I imagined something pleasant, comfortable… but perhaps a little passive. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Stepping aboard the MS Camargue completely changed my perception of river cruising — and honestly, it surprised me in the most beautiful way. From the very first moments on the Rhône, I felt something shift. This wasn’t simply a cruise. It was an intimate journey through the soul of Southern France.

In the early morning on the final day of August, I arrived; my face pressed to the bus window to catch a glimpse of the famous view. The sprawling green landscape of Brittany opened suddenly to the coastal town of Saint Malo and the vast ocean beyond. I heard my friends call out from the other side of the bus and turned to look out their window. There on the horizon loomed the towering ramparts of a once medieval city, encircled by […] - [Exploring Lyon’s Secret Passageways](https://francetravelsolutions.com/exploring-lyons-secret-passageways/): By Hannah Cameron Hidden traboules and courtyards of Lyon—What are they, why are they there, and how to find them.

Growing up there gave me an insider’s understanding of the country that goes far beyond guidebooks: hidden villages, local traditions, and the quiet rhythm of everyday life that most visitors never see.

Famously regarded worldwide as the city of love, lights, and opportunity, Paris is a hub for tourists from all over. However, France’s popularity cannot be solely attributed to its capital city. Spanning snowy mountains, lavender fields, ancient cities, and sleepy seaside villages, France truly does offer incredible experiences for travellers no matter their passions: sport, art, history, music, food, wine, or something else! Every part of France offers something unique. Thus, it comes as little surprise that France attracts 85 million visitors per year […] - [A French Alps Winter Experience](https://francetravelsolutions.com/a-french-alps-winter-experience/): Brrr! Has anyone been cold lately? Here in Brisbane, where France Travel Solutions is based, we’ve been waking up to some of the coldest winter mornings, with temperatures reportedly 5 to 8 degrees below average! On Friday June 13th temperatures in the CBD fell to 5.2 degrees— the coldest June morning since 2002!

The French […] - [The History of the Eiffel Tower](https://francetravelsolutions.com/the-history-of-the-eiffel-tower/): by Meghan Fallis When you picture France, the first thing that pops into your head is likely the elegant metal monument that dominates the skyline of Paris, the Eiffel Tower. While the structure is now infamous on a global scale, the story of how the Eiffel Tower came into existence is much more complicated than that. Its construction was highly contested at several periods in time and it was almost not completed. Now the Eiffel Tower is a symbol of France and welcomes millions of visitors each year. In October of 1886, French construction designer Gustave Eiffel was appointed an […] - [Honfleur - The Gateway to Normandy](https://francetravelsolutions.com/honfleur-the-gateway-to-normandy/): The beautiful town Honfleur is situated on the mouth of the Seine estuary, where the infamous French river meets the English Channel.

Its quaint houses, peaceful streets and tranquil canals – in addition to its rich history and accessible location – make it a relaxing and enjoyable trip away for everyone.

By early evening the weather was crisp and breezy, and we strolled along the canals admiring the […] - [Mont Saint-Michel, an island village](https://francetravelsolutions.com/mont-saint-michel-an-island-village/): by Hannah Noye It’s hardly possible to believe that Mont Saint-Michel is not a fictional place from a fairytale, such is its out of this world beauty.

His famous impressionist artworks, particularly those of the water lilies in his garden can be appreciated by anyone with a love of beauty and nature. In 1883 Monet purchased a house and gardens in the small village of Giverny in the Normandy region of France, and dedicated the rest of his life to cultivating the gardens that inspired his pieces.

The fountain of youth is one particularly famous example, appearing in writings going back nearly 2000 years. That famous spring is mythic, with no one knowing it’s supposed location, whether it be real or fake. Mythical water springs and sources with healing or magical powers are scattered through legends and stories through history – but one of these revered springs really does exist, and it exists in the town of Lourdes, France. The spring is known for its supposed healing properties, and attracts millions of […] - [You can still attend a ball at Versailles](https://francetravelsolutions.com/you-can-still-attend-a-ball-at-versailles/): by Hannah Noye What would you say if I told you that at the Chateau of Versailles in France, you can travel through time?

These places of splendor hold a romantic and historical allure. Did you know why the French kings moved to the Loire Valley in the 16th century? The region was particularly well situated geographically and economically for trade, as the Loire river was the last wild river that flowed freely to the open ocean without the hindrance of dams. Also being a landscape of extreme beauty, it was perfect for the construction of luxurious homes, an escape […] - [Why should you choose France for your next ski holiday?](https://francetravelsolutions.com/why-should-you-choose-france-for-your-next-ski-holiday/): Throughout my life, I have personally experienced the vast snow playgrounds of so many places including the exquisite Pyrenees, the French Alps, Japan, Australia, and NZ, and I have developed the desire to share my passion and expertise with you.Here are our top 5 reasons why you should choose France for your next ski holiday Large linked Ski Areas France is known for its picturesque mountain scenery, with many of its ski resorts offering breathtaking views of the Alps and Pyrenees.

In France, there are many accommodations that cater to different needs and preferences. It is essential to choose the right type of accommodation to live the experience you deserve.

For those few of you still unsure, champagne is what Dom Pérignon represents. Indeed it is arguably the most famous and well respected champagne in the world. It is produced by the French fine winery group of Moët et Chandon, a brand that is synonymous with glamour and luxury. Something that was news to me when I looked into this subject was that Dom Pérignon was a real person! In fact, its been […] - [A taste of every French Region](https://francetravelsolutions.com/a-taste-of-every-french-region/): by Hannah NoyeBonjour! Did you know that up until 2016 there were 22 regions of metropolitan France? That’s not even counting the 5 overseas regions under French rule. In 2016 there was a large scale territorial reform to better adapt to the modern economy, which meant some regions were combined to make new ones. The outcome was 13 regions within metropolitan France as well as the additional 5 overseas. It’s not news to anyone how famous France is for its culture of fine food and wine, and so today we want to take a look at some of the most […] - [A walk through L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue Sunday Markets](https://francetravelsolutions.com/a-walk-through-lisle-sur-la-sorgue-sunday-markets/): by Hannah Noye Bonjour! Let’s travel together to one of the locations that we visit in both of our tours, La Belle Vie tour, and A taste of France Tour. Known as France’s Venice, the town of L’isle sur La Sorgue is a small and quintessentially French town of warm toned buildings, summer flowers, and quaint bridges crossing the canals that weave throughout.

The towns Sunday flea markets are […] - [The Christmas Markets of Strasbourg and other wondrous French festivities](https://francetravelsolutions.com/the-christmas-markets-of-strasbourg-and-other-wondrous-french-festivities/): by Hannah Noye Imagine experiencing the best Christmas market where even Père Noël shops himself before crawling down chimneys all over the world to leave presents! Something I learned recently is that French children leave their shoes around the fire to be filled with toys and treats. I suppose this isn’t too different from our tradition of using a stocking to fill with toys; after all, they are both things you put on your feet. Legend has it, back before the washer/dryer machine was invented people would hang their stockings or leave their shoes by the fireplace to dry. Before […] - [Traditional french christmas foods and a look into the festive treats of the galeries lafayette](https://francetravelsolutions.com/traditional-french-christmas-foods-and-a-look-into-the-festive-treats-of-the-galeries-lafayette/): by Hannah Noye Welcome! As Christmas draws nearer and the days get hotter, I find my mind wandering to the Christmas season I experienced 4 years ago in Paris. I think I speak for many of us Australians when I say that while I love our traditions, there has always been a part of me that has yearned for the Christmases in movies! Long scarves, snowmen , snowball fights, blazing fireplaces, and cold weather in which it is rational to drink hot chocolate! My own tradition has always been to force down the hot beverage despite the sweltering heat. Christmas […] - [The history behind the subtle change in the French Flag](https://francetravelsolutions.com/the-history-behind-the-subtle-change-in-the-french-flag/): Written by Hannah Noye Did you know that the French flag changed colors in 2020? For those shaking their head no, take some comfort in knowing that you are not alone. In fact, many French natives didn’t even know that their flag had changed! Though this might sound outrageous (how could a country not recognize their own flag changing?) the change was not a big one. The flag, internationally known for its red white and blue tricolour bands, was only altered in the deepening of its blue from a light blue to a navy blue. This is not so much […] ## Pages - [A Taste of Provence - Cruise](https://francetravelsolutions.com/a-taste-of-provence-cruise/) - [Secure your 2027 tour at 2026 prices!](https://francetravelsolutions.com/secure-your-2027-tour-at-2026-prices/) - [Toulouse Day Tours](https://francetravelsolutions.com/toulouse-day-tours/) - [Best Guided Tours in France v2](https://francetravelsolutions.com/best-guided-tours-in-france/) - [Champagne Day Tours](https://francetravelsolutions.com/champagne-day-tours/) - [Day Tours - Departure Paris](https://francetravelsolutions.com/day-tours-departure-paris/) - [Provence Day Tours](https://francetravelsolutions.com/provence-day-tours/) - [Normandy Day Tours](https://francetravelsolutions.com/normandy-day-tours/) - [Loire Valley Day Tours](https://francetravelsolutions.com/loire-valley-day-tours/) - [Dordogne Day Tours](https://francetravelsolutions.com/dordogne-day-tours/) - [Best Guided Tours in France](https://francetravelsolutions.com/day-tours/) - [Burgundy Day Tours](https://francetravelsolutions.com/burgundy-day-tours/) - [Bordeaux Day Tours](https://francetravelsolutions.com/bordeaux-day-tours/) - [Alsace Day Tours](https://francetravelsolutions.com/alsace-day-tours/) - [Section Docs](https://francetravelsolutions.com/section-documentation/) - [All cruises](https://francetravelsolutions.com/all-cruises/) - [Champagne Cruises](https://francetravelsolutions.com/champagne-cruises/) - [Paris Cruises](https://francetravelsolutions.com/paris/) - [Alsace Barge Cruises](https://francetravelsolutions.com/alsace-barge-cruises/) - [Burgundy Barge Cruises](https://francetravelsolutions.com/burgundy-barge-cruises/) - [Canal du Midi Barge Cruises](https://francetravelsolutions.com/canal-du-midi-barge-cruises/) - [Christmas & New Year Cruises](https://francetravelsolutions.com/christmas-new-year-cruises/) - [Hiking & Active Cruises](https://francetravelsolutions.com/hiking-active-cruises/) - [Family Cruises](https://francetravelsolutions.com/family-cruises/) - [Gastronomy & Wine Cruises](https://francetravelsolutions.com/gastronomy-and-wine-cruises/) - [The Garonne, Dordogne & Bordeaux](https://francetravelsolutions.com/the-garonne-dordogne-bordeaux/) - [The Loire](https://francetravelsolutions.com/the-loire/) - [The Rhône & Saône](https://francetravelsolutions.com/the-rhone-saone/) - [The Seine](https://francetravelsolutions.com/the-seine/) - [Themed Cruises](https://francetravelsolutions.com/themed-cruises/) - [Mediterranean Cruises](https://francetravelsolutions.com/mediterranean-cruises/) - [Canal Barge Cruises](https://francetravelsolutions.com/canal-barge-cruises/) - [River Cruises](https://francetravelsolutions.com/river-cruises/) - [Experience Authentic Stay](https://francetravelsolutions.com/experience-authentic-stay/) - [Personal Service Stress Free Travel](https://francetravelsolutions.com/personal-service-stress-free-travel/) - [Premium Dining With FTS](https://francetravelsolutions.com/premium-dining-with-fts/) - [Travel Agents](https://francetravelsolutions.com/travel-agents/) - [About Us](https://francetravelsolutions.com/about-us/) - [Brand](https://francetravelsolutions.com/brand/) - [Cruises](https://francetravelsolutions.com/cruises/) - [Tours](https://francetravelsolutions.com/tours/) - [Home](https://francetravelsolutions.com/) - [Cancellation Policy](https://francetravelsolutions.com/cancellation-policy/): France Travel Solutions Cancellation and Refund Policy Effective from: 08/08/2022 1.
