Dog-friendly holiday destinations in France
So you want to go on holiday, but the dog wants to come too. Don't worry, there are many dog-friendly destinations. The countryside and the mountains offer wide open spaces where you can play with your dog in peace. Some seaside locations are also suitable for a holiday with the dog. Here are some tips on how to find the right dog-friendly holiday accommodation.
Dog-friendly seaside destinations
Playing in the waves, running on the beach, napping in the sun: these are what your pet loves to do most. Stroll near the port while enjoying an ice cream cone!
Bayonne is an excellent destination in the south-west to bring the dog. The Atlantic coast is full of endless sandy beaches. The Allée des Dunes*** residence near Bayonne is located just outside the town. This allows you to take the dog for a walk in the pine forest or even head to the beach on foot.
Many destinations on the Mediterranean coast are also pet-friendly. Head for the Camargue and its vast expanses of fields, marshes, ponds and sea! Le Grau du Roi is a great destination with many surprises in store. The Cap Camargue*** offers spacious and fully equipped accommodation. Your dog will have the time of their life, as will you! Relax by the pool or in the residence's wellness area after a busy day.
Dog-friendly holiday rentals
Finding a holiday rental that meets your needs and is pet-friendly can be more complicated than you expected. If you are looking for green landscapes, check out the Domaine des Monédières****. The complex features wooden chalets for up to 6 people in the heart of France's Corrèze department. The complex is built around a lake, in the Millevaches Regional Natural Park.
The mountains are also a dog's paradise in summer. You can go hiking together. Depending on the trail you take, there will be less back and forth at the end of the day than at the beginning! After the effort comes the comfort. While the dog chows down on a good bowl, you can enjoy Raclette Savoyarde (who said it was only for winter?).
