Celebration trips to France

Where do you start when you want a holiday that goes way beyond booking a hotel, celebration trips to France that go beyond the ordinary? You know you want something exceptional, the kind of experience that lives with you forever, but how do you make it happen?

We talk to Mark Bonte, co-founder of French Side Travel, a multi award-winning company who organise bespoke trips and don’t do ordinary.

Celebration trips to France – VIP style

Maybe you have a special anniversary coming up, and you want to create a trip to remember forever. Perhaps you’re trying to organise a proposal, honeymoon or romantic tour. Perhaps it’s an unforgettable French sojourn for the whole family at Christmas, or even visiting during a major event like Bastille Day  or New Years Eve.

France offers a wonderfully diverse selection of destinations that are perfect for celebration travel but it’s always very personal for those who are travelling so we always start with – do you know where you want to go to, and what you want to see and experience? Are you looking for iconic landmarks and photogenic highlights or a complete retreat in a secret hideaway, or both?

Extraordinary Experiences in France

Do you want to experience Paris, Provence, and/or the French Riviera which are all rightly popular, or do you want to go somewhere less well-known. Is there something you’re particularly interested in – gastronomy, wine or history for instance. If so we might then recommend you look at some of the places that suit your tastes, Burgundy, Bordeaux, Alsace or the Loire Valley maybe. We think about all aspects of your dream trip. The key thing is to choose somewhere that ignites excitement before you even get there, and then delivers everything you imagined – and more. That’s always what we aim for at French Side Travel, it has to be perfect for you and whoever you’re travelling with.

Any or all of these aspects can be built into your itinerary.

We can organise sunset boat tours, private guided tours and tastings in unique cellars, photo sessions, and private lunches in vineyards, sunrise balloon rides over the castles of the Loire, cooking classes with top chefs… these are just a few experiences that make your trip special – there’s just so much we can propose to make sure this is your dream vacation come true. And sometimes, you just have to be ‘in the know’ to find out that special options even exist, that’s part of the joy of what we do, being able to offer you an experience that you’ve never even heard about but will certainly never forget.

Special travel experiences need special consideration, and French Side Travel offer a complimentary initial consultation to get to know each other while working out what’s truly important to you.
