Easter Breaks 2024 in France

France is one of the best places in Europe to spend Easter, with a host of exciting, unique traditions to get involved in!

If you’re looking to spend Easter in Paris, then you can visit the huge Easter egg hunt in the gardens of Vaux-le-Vicomte Castle, or wander around one of the springtime markets, sampling the delicious food and local wine. If you fancy some more sunshine on your spring holiday, then why not head down south to the Bessières community in southwest France, where on Easter Monday they create a 15,000-egg omelette to commemorate Napoleon’s feast on the same dish many years ago.

With P&O Ferries, you can experience Easter and spring in France with our Ferries to France. Once arriving in Calais, you can travel to whichever area you desire.
