France is calling
France is one of the most visited countries in the world. It is in Western Europe, and it is a beautiful country rich in history and culture.
Paris is the capital city of France. It lies in the north of the country, and the River Seine runs through its centre. Here you will find many places of interest, such as the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe. You can visit the Louvre Museum if you like art. The most famous street in Paris is the Champs- lysées. This is the best place to go if you want to visit some world-famous department stores. A walk along the River Seine or a short break at a café are some must-dos in Paris.
If you want to get a taste of French wine culture, you should visit the Loire Valley. It is in the centre of France, and there are many vineyards there. The local farmers grow great grapes to make excellent French wine. And don’t forget to explore the beautiful castles there.
Nice is another most-visited city in France. It lies on France’s south-east coast, and is famous for its wonderful beaches. It is the perfect place for a summer holiday, but if you prefer to visit France in winter, you can go skiing in the French Alps.
France has something for everyone, so why not visit France this year
