Paris is of course iconic, known for its art, history, and romantic atmosphere. But regions like Provence attract visitors with lavender fields, hilltop villages, and a Mediterranean feel. Normandy offers dramatic coastlines, historical landmarks, and charming towns, while Alsace stands out with its scenic wine routes and colorful half-timbered architecture.
Europe
France
France has a very varied landscape stretching from the Mediterranean to the North Sea. Who has not heard Mon Cherie and Allo, allo!? The country charms us in every way, and we say o la to the food and wine, the variety of entertainment, and the restaurants. We wish you welcome to shop with a big S.
France is surrounded by the coast—the Atlantic, the English Channel, and the Mediterranean Sea, where we walk cheerfully and casually on the French Riviera along with many other like-minded tourists. For a beach buff, Corsica is a natural destination of choice. For the romantic, we recommend an overnight in a romantic and beautiful castle—we have done that!
Skiing in France – Il est Magnifique!
To the east lay the snow-covered Alps with inviting and challenging skiing that attracts skiers worldwide. Many ski resorts are at very high altitudes, providing guaranteed winter snow. Val Thorens is the obvious choice for families traveling with children, while Chamonix offers perhaps more challenging ski experiences. French cuisine is among the finest in Europe – cooking and eating are part of the French culture and the French way of life.
