Winter Guide 2022/23

The evenings may be darker and temperatures cooler, but don’t let that stop you enjoying the very best France has to offer. Winter is the season of snow sports, Christmas markets, light shows, cosy hotels, spa breaks and shopping ’til you’re dropping. Use our guide to make the most of the cold season. As the French writer and philosopher Albert Camus once wrote: “In the depths of winter, finally I learned there was, within me, an invincible summer.”

Created by Dominic Bliss, our Winter Guide covers the best Christmas markets in France, gourmet gifts to put under the tree, and exciting festivals as well as suggestions for a relaxing winter break.
