France is one of the oldest countries in the world and has an abundance of history, culture and art. Whether you are planning to travel to France to spend time in Paris or instead explore the cities and towns of the countryside, year-round events and seasonal attractions make any time a great time to travel to France.
The capital city of Paris, considered a top romantic destination worldwide, is divided into 20 districts, each with a unique flair and its own set of things to see and do. Some of the most popular highlights include the world famous museums like the Louvre, or the centuries old cathedrals like the Notre Dame. And what vacation in Paris is complete without a trip up the Eiffel Tower? And wherever you turn, you'll be able to find plenty of bakeries, cafes, and bistros with tasty fresh French food ready and waiting - don't forget the glass of wine, and save room for dessert as French ice cream is delicious. Evenings are for enjoying the pleasures of Parisian theater, concerts, ballets, cabaret shows, the latest disco, and a visit to a jazz club.
If you have time, be sure to explore beyond the borders of the capital - a high speed rail network makes cross-France travel very efficient, but you can also rent a car and drive. There are the country's famous vineyards to be seen, centuries old Roman ruins and breathtaking cathedrals, and small towns that are flourishing art and culture centers. And again, you'll always be close to some tasty artisan food and drink, which is an important part of French culture.
When you travel to France, you're almost guaranteed an adventure - a cultural, culinary, and historic adventure, guaranteed to make for a memorable vacation.
