This summer, 22% of French people plan to book their holidays at the last minute. If this is your case, don’t panic: some destinations still have plenty of availability. Europe 1 gives you all the advice to choose your stay, and benefit from good plans.

If many French people book their holidays in advance, to take advantage of cheaper rates or more choice, others do it at the last minute. And they would be 22% in this case for this summer of 2023, according to the annual Europe Assistance barometer. But how to benefit from good plans even if you start it so late?

For those who have not completed everything in January, rest assured, you are not alone and there are still availabilities. First in France: Basque Country, Burgundy, Brittany, Normandy.

The heat wave and inflation, two decision factors

But not only, notes Laurent de Chorivit, director of operations of Evaneos, an agency specializing in responsible tourism. “Everything is no longer entirely, necessarily available, but there is enough to really do things well. In the Alps, for example, we have a partner who offers an easily accessible short tour of Mont Blanc. We have a partner in the south of France who offers a cycle tour along the Canal du Midi. And then the same in Corsica, with opportunities to discover the coast, once more in places that are not frequented by tourists at all, “he explains.

And then the last minute, it helpsadjust their vacation spot according to the weather or according to their budget. Heat wave effect, HomeAway has just seen a resurgence of reservations in the Vosges, over 20%, or on the Channel coast, over 30% over one year. And with the inflation effect too, destinations in the northwest quarter of France offer overnight stays up to half the price of those in the South.
