France is an ideal holiday destination for every type of traveller - from those seeking culture and sights in big cities, to anyone interested in the more serene surroundings of the French countryside. But no matter where you fit in among the vast variety of holidaymakers, you'll certainly want to experience the country to its fullest extent. Driving enables you to do just that, extending opportunities to see more and travel at your leisure.

For instance, you'll have the freedom to cover a larger range of sights without having to depend on public transportation or expensive taxis. You'll also have the freedom to set your own pace of travel, as well as the flexibility to factor in any last minute changes with ease. And because you'll save so much time getting from place to place, you can do even more!

Beach-lovers can explore the stunning coastline of the Cote d'Azur or the sparkling emerald waters of Brittany's coastline, while thrill-seekers and outdoor enthusiasts will want to visit the world-famous ski slopes and resorts in the Alps. And if you're keen to experience France's culinary treats, you'll have much to look forward to. Travel to the region of Brie, where you'll have the opportunity to taste the area's most famous offering - Brie cheese! Or visit the wineries in Bordeaux or Alsace - the latter being particularly famous for its white wines - or the historic vineyards of Champagne. And, if you're keen to enjoy the stunning French countryside, you won't want to miss a drive alongside the beautiful lavender fields of Provence.

Aside from facilitating widespread travel in France, taking the car on holiday will also ensure your comfort: you'll be able to stop whenever you please - which can be particularly advantageous if you're travelling with children. However, it might work out cheaper to catch a cheap flight to your destination and then hire a car in France upon arrival. Moreover, car hire companies usually offer vehicles of all sizes; so whether you're travelling as a couple or as a large family, you can count on a comfortable driving experience.

If you're planning a trip to France you'll find a number of car hire agents conveniently located in all parts of the country - from city airports and train stations to smaller towns. So no matter which part of France you're planning to visit, you can count on a means of transport that will help you experience the country to its fullest!
