The Paris 2024 Olympics were a show-stopping spectacle of power, speed, strength, and agility. With the closing ceremony already behind us, it may feel like the party is now well and truly over. However, France is a huge country with plenty of amazing things to see and do – here are three ideas of what to do in France now that the Olympics are over.
Sample Champagne In Wine Country
Located to the east of Paris, Champagne is a stunning region of gentle rolling hills, ancient market towns and, of course, plenty of wine to sample. If you book onto a wine tour you will learn about the history and cultivation of this region, while you get to enjoy several tastes of some high quality wines.
Walk Brittany’s Coast Path
The wild northern region of Brittany hosts one of the longest, and most beautiful, coast paths in France. Known as the Sentier des Douaniers (Customs Officers’ Path), this 388 mile long stretch is absolutely beautiful and well worth a visit. There are plenty of small towns and charming villages to stop off at along your way, so you can enjoy a well earned rest on your hike.
Visit Van Gogh’s City In Provence
Arles, a stunning Roman-era city in the southern region of Provence, inspired the famous artist Vincent Van Gogh. Many of his most famous works stem from the time he spent living in the city, and Arles is proud to showcase its rich artistic heritage. Take a guided tour or explore the streets yourself, to witness firsthand the architecture and light which inspired one of the world’s great artists.
