Travel to France
It goes without saying that France is famous for its incredible food, wine, rich history, architecture, and enviable lifestyle.
The largest country in western Europe, France receives more foreign visitors than any other country in the world. It’s easy to see why.
Many people head straight to Paris. It’s true, the City of Light is undeniably atmospheric, stylish, and packed full of world-class museums, galleries and iconic landmarks.
However, France’s true beauty lies in its regions.
Historic towns and châteaux pepper the rolling green countryside. Rustic vineyards, idyllic villages, forested volcanoes, towering snowy peaks, the sparkling Mediterranean coastline – there’s a romance to France that goes well beyond the cliché.
With so many different places to visit and things to see, France is a country you’ll want to keep returning to.
