Why Choose France Favourites for your Holiday?
We are members of the Association of British Travel Organisers to France (ABTOF), and at our 2006 conference we discussed the idea of bringing our passion and specialist knowledge together in a way which would really help people searching for a self-catering holiday to France.
The result - 'France Favourites' - means there is now a website you can always use to book the best self-catering holiday in whichever region of France you want to enjoy..
There are a number of benefits to choosing a France Favourites holiday:
- We cover all of the key holiday regions of France
- We have a detailed personal knowledge of every property - and its suitability for different client requirements
- We know the resorts in our regions and the many activities you can enjoy. Plus we've developed our own networks of contacts in the area to help you plan and enjoy your holiday, whether it's booking a surf lesson or finding a good beach for the kids
- We believe in ‘service as it used to be’ - we're all ‘small & friendly’ independent companies who've got to know their clients over the years. We're the antithesis of today's corporate call centre culture!
