Expressions Holidays offers a range of handpicked-hotel holidays that afford you the chance to explore and enjoy French history and culture. Choose one of our French luxury hotel holidays to explore the history of the chateaux of the Loire Valley, the Normandy Landings of 1944, the First world war battlefields, the history of the Cathars in and around Carcassonne, the life and works of famous artists such as Vincent Van Gogh, Cezanne and Toulouse-Lautrec, Roman life and monuments such as the Pont du Gard and the amphitheatre in Nimes in its ancient Province, or the museums and art galleries of Paris, Nice and Lyon. History and culture can be the main purpose of your holiday and we can arrange just short break, a longer stay or a touring holiday around these themes. You can travel by air, with or without a hire-car, by rail, again perhaps with or without a hire-car, or take your own car to France with a Channel crossing included.
