What are the Top 5 Reasons for Visiting France?
It has everything that you could ever want to see and do on
your holidays: chic cosmopolitan cities full of culture as well as lights and glamour – such as Nice
and Monaco. Lakes, rivers, beautiful beaches of different types; sandy,
rocky, pebbly, you name it! France has more monuments than any other country
including 37 UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Abundant natural beauty, and
incredible mountain scenery awaits you, not to mention France's world renowned wine & gastronomy. Quintessential French Villages with their traditional
markets are perfect for exploring and tasting everything rural France has on offer. Sports fans need not be disappointed with sporting events such as the
annual Tour de France with a different route each year.
How do you get to the South of France?
The wide choice of airports and ferry terminals, together with a comprehensive high-speed (TGV) train network allows easy access to all parts of the country.
When Is The Best Time To Visit France?
Due to the varied climate – from sunshine along
the Mediterranean coast to snow in the Alps – France is ideal for a holiday of short
break all
year round. Whether it be a beach holiday in the Cote d'Azur, a skiing break in the
mountains, an activity holiday cycling along the Canal du Midi, or a cultural tour
around the medieval Cité of Carcassone, France has so much to offer. Plus there are
thousands of annual fêtes that take place in the towns and villages across the
country such as the Feria de Béziers in August or the fête du Mimosa in
February in Roquebrun in the Languedoc and Mandelieu-la-Napoule on the Cote
d’Azur.
France is THE destination for 2014, and it has
something for everyone, however you like to spend your holidays.
