Rentals Make Vacations In France More Comfortable For Your Family

by Guillaume Ronnoco

French regions have individual histories, distinctive cuisines, characters and cultures. This mixture has continued to fascinate and attract millions of tourists every year. Anyone who has visited France understands why it leads other countries as an international tourism destination. Among those who arrive, a growing number elect a slow traveling mode by staying longer in a particular location. For these visitors letting on vacation is a preferred option.

As indicated by statistical data released by the UN World Tourism Organization, 2012 would be a record setting year for international tourism with one billion tourists marking a new high. In 2011, more than 980 million travelers were counted. The most visited part of the world remains Europe and within it France has lead once again with visitors exceeding 79 million.

A record of 467 million tourists in 2012 was counted between the first six months by UN WTO. It is known that foreign tourism is at a peak during July and August, while 45 percent of tourists travel within first 6 months of a given year. The new data for 2012 indicated that the count in 2011 would be surpassed.

The country has 22 regions and 96 departements or county level units of government. Fabulous architecture, world famous cuisine and wine, its beautiful landscape steeped in history is a constant draw for visitors from afar. The rugged coastline of Brittany, spectacular scenery and medieval villages of the Dordogne, the mountains of the Alps or the sunny sophistication of the French Riviera reflect a regional diversity that keeps travelers coming back for more.

A variety of places to rent can be found available to let whatever your taste. Self catering cottages, farmhouses, villas, manor houses and self catering apartments in cities are among a wide selection of rental choices on offer. Typically rentals will rent from one Saturday to the next. Rentals are let in one week segments as normally travelers stay for this amount of time. Accommodations are supplied with everything needed to stay in comfort. But, food is normally not provided. Some rentals may have a welcome basket supplied for new arrivals. Usually cleaning is done before new arrivals and after they leave.

After deciding your destination, it is prudent to see if there are any reviews available. This will indicate what can be expected. A careful research of available material will increase odds of a pleasing outcome. Partial advance payment is usually due upon reserving a place. The remainder of this payment may become due 1 or 2 months before arrival. Last minute cancellations should not be contemplated, as they are not acceptable as a norm.

Most travelers arrive in summer months. Tourism in this period runs from June through September. July and August are peak travel periods. Winter tourists who arrive for skiing come between December of one year and April of succeeding year. Peak travel period during winter is from December to January.

Gites are typically selfcatering rentals in rural France. Their attraction lies in that they are cheaper than hotels and nicer than tents or campers. Such lodging is often a refurbished cottage or a transformed barn. These originally offered only simple comforts. But things have changed. Now, many offer more luxurious settings, especially if publicized abroad. Available rentals can suit any holiday budget and accommodate different preferences. There are so many options now, it is hard to chose between them.
