Why holiday in France?

So what makes France such an enjoyable holiday destination?

Carisma families take their holidays in France for many reasons, some love the French culture and have taken holidays in France for numerous years. Other holiday makers are taking their first trip abroad, sometimes with very young children and so a holiday to France seems to be the ideal choice. It is a very easy journey from any of the Channel ports to France. Holiday makers typically go into Brittany, (Roscoff & ) Manche (Cherbourg)Calvados ( Caen) Siene Maritime ( Le Havre & Dieppe) and Pas de Calais ( Boulougne, Calais -ferry and Eurotunnel). All these routes to France are easily reached by holiday makers and chosen for various reasons.

On a camping holiday to France you take your car with you and so are able to take everything you may need for adults and children alike- on holiday there is nothing worse than family members having left something at home that they bought to take on holiday. No worries about suitcase weight or parking at expensive airport carparks. French holiday makers also have none of the worries that air travel brings. Self drive holidays to France don't involve the worries that delayed flights bring, children on our family holidays are entertained in the car or on the ferries with plenty of room to run and play once on board. Indeed by many families the beginning of their holiday to France begins with embarkation onto the ferry. They are more like holiday cruise ships than just a means to get across the Channel to France.

Whilst on holiday in France you also have the car to hand and of course when travelling through the French regions such as; Brittany, Vendee, Loire, Charante, Dordogne, Gers, Lot, Pyrenees, Indre and Gironde: You will visit cities such as Les Sables d'Olonne, Vannes, Biarittz, Quimper, Carnac, Jard sur mer, St Hilaire de Riez, Biscarrosse, Arcachon, La Rochelle, Poitiers, St. Emilion, Nantes, Lorient, Messanges, Cognac, Le Mans, Caen, Alencon, Rennes, Avranches, Bordeaux and La Foret. From here you will be able to buy wine and have no restrictions in the amount you can bring home from your holiday. There will be plenty of storage in your mobile home/caravan in France to keep all your purchases safe whilst on your holiday.

Another great inducement to holiday in France is the glorious weather. The sun shines brightly in France and your holiday is sure to have the bright blue skies and temperatures to enjoy. You can choose to enjoy your holiday to France by sitting at the campsite pool side going in every so often for a cooling dip or splash in the waves at the campsite beach with your family. Make the most of the shade in the historical regins of France such as Talmont and Poitiers and choose the camsite for your following yuears holiday to France.

As we celebrate our 31st year of luxury beach holidays, I would like to greet our regular customers and extend a warm welcome to anybody considering coming on holiday with us for the first time. We started Carisma 31 years ago with family camping holidays in France.

Whilst we are one of the largest, longest established and experienced companies in the industry, we now specialize in luxury mobile home holidays on beach campsites in France. We are still a family owned and family run business backed by mature, professional staff.

The formula for giving you the holiday you have earned has never changed; a complete and personal service from the time you book until you return

We own all our holiday homes, unlike some of our competitors who rent mobile homes from French owners. We therefore have total control over the quality and siting of your mobile home for your holiday in France.

May we invite you to be our guest in one of our luxury mobile homes this year and we wish you a very enjoyable French holiday experience with Carisma Holidays.
