Where to go for Easter week-end ?
It's spring time, the birds singing and the cherry trees are blooming... a great time for a few days off. Easter weekend is a time to get together with family (and eat chocolate). All's left to do is pick a destination! Would you rather: head south for the sun? Take in the tranquil countryside? Or maybe you'd prefer to breathe in the mountain air over the Easter weekend.
Countryside breaks over Easter
Easter weekend: your holiday rental in France's Ardèche
Head for the Gorges de l'Ardèche in the south of France's Rhône-Alpes region. If you don't mind the cold too much, you can rent canoes and head down the river, carried by the strength of your arms (not the mention the current!). I recommend a visit to the cave of Chauvet II which is the perfect reproduction of the original cave. It contains hidden Paleolithic paintings dating back more than 36,000 years!
For your weekend, discover Le Domaine de Châmes residence, located amidst the gorges. Stay in a lush setting with a view over the river.
Spend your Easter weekend in Normandy
The Normandy countryside awaits for an unforgettable Easter weekend. Nothing like a bike ride to digest a hearty meal. Le Domaine du Mont*** holiday residence welcomes you for a colourful stay a few kilometres from Mont Saint-Michel. During your Easter weekend, don't hesitate to visit this famous Abbey and its bay, both of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Your Easter holiday rental in Corrèze
Feel like taking a "nature" break? Head to the French department of Corrèze, in particular Meyrignac-l'Église, where you can stay at the Domaine des Monédières****. The holiday residence is located on the banks of a lake in the countryside. Your holiday rental for the Easter weekend has an outdoor pool, children's playground and wellness area. Accommodation is in wooden chalets that blend into the natural environment.
Easter weekends by the sea
Holiday rentals on the Breton coast
Brittany is the ideal destination for an Easter weekend by the sea, easily reached from Paris and the north of France. Fish for mussels, enjoy buckwheat pancakes on the terrace and try kouign-amanns for dessert. Saint-Malo, Lorient, Vannes are just three of Brittany's many coastal towns and cities. Check out Les Terrasses de Pentrez*** holiday residence in Saint-Nic. Accommodation is in fully equipped rental apartments or houses. The sea might be a bit cold in April, but you can always take a dip in the residence's covered and heated pool.
Head to Bayonne for your Easter weekend
Would you like to spend an Easter weekend in the south-west of France? Enjoy a break with friends and family in the land of authenticity and conviviality (and chocolate). Here, everything will have a slightly Spanish feel on your Easter weekend break. L'Allée des Dunes in Ondres is the perfect accommodation for your Easter weekend. The residence is in the middle of the Landes forest. They say it's a great spot for egg hunts! If the weather is good, you can lounge by the pool.
Easter weekend breaks in Languedoc-Roussillon
We want sunshine! The Languedoc-Roussillon region offers many holiday rental options, some of which are close to a sandy beach. Saint-Cyprien, Argelès-sur-Mer, Cap d'Agde, Marseillan-Plage are just a few of the seaside resort options for your Easter weekend break The Mediterranean coast will give you a foretaste of your upcoming summer holidays!
Find your mountain holiday rental for Easter weekend
Looking for fresh air on your Easter weekend? The mountains in spring are just the ticket. It's the beginning of the hiking, mountain biking and trail riding seasons. Those who prefer winter sports will always have the opportunity to ski in high altitude resorts such as Les Deux Alpes. Its glacier at more than 3,000 metres high offers skiing, even in the middle of August! Book your holiday rental for an Easter weekend in the mountains!
