With culture packed cities, medieval villages and some of the best beaches in Europe, you’ll not have difficulty finding things to do and see in France. And that’s not mentioning its world famous cuisine, all those vineyards that dot the county’s landscape and the chic Alpine ski resorts.
Things to see and do in France
Eiffel Tower
It goes without saying, but we’re going to say it anyway. Drawing millions each year, the Eiffel Tower is the jewel in Paris’ crown. You’ll find it hard to escape, as it pops into view at the end of streets when you’re least expecting it! See it from afar, or take the lift to the top. The view is quite simply staggering.
Old Town
Nice’s old town, or Vieux Nice, is a charming warren of old fashioned streets, stairwells and alleyways huddled beneath the hill. Here you’ll get a taste of Nice as it was in the past, with beautiful houses and captivating little boutiques. There are also daily fruit and flower markets, which complete the atmosphere.
The Louvre
Another staple among Paris attractions is the world famous Louvre, renowned worldwide as one of the finest museums of art and culture in existence. Inside you’ll find the equally famous Mona Lisa. Bear in mind that The Louvre is vast, and if you want to see it all, you should plan at least an entire day.
Tour the vineyards of Bordeaux
The first thing you think when you hear Bordeaux is wine, and there’s certainly a lot of it here! The second-largest wine-growing region in the world is full of vineyards, many of which offer tours to visitors. Some of the best known are Château Haut Brion and Château Lafite Rothschild. Make sure you book in advance.
Beaches
The beaches in Corsica are some of the best in the world, and offer some great opportunities for swimming and sunbathing in comfort. No matter which beach you choose to go to, you’ll find plenty of snorkelling opportunities, while the busier beaches will offer windsurfing and even kite surfing.
Old Lyon
This is the largest Renaissance area in Europe after Venice, and is a trip back in time to the Middle Ages. Old fashioned narrow lanes run by the riverside, and its charming cobbled streets are home to craftsmen’s shops, cute boutiques and all manner of curiosities.
