Luxury France Vacation Guide
We’ve spent decades spent in the Alps' finest chalets, along the coast's most famed shores, and behind the doors of Paris's grand hotels. France delivers luxury in excess, and we know how to craft your perfect vacation around it.
- Discover revitalised heritage properties and chic new openings
- Private transfers and personalized service handled
- Stays vetted by our experts so we know the best location for any traveler
Few countries wear luxury as naturally as France. It’s the cut of a Parisian coat, the pour of a Burgundy at a village table, and the quiet confidence of a château that has welcomed guests for three centuries. This isn't luxury as spectacle, it's luxury as heritage, taste, and intention.
In the mountains, revel in a private chalet with a roaring fire and private chef after a day on the slopes, listening to your children talk about the friends they made in the ski schools. Along the coast, a clifftop view where lunch stretches long over rosé and the catch of the day. In the city, a suite where breakfast arrives with a view of the Eiffel Tower catching the morning light.
We've spent years building relationships with the chalets, hoteliers, and drivers who make a French vacation feel effortless — from the ski instructor who remembers your name from last season to the table service that knows how you take your coffee every morning. We handpick the accommodation that suits you, arrange how you move between destinations, and take care of every detail in between, so your time in France feels exactly as unhurried as it should.
Luxury Ski Vacations in France
The French Alps do winter better than almost anywhere else. Wide, immaculately groomed pistes give way to long lunches on sun-drenched terraces, and the aprés-ski here is an art form, with the sounds live bands drifting across the snow and dinner that starts with a fondue and doesn't finish until midnight. Every detail of our ski vacations is personalized around you: private instruction for a child taking their first turns, a mountain guide for off-piste days, a chef who plans the week's menus around what you tell them you love. The chalets and hotels we work with are chosen because they capture this at its very best.
Le Coucou, Méribel
A hotel with the soul of a chalet, Le Coucou pairs Alpine warmth with genuine design. Reclaimed wood, roaring open fires, and a terrace where you can catch the afternoon sun. It's relaxed while feeling elevated.
Aman Le Mélézin, Courchevel 1850
Set at the heart of Courchevel's most prestigious address, Aman Le Mélézin is Alpine luxury at its most complete with pine-panelled suites, ski-in ski-out access to some of the finest slopes in France, and the calm, considered service Aman is known for.
Chalet Machapuchare, Val d'Isère
Repeatedly named among the finest chalets in Val d'Isère, Machapuchare combines a dedicated chalet team with interiors built for long mountain evenings — think deep sofas, an indoor pool, and a kitchen turning out food worth staying in for.
Luxury South of France Vacations
The South of France has drawn the world's attention for decades, and Cannes and Monaco remain its most storied stages. A vacation timed around the Cannes Film Festival or the Monaco Grand Prix places you at the center of it, with the harbor full of yachts and the streets humming with anticipation. Beyond the headline events, the South rewards slower days: markets stacked with peaches and lavender honey, rosé poured on a terrace overlooking the Mediterranean, boutiques worth losing an afternoon to, and exclusive beach clubs where dining together feels restorative.
Les Roches Blanches, Cassis
Perched on the clifftops above Cassis, this hotel puts the Calanques on your doorstep. Hiking trails, hidden coves, and vineyards are all within easy reach, with views over the bay that make the terrace worth the trip alone.
Zannier Île de Bendor
A private island reimagined by the grandson of the artist who first built it as an escape for creatives, now revived in partnership with Zannier. Three hotels, a working café where locals still stop for their morning croissant, and a ferry running to the mainland every half hour, so island calm never tips into isolation.
Ärev, Saint-Tropez
Not the most opulent address on the coast, but among the most memorable with a welcoming atmosphere that guests and our own team return to again and again.
Luxury Paris Vacations
Paris does luxury with a particular kind of delicacy. The flagship houses of the Golden Triangle sit within walking distance of quiet courtyards and centuries-old passages, and an afternoon moves easily from browsing to a languid café session to an evening walk along the Seine as the light turns gold.
Cheval Blanc Paris
Widely considered the finest address in the city, with views over the Seine and the Eiffel Tower that changes character with the seasons. Rooms open onto glass balconies built for exactly this. As part of the LVMH family, it also opens the door to the maisons that built Paris's reputation for craft, Louis Vuitton among them.
Mandarin Oriental Lutetia, Paris
The hotel's history is told quietly through the building itself, including the period after the war when it opened its doors to concentration camp survivors. The surrounding neighborhood still feels unmistakably local, with residents out in the evenings and music drifting from open windows.
Hotel Le Bristol
Boasting a prestigious location on the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, Hotel Le Bristol is for the fashion-obsessed. The city’s first “palace hotel”, it’s dripping in style and lets guests enjoy panoramic rooftop views alongside onsite Michelin star dining.

FAQs for Luxury Vacations in France
-
We can build a vacation around both, arranging your stay, transfers, and tickets so the event fits naturally into a wider trip rather than dictating it.
-
While we offer exclusive kids club in the Alps, Ferrari driving excursions in Monaco, and private salon shopping experiences, we believe luxury experiences aren’t just about uniqueness – but also about how to do the ordinary in extraordinary ways.
You should absolutely still visit the Louvre but do it with a private guide whose expertise is specifically personalized to your distinct interests. Visit Champagne’s wineries for all day tastings but travel around via helicopter for a unique birds eye view of the vineyards.
Enjoy an expertly timed itinerary, so you’re never rushing from one place to the next and trust you’re seeing the absolute best of what’s around.
-
When it comes to the different excursions, yes. A good guide changes a destination, like a sommelier who knows a vineyard's history, a mountain guide who grown up on the slopes, or a Parisian who knows which passage to duck into off the main street. Our guides are suited to whatever you're hoping to get closer to.
