What to see and do in France
Cities old and new
Paris: with its decadent buildings, seductive café culture and undeniable air of romance, the City of Love is the crown jewel of the already sparkling France. But get ready to open up your heart to the rest of the country with the riverside sophistication of Lyon and the medieval history of Strasbourg. Down on the southernmost coast, the glamour continues with the allure of the French Riviera shimmering out against the Mediterranean Sea.
Countryside
The lavender fields of Provence sway gently in the breeze, the medieval splendor of Mont St Michael sits mightily to the north with the vineyards of Bordeaux to the west. From the snow-capped peaks of the Alps to the sun-drenched waters of les Gorges du Verdon, the rolling meadows of the Loire Valley to the crumbling châteaux dotted all over the country, France offers something new at every turn.
Unrivalled gastronomy
When it comes to good cuisine, the French have perfected the art. Buttery croissants that melt in your mouth, freshly baked baguettes and pastel colored macaroons. Rich beef bourguignon paired with a glass of velvety red wine. A generous helping of tartiflette oozing with cheese. Chocolate soufflé that lightly melts in your mouth….have we persuaded you yet?
