Boutique hotels in France

Baguettes, bicycles and Breton tops: so familiar is the French cultural landscape that a getaway across the channel has become a byword for effortless pleasure. That’s not to say the country could be summed up by a series of clichés – au contraire. From the windswept tip of Normandy to the crashing breaks of Biarritz, France is a tapestry of beautiful cities, masterpiece-inspiring landscapes and out-of-this-world culinary experiences. Experience a bit of joie de vivre in one of its elegant boutique boltholes.
