FranceDestinations in France Far beyond Spain or the United States, France is one of the leading tourist destinations in the world with a country chock full of colorful culture, rich foods, heady wine, breathtaking attractions, and a vivid history.
From the romantic capital of Paris, to the rolling countryside, the snow-covered Pyrenees to the sunny French Riviera, France is a country whose philosophy consists of freedom, love, and only the best pleasures of life. Paris, almost a metonymy for the country itself with its Eiffel tower, Arc de Triomphe, and Louvre Museum, is home to 2.5 million people. After making the rounds to the usual tourist destinations, Avenue des Champs-Élysées, Centre Georges Pompidou, Notre Dame and Versailles, take up random strolls through Paris’ quartiers with their eclectic mixture of cafes, shops, bakeries, and restaurants. Want to recline on sunny beaches in the cool shade of swaying palm trees or swim in warm, blue waters of the Mediterranean? France’s French Riviera combines the ideal weather with a smattering of quaint seaside towns, from Nice to Cannes, the latter of which is host to the international Cannes Film Festival every May. Normandy is the historic city inhabited by the Duke of Normandy, who then went on to become King William I, and later, the site of the Allied Forces’ D-Day Normandy Invasion on June 6, 1944 to reclaim German-occupied France during World War II. It's famous for its rich, rolling countryside and is a major dairy producer of cheeses, butter, and cream. Whether you decide to go to France for the country, the beaches, or the sprawling cities, this country is a modern and historic treasure trove for the tourist looking to fulfill their senses and romantic spirit.
