foot of the Puy de Sancy. This chain of more than 80 volcanoes is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's full of activities for the whole family. Our Residence Le Bois de la Reine*** welcomes you in summer and winter for a quality last-minute weekend.
As well as providing the usual comforts at our residences, with areas reserved for the youngest and for adults to satisfy the whole family, Vacancéole is committed to sustainable tourism. This is why many of our residences have the Green Key label or are LPO biodiversity refuges. With Vacancéole, you're doing your bit for responsible tourism!
