Creativity and relaxation

French nature and culture allows you to take a well deserved break from the stresses of everyday life. Are you a creative person, but is your life too busy? Some advertisers offer workshops: drawing, painting, writing, pottery, sculpture, photography etc. Select the activity of your choice to find the holiday of your choice. And especially if you want to relax and rest your busy mind, why not look for yoga or meditation ? You can also select the gites that are near the thermal baths, or those who have a sauna or jacuzzi.

For your wellbeing, you can make long walks or bike rides. Learn about the products Cognac, Champagne and visit the liqueur distilleries. Or become familiar with the cuisine of a region during your holiday and do a cooking course. One of the great pleasures will be strolling the markets to obtain the typical products of the region. You can also choose to take cooking classes or just enjoy your holiday to dine on a friendly terrace. If you like to "hunt" for bargains, and you're not afraid to negotiate prices, you will find unusual objects and antiques in brocantes or flea markets.

For socializing and dancing outdoors, there is nothing like the village festivals, with there are dances and meals at long tables in the village squares. And if you like city life, all major cities in France have a tourist office, where you can get detailed programs of activities, concerts and festivals. You will also find all the information relating to the history and heritage of the city. And fans of fireworks will especially enjoy the festivities of 14 July.
