PARIS

Also known as "The City of Love" or "La Ville de l'Amour", is considered to be one of the most romantic cities in the world. Believe it or not but Paris was originally known not for its sincere love but more for the "merchant" love trade...

Over the years it has grown out of that 19th century erotic aura and is now seen as the romantic "City of Light". This takes it away from that once was "Brothel" stigma...

Now known for its wide avenues, beautiful parks and elegant buildings, fine wines and incredible food, you can understand why Paris makes for the perfect romantic retreat...

THE ALPS - FRANCE

The French Alps are a land of contrasts and breath-taking beauty.

Imagine walking beneath towering glaciers and snow-capped peaks, wandering through quaint, postcard-worthy villages, or savouring rich, creamy mountain cheese by the sparkling shores of an alpine lake.

This vast mountainous area comprises many historic provinces: Savoie, Dauphine, Provence, and the County of Nice.

The French Alps are part of the greater mountain range of the Alps, which stretch in a crescent shape 1,200 kilometres (700 miles) from Nice round to Vienna across seven countries:

  • Austria,
  • Slovenia,
  • Italy,
  • Switzerland,
  • Liechtenstein,
  • Germany, and
  • France.

The highest mountain of the Alps is Mont Blanc (4,810m), and it is situated on the French-Italian border.

So, apart from the walking and seeing the sights in The French Alps, there are many popular activities and sports that are practised there each summer: such as  mountain biking, canyoning, rock-climbing, caving, rafting, canoeing, kayaking, angling, horse or donkey riding…

Plenty of options for a wild adventure family holiday.

GREECE

If you are thinking about taking a trip to Greece, there is plenty of option to which Island you choose. Each one offers something different and are extremely impressive.

Plan your trip accordingly and find the perfect Island for you. The fact is, is that you are never going to see everything on your first visit, so why pressure yourself...

Athens has the main go to. It has the main airport with connections to many international destinations.

Athens City is very precious with many streets being original stone and cobbles. Not very wheelchair friendly so those with mobility difficulties will find it extra challenging.

It is one of the liveliest metropoles in Europe, with its streets being carefully walked through the day by locals and holiday makers to it coming to life at night time with bands in the bars.

Whichever island you decide to visit - Athens, Rhodes, Milos or Santorini, they're all unique in their own little ways and have plenty to offer.
