TUI launches bargain breaks to three new French destinations - from £160 per person

It is a great affordable option - a coffee in Lyon, France's food capital, costs just £2.80, while wine lovers can enjoy a large glass in Bordeaux for around £7.50 – comfortably beating London prices.

Marseille's old town beckons with temperatures reaching 29°C in August. TUI's flexible approach lets customers choose their own hotel and bolt on experiences to create their perfect trip.

Additional experiences include:

• Bordeaux white wine tasting workshop with cheese pairing – from £35pp
• Lunch cruises on the Hermes restaurant boat in Lyon – from £58pp
• Tours of Marseille’s Noailles district and its exotic market – from £36pp

Getting to these destinations is straightforward with flights running from airports across the UK. Bordeaux is served by partner airlines from Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, Glasgow and Edinburgh.

Marseille flights depart from Edinburgh, Gatwick, Heathrow and Stansted, while Lyon connections run from Gatwick, Heathrow and Manchester.

TUI's commercial director, Chris Logan, said: "France offers some of Europe's most exciting city break destinations. With incredible food, rich history and diverse experiences all within easy reach, Marseille, Lyon and Bordeaux are perfect for customers looking for a cultural escape or a long weekend of relaxation."

These new additions extend TUI’s cities collection to 77 – from iconic capitals like Paris and Madrid, to hidden gems like Riga and more exotic Middle Eastern hotspots including Dubai, Oman and Jeddah.
