This is the ideal season to enjoy the mild climate, the blossoming flowers and the landscapes that come back to life. Perfect for a weekend in the green, between hikes, picturesque villages and local tastings.
Holidays on the farm: Imagine waking up to the crowing of the rooster, sharing a special moment with the animals, and enjoying the absolute calm of a farm in bloom.

Summer rhymes with sun, swimming and lazing around. But to avoid the crowds, why not improvise a departure off the beaten track?

Holidays with family or friends : Gather your tribe around a barbecue, enjoy a garden with games, and share plancha or raclette evenings under the stars.
Golden leaves, morning mists and seasonal specialities... Autumn is perfect for a weekend cocooning, gastronomy or heritage.
Oenology break : Immerse yourself in the vineyards of Alsace, Beaujolais or Bordeaux, meeting passionate winemakers. It's harvest season, golden colours and warm cellars.

You don't need a whole week to get away: aweekend in the mountains or in a warm guest room is enough to recharge the batteries.

Snowy holidays: Put on your mittens, put on your skis or snowshoes, and find yourself in a cosy chalet just a stone's throw from the slopes. Between toboggan runs, hot chocolates by the fire and fondue evenings with friends, experience a rejuvenating winter in the heart of the snow-covered mountains.
Whether you prefer the beach, the mountains or the countryside, there's always a Clévacances accommodation within easy reach.
Pack your bags, the road awaits... even at the last minute! 😉
