France Tourism & Travel Guide - Know Before you Go!

France Overview

France could rightly be designated as the world's most important cultural center. Receiving the highest number of tourists every year, it is gifted with splendid architecture, symbolic of its rich culture spanning across many centuries. Housing over 1,200 museums, more than 43,000 châteaux (castles), cathedrals, gardens, and basilicas, it has been ranked the number one tourist spot. The most popular is obviously Paris, with its famous Eiffel Tower and The Louvre; there is also the Paris Disneyland for the fun and frolic crowd. The terrain varies from coastal plains to mountain ranges. The Mont Blanc, part of the Alps ranges, is the highest peak in all of Europe. The hills and mountains, especially the Alps, are an ideal place for skiing. The Mediterranean coast of the French Riviera is the party spot for beach lovers. The Seine, Loire, Garonne and Rhone are all important rivers. Its many cozy cafés serve as grounds for informal academic debates, where people from all walks of life sit down for a breather. France also makes an ideal destination for honeymooners and lovers. It can simply be described as a place which brings joy in its purest form.
