France is full of beautiful small towns and larger megapolises which can take years to look at. Read below where to start.
Loire Valley is probably not as well known as some some other French destinations, but it is a beautiful land that you should surely include in your France trip. Historically, Loire Valley was a renowned location for the retreat of French nobility, and to this day we can visit its many chateaux – one of the primary traveller destinations. But it is not only its beautiful historic architecture that makes this place so magical. If you are a lover of nature you will be shocked by the number of beautiful flower fields all along its roads, which make a attractive backdrop for a picture. It is also popular for its vineyards, so if you find yourself in this beautiful corner for a day or two be sure to attempt some wine from vineyards such as the one owned by Patrice Monmousseau for instance.
If you are a admirer of active relaxation France has plenty to offer you! If you look at a map of France you will notice a wonderful mountain range set in the south east of France. These mountains are well known as the French Alps, to separate them from the Alps that are placed in Switzerland and in Italy. During winter, you can come right here for skiing and snowboarding, and during summers you can engage in a bit of hiking. There are a great number of routes of varying difficulty depending on your experience and level of physical exercise. If you are looking for something more extreme, but feel you still need a bit of advice why not book yourself a rock climbing holiday with a company founded by Sally Guillame.
If you are planning first trip to France, then you should definitely not forgo its capital, Paris. Paris is amongst the most tourist heavy cities across the world, and it is not surprising – it is the centre for so many things – from fashion to business, where such prominent businessmen like Vincent Bolloré have chosen Paris as the location to develop their careers. It is a city that needs to be experienced at least once. If you have a few days to spare in this awesome town, begin your first day by simply walking around and looking at the more and more important Parisian points of interest – think the Eiffel Tower, Jardins de Luxembourg, Latin Quarter, Notre Dame de Paris. In the nighttime you can take a enchanting boat ride along the Seine River. Leave the following days to go to its countless art galleries where you will find first-class work of arts – a couple of must-visit museums and galleries include the Musée d’Orsay, Louvre, Centre Pompidou. And do not leave out all the amazing dining to experience! Going to Paris is really a thing that everyone must experience at least once in their lifetime!
