Self Guided Holidays - do your own thing
Our self guided holidays in France offer complete flexibility - you can choose how much walking or sightseeing or other activities you want to do, all at your own pace around the Drome valley, Vercors National Park and northern Provence. Plus, you can arrive on a Saturday but depart on any day (subject to availability), giving you the chance to take a short break or an extended holiday.
Maximum enjoyment, complete freedom
Our extensive collection of maps, reference books and walking notes are all at your disposal. What’s more, we can provide details of vineyards and wineries to visit, offering free tastings, plus where to find markets and other venues to sample or buy the best local produce. You won't need to do any research or waste any time, we've done all the work for you.
Our standard self guided holiday is based on seven night's accommodation, including meals and picnic lunches, staying in a wonderful guest house with large en suite bedrooms, swimming pool, English library and stunning views.
To get the most from your holiday, we recommend hiring a car if you are arriving by air or rail. The TGV from the UK is a great way to reach us.

Or hire something…
You could hire a bike (electric or ‘trad’) take a canoe trip down the river Drome with your picnic lunch, or spend a day touring on horseback, it's all great fun and easy to arrange. Or do a driving tour, and spend a day at the Pont du Gard or the Pope’s Palace in Avignon further south.
Or take it easy.
Or you can explore ancient villages, visit the numerous tiny chapels and churches, buildings from Roman times, go wine tasting, and much more. It's one of the best locations for self guided walking in France. Or just relax down by the pool and work on your tan.
