France attracts more international travellers than any other country – here’s a few reasons why!  

Famed for its remarkable architecture, gastronomic delights and rich cultural heritage, there’s nothing this country hasn’t mastered. You can tick all your sightseeing desires off in one go with a visit to Paris; explore one of the many world-famous attractions, uncover history in the fascinating museums or be left in awe by the artistic treasures of the superb galleries. Then, you have coastal cities such as Honfleur, Nice and Cannes, where bustling promenades lined with trendy bars contrast with picturesque old towns.  

For holidays packed with spectacular scenery, you won’t fall short with France. The Provence region boasts everything from majestic rivers to fragrant lavender fields; the French Alps are home to snow-capped mountains, tranquil Alpine lakes and lush, green valleys; and the Dordogne region offers medieval cliffside villages, rolling vineyards and awe-inspiring caves. No matter where you choose to go, you’re guaranteed a feast for the eyes. 

And, with more than 40 UNESCO World Heritage Sites ranging from magnificent cathedrals to geological wonders, this really is a country of extraordinary diversity.

Escargot

Escargot, or cooked snails, are a beloved French delicacy that is usually served as an appetizer. We dare you to try them and see what all the fuss is about!

Bakery goodies

When the French mix flour, water and butter together, magic happens. Think golden croissants, delicate macaróns and crunchy baguettes – delicious!

Wine

It’s impossible to think of France without thinking of wine! If you’re a fan of whites, Alsaca and Loire are your go-to. Red lovers will be in their element in Bordeaux, or head to Provence if rosé is your favourite tipple!

Planning your trip

With so much on offer, you might need some inspiration! We’ve hand-picked a selection of favourite destinations and provided an overview of the very best highlights...

Paris

Paris Highlights

Eiffel Tower

A visit to the Eiffel Tower tops many travel lists! Built in 1889, there are many different ways to experience the tower; take in the views on a daytime trip, enjoy delectable dishes in the restaurant or venture to the top at night and be greeted by the city’s twinkling lights.  

Museums

Paris is home to plenty of remarkable museums, all showcasing the fascinating history, heritage and culture of the city. The Louvre is regarded as one of the finest art galleries in the world, and you’re guaranteed to be impressed by the Centre Pompidou, which is immediately recognisable by its exterior escalators and industrial pipes. 

Arc de Triomphe

The most monumental of all the triumphal arches, the Arc de Triomphe is one of Paris’ major landmarks. It was built to honour those who fought for France during the French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars, bearing the names of the generals on its inner and outer surfaces. 

French Alps

French Alps Highlights

Annecy

Tucked away in southeastern France, Annecy is a beautiful town situated on a spectacular lake – one of the largest in the country! Whilst the lake is the highlight of the town, the old town is also a delight to explore, lined with pastel houses and bright flower boxes. If you're a history enthusiast, be sure to visit the fascinating Musée-Château d'Annecy.

Chamonix

Lying at the foot of Mont Blanc – the highest peak in the Alps – Chamonix is a picturesque town surrounded by mountains, meadows and rushing streams. Home to some of the most spectacular scenery of the French Alps, make sure you take a ride on cable car which takes you to the top of Mount Midi!

Grenoble

Known as the ‘Capital of the Alps,’ Grenoble is nestled amongst the dramatic peaks of the Belledonne, Chartreuse and Vercors mountains. Combining breathtaking natural beauty with city pleasures, relax in the lively Place Saint André or take the iconic cable car over the city’s rooftops to the Fort de la Bastille – a 17th century fortress.

French Riviera
