Money-saving tips for family holidays to France

There are many ways to save on your summer holiday this year without having to camp under canvas, fly long haul to flee the Eurozone or sacrifice the facilities that make your holiday a holiday.

Siblu Holidays has savings on accommodation, ferries and even Euro exchange at a wide range of top holiday parcs across France. Here are three ways to save on bookings made before 30 June.

1. Free accommodation upgrades in Brittany
Bigger is better, and there are free holiday home upgrades available at Siblu’s Domaine de Kerlann holiday parc in southern Brittany.

The parc has indoor and outdoor pools and a splashzone for kids, and is close to white-sand beaches, countless craggy coves and serene seaside villages. So after a long day exploring, the extra space of a top-of-the-range holiday home is welcome for families who want to stretch out and relax.

A seven-night stay in the biggest three-bedroom holiday homes starts from £679 for the week departing 3 July, including a £196 booking discount and saving £77 on the accommodation upgrade.

2. Beat the Euro exchange
Convert your pounds into Siblu’s new Euro Voucher and you can beat the low exchange rates on the high street.

Siblu’s Euro Voucher pays 1.25€ for every pound, so change £200 and you’ll receive 250€ in vouchers, compared to around 215€ from the Post Office and travel agents. There are no charges to buy or return vouchers, and unused vouchers are changed back at the same rate.

The Euro Voucher can be used at restaurants, bars, shops and with activity providers at 11 Siblu holiday parcs across France. See Siblu.com/vouchers for more information.

3. Sail away for less money
Travel in comfort, avoid baggage restrictions and make lengthy check-in times a thing of the past by travelling to France by ferry.

The easiest way to save on many routes is to book your crossing with your accommodation provider, who can pass on exclusive ferry rates. Siblu, for example, is offering Brittany Ferries’ weekend Poole to Cherbourg return routes in July and August from just £192, saving £108 on brochure prices and cheaper than the same crossing booked directly with the operator.

Fares are even cheaper if you can travel midweek, with Siblu offering return Poole to Cherbourg crossings with Brittany Ferries from just £156, saving £72.
