Talking from experience

If you have a second home in France you rent to holidaymakers or are thinking about buying one, why not make your property stand out from the rest and consider offering experience holidays to your guests?

The holiday market is more competitive than ever. Increasing numbers of people are looking for a unique holiday experience where they can learn new skills or practise a hobby and come home with memories to treasure.

Not only are experience holidays great for the guests, but they will give your property a unique sales proposition and the opportunity to turn your own hobbies into a career and earn some additional income from them, while spending your days sharing your favourite pastimes with likeminded people.

There are a huge range of different options available when it comes to experience breaks, ranging from holidays for car and motorcycle enthusiasts right through to yoga and wellbeing retreats. Unsurprisingly, many of the most popular experience holidays in France revolve around food and the fabulous local produce of the area!
