You can drive from the channel ports to the South of France, it will only take you around 9 hours and you can very easily turn that part of the journey into a sightseeing adventure and an enjoyable part of your holiday, especially if you maybe do a stopover for one or two nights.

There are plenty of motels or Logis de France hotels on route that would be more than happy to put you up for a night or two at very affordable prices some starting as low as €32 for a twin room, or you could elect to do a bit of camping on route, even nicer if you know when you get to your destination that you have organised somewhere really comfortable to stay.

Once in the South of France you will find many options for very affordable accommodation, there are Chambre d’hote’s, self catering gites, an abundance of hotels or camping as an option and all this for the most part in a Mediterranean climate. Certainly that is true for Languedoc Roussillon, Provence and the Cote d’Azure even if it is not strictly true of the Limousin which is a little further north, but its still a very pleasant climate in this region as well at the right time of year.

Driving to the South of France is a wonderful way to see the country and experience some of the fantastic scenery on offer and of course you can elect to stay in or near to some of the beautiful cities both on route or at your destination.

Also you can of course decide how far down you want to drive, if 9 hours of driving (remembering you can split this up) is not to your liking then you don’t need to go so far South you could perhaps stay north of Paris, or a little south of Paris especially if you are not a dedicated sun worshiper and you are not necessarily seeking the heat of a Mediterranean sun. The benefit of staying close to Paris is that you can usually get readily available train links into the French capital and go visit without running the gauntlet of the Arc de Triomphe, OK I admit it not everywhere is good for self drive and a 6 lane roundabout is not for the faint hearted.

Some lovely locations to visit traveling North to South:

Senlis
Paris
Orleons
Limoges
Cahors
Toulouse
Monticoux
Bruniquel
Castelnau-de-Montmiral

Once you are this far south then there are loads of further options, Carcassonne is pretty special as are Montpellier, Nimes, Narbonne, Beziers, Perpignan and many more. All fabulous in their own right.

So don’t waste your day on an airplane, turn the time into an adventure and make your traveling time an enjoyable experience.

India Tourism can be quite tiresome and challenging at times. The most gallant and boldest of travelers might like an idea of having someone to guide them through innumerable cars, cows and people on streets and known the best season to visit a particular place. Visiting snow-laden lands of Ladakh in winters may seem thrilling but not when roads are closed and you are stuck in the middle of nowhere. Similarly, pilgrimage tours in India may offer a great opportunity to see exotic traditions and culture in India but if you are enochlophobic, i.e., you have fear of crowds, then Maha Kumbh Mela at Allahabad might not be a good idea for you. An India travel agent who helps you plan an India Tour after a long discussion can help you avoid such situations and keep your tour stress-free and enjoyable.
