For a Christmas market with a difference, why not enjoy a great-value December getaway to the Cote d'Azur? It may sound an unlikely winter destination, but the glamour of this famous resort is year-round and with accommodation from £47* per room per night at Mimozas Resort, and return flights from just £81.07 in December** you don't need an A-list budget for this festive escape.

The magnificent Christmas Village is open throughout December on Les Allees, where you can enjoy mulled wine, champagne and seafood bars, as well as a host of stalls amongst the 60 chalets offering original seasonal gifts.

There's plenty for all ages to enjoy, with Father Christmas visiting from 13 to 24 December, a fairground  from 5 December to 4 January and, best of all, a 200 square metre ice rink, with free skate hire, open daily until 8.30pm.

Stay at Mimozas Resort in Cannes-Mandelieu, which is offering super low introductory rates as it transforms under new management, with three-night room-only breaks starting at just £140 in December, based on two adults sharing a large studio room.

The provençal-style buildings also house a range of apartments, with prices from £78 per night for a one-bedroom apartment, all with their own private balcony overlooking either the lake or the golf course, plus separate sitting rooms and all the comforts of home.

Renowned as the destination of choice for the rich and the famous, Cannes is buzzing all year round and you'll find a host of attractions within easy reach of Mimozas Resort. Discover the beautiful village of La Napoule, just a ten-minute walk away, or stroll along Mandelieu beach and enjoy the mild winter climate.

Golfers will love the Old Course, adjacent to the resort. Founded by Grand Duke Michael of Russia in 1891, this was the first golf course under Mediterranean skies and has been enjoyed by royals and celebrities for decades.
