France a popular camping destination

France remains a popular destination for British holidaymakers

France remains a popular destination among UK holidaymakers, thanks in part to its camping options.

Caravan enthusiasts often head to Brittany due to its lovely scenery and relatively cheap prices and it has been pointed out that the nation still holds appeal for Brits looking to get away from it all.

The Association of British Travel Agents noted that the country is still the second most popular place for UK residents to head on holiday.

Spokesperson Sean Tipton said: “In terms of visitor numbers from the UK it’s only a few years ago that Spain overtook France as the number one most popular foreign holiday destination and it is still number two”.

He added that this is a reflection of how dominant the country has been over the years and suggested that the dip in visitor numbers in 2009 is unlikely to change its popularity.

As well as Brittany, France’s capital Paris and other destinations such as Cote D’Azur, the Dordogne and the Loire Valley all hold appeal for UK visitors, Mr Tipton explained.
