 The diversity of traditions the contrasting landscapes and its history unfolding with its innumerable monuments and museums are enough reasons to place France at the top of the tourist destinations all over the world. Wherever you will stay, enjoy the delicious food of the French gastronomy with one of their famous wines.
A walk around the city of light will fascinate you. Although you will need weeks to visit the sights of Paris, France is not only Paris. Spend your Christmas holidays in Alsace, ski in the French Alps with their organized ski resorts, discover the prehistoric caves in Dordogne, gather shellfishes in the beaches of Bretagne at low tide, visit Mont Saint Michel in Normandy, do canoeing in Verdon’s gorge, have fun in the famous carnival of Nice or meet celebrities during the festival of Cannes.
If you visit France during the summer, enjoy the picturesque and rocky coasts of the ocean in the North of France or the beautiful sandy beaches in the South. Travel to Corsica, the island of beauty and be charmed by its crystal-clear sea and its wild landscape.
