A few days after the long weekends in May, the summer holidays take place. After the many restrictions linked to the Covid pandemic, it is now the economic context that is slowing down the French people’s desire to leave. Cheaper and less crowded, the month of July should see higher attendance figures according to several studies. In view of the soaring prices expected in August, French and foreign holidaymakers will favor the month of July.
According to the study conducted by Kayak, the French are planning to go on vacation by plane more than before for this year 2023. Research has increased sharply with regard to Europe, unlike 2019. The figures reveal an increase of 42%. It should be noted that the government has recently decided to prohibit flights whose plane journey of less than 2 hours can be made by train, such as the Bordeaux-Orly line.
The train is not immune to inflation, despite the advantageous offers offered by OuiGo, the SNCF has increased its prices following the increase in rail toll rates. Aviation, on the other hand, sees domestic flights undergo a 23% increase compared to the summer of 2022. European flights are 15% more expensive, according to Kayak.
These various data provided make it possible to justify the interest in European destinations for tourists. At least in July, no less than 20 European cities stand out.
