The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Last Word On Travel: Off The Beaten Track In Europe's Hotspots

And it's the type of place that's kind of really nice.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Last Word On Travel: Off The Beaten Track In Europe's Hotspots

You could go even because it's such a short flight and a short transfer, you could even just go for three or four nights, you know, you could do a short break from it and just think it's something kind of different for France.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Last Word On Travel: Off The Beaten Track In Europe's Hotspots

A lot of people, when they think of France, particularly couples, you know, they tend to,

The Last Word with Matt Cooper

It's very much associated with families going and camping holidays and things like that.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper

So this would be a nice little break for people who wanted to explore France, but away from that sort of style.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Last Word On Travel: Off The Beaten Track In Europe's Hotspots

Very short flight and easy access.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Last Word On Travel: Off The Beaten Track In Europe's Hotspots

Yeah, you know, it's really, really hard to say.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper

I mean, I've been looking at flights certainly over the last few weeks and they don't seem to be going up.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Last Word On Travel: Off The Beaten Track In Europe's Hotspots

But in saying that, people seem there definitely is a bit of a slowdown in booking.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Last Word On Travel: Off The Beaten Track In Europe's Hotspots

You're talking to travel agents and people are just hesitant about booking.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Last Word On Travel: Off The Beaten Track In Europe's Hotspots

So maybe that's the reason the flights haven't gone up.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Last Word On Travel: Off The Beaten Track In Europe's Hotspots

Because the normal amount, the amount of people who would normally be booking holidays now,

The Last Word with Matt Cooper

And, you know, people are just waiting to see what happens, you know, whether they book, whether they don't book.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Last Word On Travel: Off The Beaten Track In Europe's Hotspots

And as you know yourself, any time there's uncertainty, people just kind of tend to not spend.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Last Word On Travel: Off The Beaten Track In Europe's Hotspots

So I think that's probably maybe the reason that they're levelling out.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Last Word On Travel: Off The Beaten Track In Europe's Hotspots

But certainly some of the prices I was checking out for these destinations today, like the likes of the New Roots, the place that people don't traditionally go to.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Last Word On Travel: Off The Beaten Track In Europe's Hotspots

I mean, that's where the value is really.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Last Word on Travel: Marrakech, Morocco

I went for five nights, actually.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Last Word on Travel: Marrakech, Morocco

Yeah, I started looking at all the different things to do over there and I realised a weekend break probably wasn't going to cut it.
