You said “I do” for better or for worse, but why not start with the best? Your first step as a newlywed couple: the honeymoon! A honeymoon is the perfect way to decompress from the stress of wedding planning. Above all, it’s a time to enjoy each other’s company and create your first memories as a married couple.

‍

When we think of a honeymoon, we often imagine destinations on the other side of the world, like the Bahamas or Tahiti, but France is full of magical, exotic destinations for your wedding nights. Yes, there are paradise beaches, breathtaking views, and romantic spots just as grand as anywhere else. Discover our selection of the best honeymoon destinations in France.

‍

Book a heavenly honeymoon in France

Dreaming of fine sandy beaches, crystal-clear water, and relaxation? France has many destinations that combine all three. When we think of beaches in France, we instinctively think of the south and the French Riviera, but for your honeymoon, you might be looking to discover new destinations.

‍

‍

When it comes to idyllic settings with endless beaches, the Landes region is one of the most beautiful in France. In addition to being stunning, this unique region in Western France offers countless activities for every taste and preference. Treat yourself and rent an exceptional villa for your honeymoon in the Landes.

‍

A little further north, but just as exotic, is La Rochelle and its surrounding islands, which are also perfect destinations for a successful seaside honeymoon. To experience a special moment during your honeymoon, treat yourselves to breakfast in bed after a long, lazy morning. Or, indulge in a romantic experience in La Rochelle tailored just for the two of you.

‍

After spending your wedding surrounded by loved ones, having time just for the two of you is a welcome change. That’s what a honeymoon is for: enjoying each other exclusively and focusing only on your relationship. So, to feel like you’re the only two people in the world during a romantic getaway in an idyllic oceanfront setting, the Île de Ré and the Île d’Oléron are two particularly calm and serene destinations for your honeymoon.

The mountains for an open-air honeymoon in France

When it comes to choosing a honeymoon destination, some want to head to the seaside, but others prefer to save that for their summer vacations. So why not try something new and different for your wedding nights and head to the mountains? On the agenda: incredible landscapes, varied activities, rejuvenation, nature, green spaces, and exceptional accommodations.

‍

At Welkeys, our high-end vacation rentals are particularly well-suited for honeymoons in Megève. It’s not the first place that comes to mind when you think of a romantic city, but this mountain town is a little cocoon of love for couples. If you have a limited budget, the advantage of a honeymoon in France is that it’s easier to book an exceptional rental. Indeed, when choosing a honeymoon on the other side of the world, transportation costs take up a large part of the overall budget.

‍

Another destination in the French highlands that many couples dream of is Annecy. The city isn’t called the “Venice of the Alps” for nothing. With its canals, turquoise lake, and the Pont des Amours, Annecy is one of the most romantic cities in France. Perfect for an unforgettable honeymoon. Not to mention its delicious gastronomy, there is a high number of activities to do as a couple. Boat trips on the lake, paragliding, exploring the Old Town, etc.: the choices are endless depending on your desires.

‍

A honeymoon in the ultimate capital of love: Paris

How can we talk about a honeymoon in France without mentioning our world-renowned capital of love: Paris! An iconic destination for romance, it’s no wonder the city is the honeymoon choice for so many young couples.

‍

‍

To wrap up this selection, this is also the city where we encourage you to spend your first moments as a married couple. A Parisian stay is the perfect opportunity to enjoy the most cliché romantic activities, which are absolutely worth doing. This includes walking hand-in-hand along the banks of the Seine to the Pont des Amours to leave your padlock, or enjoying a dinner cruise on the Seine at night under the city lights.

‍

So, are you ready to rediscover France for your honeymoon? Book on the Club Welkeys to spend a magical stay in an exceptional property.
