A LA CARTE
Sporting breaks in France

Apart
from ski and golf,
treated separately on this site, there are a multitude of sporting
activities in Southern France available to
short break guests - all within 90 minutes or so of a 'lowcost'
airport.
Although rugby (Union and League) dominates as the
local team sport there is a lot of interest in cycling (Tour de
France oblige) and white water activities in the Pyrenees. And
just about everyone down here takes off on the weekends for hikes
through the unspoilt hills, valleys and forests of the Pyrenees.
FRANCE
A LA CARTE has chosen the best local providers for all of these
sports, so whether you be an individual, family or group have
a look at our offer on the right and get into the action.
