From the small fishing ports of Brittany to the large seaside resorts of the Côte d'Azur, from the vineyards of Bordeaux to the summits of the Alps, France offers very varied but always enchanting horizons. In a mosaic of soils with marked identities, you will also appreciate the richness of its cultural, architectural and gastronomic heritage.
Do you prefer the sea, the mountains, the countryside? Small peaceful villages or the bustle of big cities? In France, you are bound to find the ideal place for your vacation. On the coast, you can choose between the softness of the Channel, the beautiful waves of the Atlantic or the sun of the Mediterranean. And of course, you will be able to practice all the water sports you want. Inland, discover the castles of the Loire, the hilltop villages of Provence, the Canal du Midi, Corsica, the Tarn gorges or the Ardèche. And, in winter, take advantage of the largest ski area in the world to enjoy long hours of skiing.
Of course, a stay in France without a stop in Paris would not be quite perfect. The City of Light fascinates with its beauty and its monuments. On your first visit, don't miss the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame de Paris, the Sacré-Coeur, the Champs-Élysées and, on the museum side, the Louvre and Orsay. But also take the time to stroll in the Marais, in the Latin Quarter or on the Grands Boulevards to do some shopping or to take a break on a pleasant café terrace. Take advantage of the diversity of Parisian restaurants to discover all the treasures of French gastronomy: seafood, bouillabaisse, foie gras, cassoulet, fondues, mature cheeses and wines from all regions.
But many other cities are dream destinations: Marseille for its Old Port, its Notre-Dame de La Garde basilica and its MuCEM, Lyon for its Gallo-Roman heritage, its Saint-Jean cathedral and its Fine Arts museum, Toulouse, the magnificent pink city, Bordeaux for its historic center, classified as a world heritage site, Strasbourg for its Gothic cathedral and its peaceful La Petite France district... And plan to come back to France if you haven't had time to see the Versailles castle, the Mont-Saint-Michel, the cliffs of Étretat, the volcanoes of Auvergne, the Annecy lake, Rocamadour...
