French Country Hotels

Small, family-run hotels are a great French tradition. We have been offering short breaks across the Channel since 1984 and know exactly what to look for - lots of character, comfortable bedrooms, an attractive setting with plenty of interest in the local vicinity and, above all, a welcoming atmosphere and excellent cooking. We have worked with most of the hotels in our selection for many years and enjoy a special relationship with the hoteliers, who reserve a very warm welcome for Inntravel guests. Following the suggestions in our detailed and regularly updated customer documentation, you can use these hotels as a base for a weekend of leisurely discovery - explore out-of-the-way market towns, visit producers of local specialities, tour through scenic countryside or stroll along the coast.

Breaks include a Channel crossing with P&O Ferries from Dover to Calais and two nights' dinner and breakfast, except where stated.
