The two new French destinations will take flight from next May.
Jet2 announced this week that it has once again expanded its offering to France for Summer 2027 from Manchester Airport, with the addition of flights and Jet2holidays at a Eurocamp park to two new French destinations - La Rochelle and Perpignan.
The consumer champion has put the new hotspots on sale from Manchester Airport from May to October 2027, giving holidaymakers the opportunity to enjoy an award-winning flight with Jet2.com or Jet2holiday at a Eurocamp park to these destinations for the first time.
Weekly Saturday services will operate to La Rochelle from May 22 to September 25, 2027. Customers looking to reach Perpignan can choose from two weekly services (Thursday and Sunday) from Manchester Airport from May 2 to October 31.
This latest expansion means that Jet2 has more than doubled its France programme for Summer 2027 and follows on from the airline and tour operator also putting on additional services to Paris and Bergerac, demonstrating its commitment to the region. As a result, customers have even more choice when it comes to saying Bonjour to a French getaway.
The enchanting port of La Rochelle is a hidden gem on the west coast of France. With its peaceful countryside, pine forests, rolling vineyards and charming riverside towns, from the moment holidaymakers arrive in La Rochelle they will be surrounded by the natural beauty of central France. Also within easy reach is Ile-de-Ré where customers will find cycling trails and sandy beaches.
The city of Perpignan in southern France sits near the Spanish border and is a vibrant spot rich in Catalan culture and history. Once the capital of the Kingdom of Majorca, it features the Palace of the Kings of Majorca, colourful markets and Mediterranean charm. Blending French and Catalan influences to create a truly unique atmosphere, this pretty part of the country offers an ideal mix of sunny beaches, delicious food and a laidback countryside atmosphere. Holidaymakers will have a huge variety of attractions on their doorstep, like seaside resorts, colourful markets and outdoor activities, making it perfect for both families and couples.
In addition to travelling on flights to this new destination, customers and independent travel agents can now also book a Jet2holiday at a Eurocamp park via La Rochelle and Perpignan Airports with the UK’s largest tour operator.
The Central France portfolio includes parks across the Charente-Maritime, Gironde, and Vendée areas, while the South of France offering covers the Languedoc and Roussillon areas. These newly introduced regions present an exciting opportunity for customers to discover more of France, with the added convenience of included car hire making it easy to explore the surrounding areas and attractions.
Offering families even more choice when it comes to booking a Eurocamp holiday, Jet2holidays has expanded its Eurocamp portfolio to include 46 parks across via La Rochelle and Perpignan Airports. With many of these parks featuring standout on-site aqua parks and family facilities, Jet2holidays packages with Eurocamp accommodation are ideal for families, couples and groups looking to enjoy unforgettable outdoor holidays across Central and South of France.
In addition to these new parks, Jet2 is also adding 34 new Eurocamp parks across Spain, Italy, Croatia, and Northern France.
The company’s Holiday Parks portfolio with Eurocamp parks will grow to 146 parks, giving customers even more choice for unforgettable outdoor holidays. It also means that Jet2 has its full offering of Jet2holidays packages with Eurocamp accommodation on sale for Summer 2027.
The addition of La Rochelle and Perpignan means Jet2 has nine French destinations on sale from Manchester. As well as the new destinations, the programme to France includes Bergerac, Chambery, Grenoble, Lyon, Nice, Paris and Strasbourg.
Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2, said: “We are delighted to be adding La Rochelle and Perpignan to our flying programme from Manchester Airport from Summer 2027 and expanding our offering in the region.
