The South of France has long been a favoured destination for holidaymakers; the warm Mediterranean sun combined with the fine cuisine has acted as a magnet for tourists. Flying down to the region takes the bulk out of the travelling while the use of a hire car will allow visitors get the most out of this magical stretch of coast.

France is a country that is steeped in history and wherever you turn, you can see the magnificent buildings and monuments that have been constructed throughout the centuries.

The first signs of civilisation around the Paris region of France date back to around the fourth millennium BC where dug out canoes have been found.
