France Travel & Tourism

Explore the land of fine food and stunning wine by touring the country of France. Visitors flock to France to visit historical sites, tour famous museums and stroll through the eloquent gardens of scenic chateaus. Tour the suburb of Versailles, just 21 kilometers from Paris. The Palace of Versailles is an elegant testament to old-world architecture and fantastically sculpted gardens. Visit the city of romance by stopping in Paris, which features famous attractions such as Notre Dame, the Eiffel Tower and the river Seine. Stop at one of the many street side cafés to enjoy an éclair or a cup of pressed coffee. Drop by the northeast corner of France to view the scenic old-world town of Normandy. Visit the cobble-stone and timber houses in Rouen, the notorious Normandy fish market or the D-Day beaches just north of Bayeux. The Côte d’Azur, or French Riviera, is synonymous with wealth and scenic beauty. Located on this coast is Nice, which offers tourists relaxing resorts along the beach. Historical aficionados can visit museums and the remains of the Roman city Cemenelum. Escape from the crowds and claustrophobia of the larger cities by visiting Dijon, a small provincial city famous for the mustard that bears its name. France satisfies visitors looking for a large city’s cultural emersion or quite the opposite – an escape from it all.
