The benefits of France in a European winter
The benefits of France in a European winter
Winter time can evoke feelings of despair from sun-worshippers. For others, though, travelling in winter can make for some of the best holiday experiences. France – with its gourmet food and wine, exceptional spas and hotels combined with all the culture you can handle – is a great European winter destination.
GourmetSki in Morzine
If staying in a century-old Savoyarde farmhouse sounds like your style, you’ll adore the comfort, attentive service and delicious cuisine that a few nights at a GourmetSki chalet can provide. Imagine snuggling up against the cold outside by a roaring fire, or tucking into dishes such as roasted guinea fowl with a Madeira cream jus, served on a bed of wilted spinach with rosti potatoes and caramelised carrots. Not to mention the French wine.
With three different properties each offering either catered, part-catered or self-catered services you can have your luxury exactly how you want it in the mountain resort of Montriond, Morzine, Portes du Soleil.
Ask our team of luxury travel experts for more details on GourmetSki and transfer options to and from Geneva.
Get a hands-on food and wine experience in Burgundy
Burgundy is not only a stunning setting for a luxury holiday in France, it’s also a major centre for wine and gastronomy. If you’re interested in food to satisfy your soul as much as your taste buds, why not ask us about signing up for a cooking course? It’s the perfect winter alternative to walking about and sightseeing in the cold.
Learn how to cook like the French with all the flavours of Burgundy at somewhere like Château d’Ancy-le-Franc – a renovated château where you’ll cook in the atmospheric old kitchens (period costumes optional!).
Likewise, Jean-Michel Lorain’s kitchen in Joigny is a must-see place to visit in Burgundy. This Michelin-starred chef has opened his doors to teach wannabe chefs his tricks, and you’ll even get a video of your lesson to take home – proof that your time in Provence was constructive and not just spent lounging about with a wine glass. Although there’s plenty of that to experience, too.
Ask us about arranging this experience along with some incredible luxury accommodation in Burgundy.
Relax at the Spa at Four Seasons Resort, Provence
You might not be able to spend a year in Provence, but you can definitely make your holiday in France one to remember if you spend some of the winter season in this glorious European destination. Provence has a multitude of things to discover in any weather, such as following in the footsteps of impressionist painters like Van Gogh and Cézanne, strolling through Marseille’s Vieux-Port and eating bouillabaisse with a view.
If food is the name of your game in this region, ask our luxury travel experts for restaurant recommendations.
For true luxury, ask us about arranging your stay at the Four Seasons Resort, Provence and schedule some well-deserved time in the spa. In true Four Seasons style, this luxurious setting – with beckoning golf courses for when the sun comes out and award-winning cuisine – is one hotel you’ll never want to leave.
