Hotels in this varied land of hilltop villages, alpine peaks and vineyard-stitched countryside are hopelessly enchanting
La belle France is as much about where you stay as what you eat and do. Hotels in this ravishingly varied land of hilltop villages, alpine peaks, cosmopolitan cities and vineyard-stitched countryside are hopelessly enchanting – and never more so than in summer when that chic lifestyle which the French do so enviably well moves outside.
Think luxurious treehouses in the rural Dordogne, design-hot villas on the Atlantic and Med seashores, historic chateaux with romantic dining beneath the stars, ancient riverside mills and urban hotels with rooftop bars – a collection of sublime summertime properties that have been rated and reviewed by Telegraph Travel’s France experts.
