Activity Holidays in France

Discover Activities in France

We have had an abundance of amazing experiences during our vacations in the beautiful French countryside and dynamic scenery of Majorca. During our trips we found several group activities in France that met the standards that Blue Ocean Activities in the UK enforces. This is why we have partnered with local providers of activity holidays in France to ensure that you can book with confidence.

During these adventure holidays in France, you will discover picturesque views at Lake Annecy, or as the French say, Lac d’Annecy! Make the most of this thrilling Alpine adventure as you navigate down gorges and waterfalls, scramble up rocks, and plunge off cascades. Via Ferrata offers unknown terrains, the unique sensation of high altitudes, and breathtaking views as you traverse over waterfalls, across rivers, down ladders, and into small valleys. Whether in France or Majorca, safety is paramount, and our experienced guides ensure every adventure is both thrilling and secure.

We also provide custom-made activities in France for parties of four or more, catered to your unique interests and requirements. Allow us to create an extraordinary experience just for your group.

Fantastic gorge walking activity with professional instructor. The whole experience, from booking to taking part was fantastic. On the day, quite a few of our group were a little nervous and Neil, our instructor, was excellent with our mixed ability group. We had non swimmers and some who found the Gorge walking more physically challenging and he made it enjoyable for all of us. This was a Hen do activity which i think will be remembered and talked about for years to come.
