Flight time.
The flight from Auckland to France takes about 24 hours with a stopover. It’s a lengthy trip, but you’ll be rewarded with incredible landscapes, cuisine, and culture.
Land of Croissants, Castles, and Champagne!
Vive la France! A patchwork of vineyards, villages, slick cities and a rich rural tapestry, days in France can be as diverse as laid-back beach visits, followed by upmarket Michelin meals. There’s really no right or wrong way to see this incredible country, just as long as you take regular stops for French bread, paté and a crisp glass of white (in other words do as the French do).
Whether you’re dreaming of exploring the vineyards of Bordeaux, wandering the streets of Paris, or relaxing on the French Riviera, chat to our France travel specialists and let’s find your perfect holiday today!
Best time to go.
The best time to visit France is from April to June and September to October. These months offer pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and the chance to enjoy France’s charm without the summer heat.
Time difference.
France is 10 hours behind New Zealand, so there will be a time difference to adjust to.

"Steph was very helpful for my trip. I just emailed her the deal I wanted, the date to fly out & the names of who were travelling. She sorted the rest. Was super easy."
April"Easy to deal with, listened well."
Tina"Thank you so much for all of your help with our trip. We had tried out a few other companies but hadn’t got the help we needed. Sarah was amazing to deal with and had us booked within a day. She put in extra work to ensure we got the best price for the flights we wanted and gave us the option of a more flexible booking."

My journey through the tapestry of travel experiences has been enriched by my upbringing in England and my time spent living amidst the captivating landscapes of Western Australia. It's these diverse backgrounds that have instilled in me a profound love for travel and a deep understanding of the intricacies of exploring different cultures and landscapes.
My journey through countless destinations has ignited a fervent dedication to curating unforgettable travel experiences, not just for myself, but for fellow wanderlust souls seeking to fulfil their travel dreams. Whether you're yearning for the rugged thrill of backpacking, the tranquil family getaways, the opulence of fancy resorts, or the serene luxury of cruising, I'm here to weave together the perfect itinerary tailored to your desires.
I want to take the stress out of the planning so you can focus on the excitement of your trip. I am highly organised and like to ensure everything has been thought of and accounted for. Communicating clearly along the way with you so you feel confident and reassured.
