Choosing a holiday destination is never easy, because we don't want anything to go wrong during our holidays. You probably prefer to stay near the beach, and especially in summer, rural houses near the beach are in high demand.
Making your holidays special is all about choosing the place where you want to stay. If you can already imagine yourself with your beach umbrella and swimsuit, bathing and enjoying the French coast, here is a list of tips for you to make the most of this location and the different types of accommodation in these areas.
Enjoy the proximity to the sea and get away from everything else!
CHOOSE THE AREA
France has several popular beach resorts throughout its territory, so it is important that you choose which one you want to visit on your next holidays. And the sooner you do it, the better, because these are places that are in high demand from the first quarter of the year onwards.
The Basque Coast, with beaches such as Biarritz, the famous Côte d'Azur from which Saint Tropez stands out, or the beaches of Corsica are some of the places with the greatest variety of rural houses close to them, as well as allowing you to enjoy the beauty of their landscapes.
Any of these areas will be simply spectacular so, which one do you choose?
SPECIAL NEEDS
You want to go to the beach but, like everyone else, you have your preferences. And as one beach is not the same as another, and each one has different services, we recommend that you define what your needs are, and on that basis choose your accommodation.
There are beaches that are usually more crowded and therefore have many more services than others, such as those of Corsica or the Basque Coast, which have a high influx of tourists. But there are also lesser-known, unspoilt beaches that are well worth a day's stay.
Find out what the beaches near your accommodation are like so that you can plan your day.
DISTANCE FROM THE BEACH
Finding a rural house or cottage near the beach is not easy. Distances are relative and that's why you have to know how far you are willing to walk to get to the first beach.
There are rural houses so close to the beach that they even have private paths that lead directly to them, meaning you will make it to the beach without investing a lot of time, a perfect option if you are travelling with the little ones as they tend to get tired easily.
There are other cottages are close to the beach but you have to walk a bit until you can leave your towel on the sand. Which one do you prefer?
ENJOY THE COAST
If you've already got your holidays sorted out, and you've managed to book a rural house near one of France's beaches, you can stop daydreaming and start enjoying your holiday on the coast.
You deserve a break and what better than to spread out your towel and lie under the French sun, enjoying the sound of the waves and that characteristic relaxed atmosphere where stress and being in a rush have no place.
As you can see, booking a holiday cottage near the beach is a great way to spend a perfect beach holiday.
