Booking your own self-catering holiday property in France is the smart first move for a rock-climbing holiday.

You can easily drive from the UK right to your door, carrying your equipment in the car. When you arrive, the space is all yours, with room to spread out and store your kit.

With no set mealtimes and lots of interesting places to visit and eat out, you're free to set your own timetable.

Take to the mountains when the weather and conditions are just right and go sightseeing or swim in the pool in your garden when it's too hot or you need a rest !
