The Best Destinations In France 

Whether it’s an ultra-modern urban experience, a visit to a rustic old cobbled town, or the lush countryside or beach that tickles your fancy, it can be found in France.

Paris

As France’s capital, there really was only one place to start. One of the most visited cities in the world, Paris is most famous for the Eiffel Tower watching over the tranquil Seine River, but there’s so much more to it than that.

The Louvre, the Arc de Triomphe, and Versailles Palace are also incredible attractions. The Montmarte and Marais shopping districts are picturesque and historic that offer an opportunity to enjoy Paris’ more serene side and sample the local cuisine.

Bordeaux

Of all the major cities in France, Bordeaux is most in touch with its not too distant past. Walking down some of the city streets feels like stepping onto a scene from 18th century Europe.

Also known as the world headquarters of wine, Bordeaux is the home to many chateau owners and is steeped in an air of aristocracy. Existing side by side is an emerging modern art deco scene. It creates a nice blend of mature dignity and modern zest.

Nice

Nice is the capital of the Côte d’Azur, a beautiful region that stretches along the Riviera from St Tropez to the Italian border. It is curved around an amazing stretch of Mediterranean beach called the Bay of Angels. Enjoying up to 300 days of bright sunlight a year, Nice is a sightseer’s delight. Hours can be spent wandering the gorgeous Promenade Des Anglais, right on the seafront.

Nice’s old town is a hidden treasure where a vibrant market scene lies in wait.

Lyon

France’s second-largest city is a more understated antithesis to Paris’ excitement and expressiveness.

Elegant museums, awe-inspiring architecture, and a UNESCO World Heritage protected old town that offers one of the best period experiences in Europe are all highlights.

It’s possible to walk the winding, narrow streets and passageways that were used by silk merchants from an era long past.

The food scene is also a well-kept secret, wonderfully traditional cuisine exists alongside dazzling contemporary offerings from new-generation chefs.

Artists, musicians, philosophers have romanticized France’s joie de vivre for centuries, both its people and its cities and landscapes exuding an artistic beauty that’s best experienced in person. Anyone who takes a trip to see for themselves will surely not be disappointed.
