Car Rental
Car rental is an excellent option for those travelling for 2 to 3 weeks. When choosing your rental car you should take into consideration what you intend using it for during your holiday. If
you are planning a driving holiday, travelling longer distances on the motorways and/or transporting your luggage, we strongly recommend a minimum 1.4 litre engine capacity for two adults.
European motorways are renowned for traffic speed, therefore a more powerful vehicle is better suited to the driving conditions, as well as to your comfort. If the vehicle is to be used for day
touring from a central base when you will not be transporting your luggage, a smaller vehicle suitable for the number of passengers will be adequate, and may be easier for parking.

Luxury Barging Holidays – Afloat in France
If you prefer to relax and take in the countryside while someone else
does all the hard work, why not consider a cruise on one of the luxury
hotel‑barges run by Afloat in France? Travel in elegance and comfort
through France’s most iconic countryside: the Loire Valley, vineyards of Burgundy
and the colourful landscapes of Provence. With the gentle pace of the cruises and
the extensive knowledge of your on‑board guide, it will be impossible not to feel
completely immersed in the essence of rural French life. The on‑board chef shops
at a local market each morning to stock up on the freshest local produce. A high
crew to guest ratio ensures the highest standard of service throughout all aspects
your journey. Each barge has been carefully constructed and beautifully furnished
and each has an individual style. All are spacious and offer modern comforts such as Hirondelle
air‑conditioning and showers. The barges are accompanied by a minibus available
for guided visits of the region, or you can explore at your own leisure on one of the
bicycles provided on board.
Tempo Holidays offers a variety of itineraries in the Provence and Rhône Valley on
the Napoleon (6 cabins) and the Loire Valley, Burgundy and Franche‑Comté on the

In 2010 Tempo Holidays offers a selection of escorted coach tours
that include a visit to the bavarian town of oberammergau to view
the world renowned Passion Play.
In 1633 the town of oberammergau was affected by the Great
Plague that swept Europe with many losing their lives. The villagers
made a pledge if they survived this mystery illness they would
perform a passion play every 10 years depicting the life and death
of Christ. As most of the town was spared, the villagers kept their
promise with their first performance in 1634.
The play has taken place ever since, making it one of the oldest running
performances. World renowned the pageant takes place over 5 months
with over 2,000 performers, musicians and stage technicians, all residents
of oberammergau. The cast members start rehearsals 10 months prior
to the event and male actors grow their hair and beards to provide an
authentic experience. The pageant is performed in German and runs
