Destination overview

Famous for its art, culture, food and wine, France is one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations.

It’s a bounty of effortless glamour, an unrivalled cafe culture and the architectural and artistic marvels throughout France’s most iconic city that make Paris the most frequently visited city in the world. Attractions like The Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, the Arc de Triomphe, the Sacré Coeur and the Avenue des Champs-Elysées must be ticked off every bucket list on a trip to Paris, while the many boulevards and bistros beg to be explored.

It isn’t all about Paris though, with the rest of the country promising as much spirit and quintessentially-French energy as the capital. If you’re hungry for beachside relaxation interspersed with hikes and ocean dives, you’ll fall in love with Corsica, or if history is more your thing, you’ll relish time spent in the many museums and medieval towns of Normandy.

Rolling hills and plunging valleys plus a warm, sunnier climate are hallmarks of Brittany, which is where the magic of rural France pervades. Rochefort-en-Terre, Saint Malo and Rennes all promise to offer charming glimpses of rustic French living, with cobbled streets, a sleepy energy and of course, a traditional boulangerie offering croissants, baguettes and brioche.

No trip to France would be complete without a visit to one of the country’s esteemed wine regions. Whether it’s champagne in Champagne or a robust red in Bordeaux, sipping a glass of your favorite wine against a backdrop of hills, vineyards and the odd chateau will create memories that will last a lifetime.
