Top five tips for an affordable holiday to France

Lagrange Holidays have put together their top five ideas for affordable holidays to France. These include family self-drive packages to Brittany, apartments on the Bay of St Tropez, the prehistoric caves of Dordogne, discounts on Alpine properties near the Tour de France and a classic seaside resort in Aquitaine.
Rediscover Brittany with a self-drive summer holiday and enjoy beautiful scenery, unspoilt beaches and quaint seaside towns all within easy reach of the UK. St Briac is a typical small Breton fishing port located only ten miles from St Malo and is known as the “Perle de la Cote d’Emeraude”.
Stay at the Lagrange Confort+ property Les Roches Douvres and enjoy self-catering apartments only 300m from the nearest beach, complete with indoor heated swimming pool and spa facilities. An apartment sleeping four in August costs from only £886 and includes a return ferry crossing from Portsmouth to St Malo.
Enjoy the glitz and glamour of St Tropez without breaking the bank by staying at the nearby seaside resort of Ste Maxime. The Lagrange Prestige residence Port Marine is located only 150m from the beach and offers self-catering apartments with air-conditioning and access to the outdoor swimming pool. A two bedroom apartment sleeping up to six costs only £800 for the May half term week. Lagrange guests also benefit from a minimum 10% reduction on the cost of a return boat trip across the bay to St Tropez.
Discover the world famous prehistoric caves at Lascaux by staying in nearby Montignac. Lagrange feature Prestige holiday homes with pool and spa facilities from only £520 total for a week in August. The property is only five minutes by car from the caves and is ideally located for exploring the many other prehistoric sites and beautiful countryside of the surrounding area.
Head to the Alps this summer and make the most of great weather, a wide range of activities to suit all tastes and high-standard accommodation available at a fraction of the winter price. Valloire is a picturesque traditional village nestled in the mountains of the Maurienne Valley and is near where the ninth stage of the Tour de France will finish on July 13th. Lagrange feature two bedroom apartments for that week for only £565 total and are also offering an additional 5% early booking discount for reservations made before April 29th.
Families in search of a French seaside resort for a classic bucket and spade holiday should consider Mimizan in Aquitaine with its wide sandy beaches and location not too far from Bordeaux. The Lagrange Confort+ apartments Les Jardins de l’Oyat are only 50m from the beach and located in the resort centre. Apartments sleeping four start from only £224 total per week.
