FRANCE A LA CARTE

short break experts for Irish visitors to France

FRANCE - for visitors from Ireland...____

A lot of our customers are Irish - for a number of cultural, historic and personal reasons - so we have seen fit to provide a number of breaks specifically tailored to the Irish market.

CITY BREAKS: our 2 or 3 night breaks in TOULOUSE, BORDEAUX, CARCASSONNE and BIARRITZ are designed to accommodate travellers from Dublin using Ryanair or Aer Lingus direct flights. Ryanair now fly direct from Shannon to Carcassonne.

SKI - We offer packages in St Lary, la Mongie, Les Angles and Ax-les-Thermes. Use the Dublin to Biarritz, Toulouse or Carcassonne flights to get in a long weekend of ski in 2008/09.
Dublin (and Shannon)-Girona (in N Spain) is a good flight for our packages in Font Romeu.

The ALPS are well served by Aer Lingus who can get you to Marseilles, Lyon, Nice and Geneva - we'll do the rest. Ryanair now fly direct from Dublin to Turin, where we have some great snowboard packages and to Grenoble in the heart of the Alps, a mere snowball's throw from Chamrousse.

ULSTER visitors can fly directly to NICE with easyJet. This is very handy for skiing at Isola 2000. There is also a direct flight from Belfast to Toulouse with jet2.com - perfect for rafting weekends or rugby matches.

RAFTING and CANYONING breaks in the Aude and Basque Country can be adapted to accommodate travellers using Dublin-Carcassonne, Shannon-Carcassonne and Dublin-Biarritz direct flights.

LOURDES. The Dublin-Biarritz flight is perfect for these three night breaks.

SEASIDE BUNGALOWS - Our bungalows on the Languedoc coast are accessible from both Carcassonne and Girona (in N Spain), both Ryanair destinations from Dublin and Shannon.

On the ATLANTIC SEABOARD, our seaside rentals in our 4* holiday village (with golf course) in Port Bourgenay (near La Rochelle) and the Ile de Ré are well worth visiting. Further south, the fabulous Pierre & Vacances holiday village of Moliets with its 27 hole golf course and superb surfing beach is accessible from Biarritz.

COGNAC - The Dublin - La Rochelle flight by Ryanair is perfect for our little brandy-tasting break.

CANAL CRUISING - Cruise the historic Canal du Midi. Start at Carcassonne, just 2 hours from Dublin! Starting in September 2008 you can cruise the canal aboard a solar-powered craft: 0% emissions and noise garanteed!

RUGBY - Whenever an Irish team meets a French one ... we are there with good value hotel + ticket packages.

CORPORATE - a growing number of Irish companies are using our services to provide high-quality corporate packages - incentive, team-building or seminars - at half the price they would cost in Ireland. Due, in part, to the direct flights into Biarritz, Toulouse and Carcassonne from Dublin and Shannon.

WINE - Tours and tasting. We have a number of little wine-tasting breaks that can be adapted to arrivals from Dublin. St Emilion & Médoc, for example, or Carcassonne and the Corbières. just ask.
