Ready to pitch your tent among hundreds at a music festival this summer? It’s like going on holidays on the other side of the world, or better on another planet altogether. From England to France, Belgium and Spain, here are the summer’s most anticipated festivals.
France is such an easy choice for Brits if you’re looking for a big dose of culture without having to venture too far. Already seen the Eiffel Tower and the lavender fields of Provence? Why not do some wildlife spotting in Camargue and check out their flamingos?
It’s no surprise that come summer, Nice is where you can find all the celebs soaking up the sun, shopping and indulging in the best cuisine that France has to offer. Forget the idea that Nice is only for the rich and famous, explore this city for free!
Travel and culture are inseparable. After Tallinn and Turku in 2011, Guimarães and Maribor in 2012, it’s time to pass the Cultural Capital torch on to the next two cities. The honour falls on France’s Marseille in Provence and Kosice in Slovakia.
Arguably one of the most beautiful churches in the world is celebrating a special milestone in 2013. Notre Dame Cathedral is turning 850 and the city of Paris isn’t letting this birthday celebration pass without a few very special events.
Thinking about a holiday in France by train? If you’ve ever been put off by rude passengers with bad manners, don’t worry. France has introduced the Politeness Police, on a French train near you.
