3 inexpensive destinations in France
France is full of places where holidaymakers can take it easy. Whether by the sea, in the mountains or on the hot cobblestones of a city, everyone can find what they are looking for. Among all the possible destinations in France, three caught our attention for their quality/price ratio. Here they are :
- Brittany : shunned for generations following rumors of torrential rains and a cold and rough sea, it is nevertheless the perfect place for holidays at low prices. Indeed, despite its menhirs, its traditions, its bigoudènes and its islands, tourists do not flock. A boon for you. Fewer requests, many offers, a budget largely respected.
- Ardeche : Are you tired of your neighbour’s sun spray splashing you on the beach or the untimely sale of scrunchies and donuts waking you up in the middle of a nap? Don’t look, go to the land of Ardèche. This little corner of France offers an incomparable wealth of activities to do with the family. bonus point, the department can easily be discovered by bike which takes a heavy toll on your family’s fuel budget!
- The southwest : gastronomy, beaches and sun are at the rendezvous of this region which smells good in summer. If at first glance, cities like Arcachon or Bordeaux do not seem to rhyme with low budget, the many free cultural activities and events can give you a dream vacation without spending too much. What family happiness.
These French destinations have the advantage of not costing too much money in transport. However, by going a little further, it often happens that we also save money.
5 cheap foreign destinations to go with the family
If you are the type who wants to impress you with your (approximate) mastery of a foreign language and your flawless organization to pass cheap holidays, these 5 destinations are made for you. Halfway between Western Europe and Eastern Europe:
- Portugal : it’s time to pack your bags to reach the country of Pasteis de Nata, the Tower of Belem and olive oil. The country offers many destinations as varied as they are affordable. For a family stay, we prefer places outside the tourist routes and we taste tasty and inexpensive cuisine (even in restaurants). Something to please the whole family without breaking the bank.
- Montenegro : yes this Baltic country has maximum wonder potential and minimum prices. We love its large spaces where children and parents will be able to stroll and contemplate the beauty fjords, mountains, canyons and coasts… Not sure I need to convince you more. Whether ? In summer, temperatures are very pleasant with an average of 33°C. Perfect for lounging on one of the 117 beaches.
- Bulgaria : very affordable country with breathtaking landscapes. Big plus of Bulgaria: the country is not very touristic. Thus, the accommodations (with or without swimming pool) are accessible to all budgets and the museums that dot your holidays are deserted: perfect for getting lost in the Fauvist paintings of the great Bulgarian master Vladimir Dimitrov.
- Croatia : in addition to being one of the countries where women traveling alone are the safest, the country is also perfect for traveling with family. Increasingly touristy, Croatia loses neither its charm nor its options at low prices.
- Latvia : another Baltic country among this top destinations where to travel with family on a small budget. Indeed, this country still too little visited deserves a look. Latvia and its capital Riga is one of the jewels of Eastern Europe, with its heritage from the former Russian Empire. The country is divided into two categories: large beaches that run along the Baltic Sea and dense forests for hikes as intense as they are mysterious.
All these destinations will make your next vacation unforgettable and allow you to please your family without feeling guilty at the start of the school year!
