France is the number one travel destination for people all over the world. Naturally stunning, it’s where you can enjoy much of the best food, wine, fashion, culture, art, and architecture on the planet. With 13 regions, it’s geographically and culturally diverse. Southern France and Corsica have a Mediterranean climate with hot summers and mild winters, while the west and north of the country experience cool winters and mild summers. This makes it the perfect place to enjoy any time of year. It’s why the locals “flâner” – wander aimlessly through their cities in joy – a concept so French that the word has no English equivalent. Indeed, it’s the place you’ll be planning your next visit to before you’ve even left the country.

There’s so much to love about it that it's almost hard to decide where to go and what to see and do first. Audrey Hepburn knew what she was talking about when she said: “Paris is always a good idea”. Known as the ‘City of Lights’, Paris is considered the most spectacular city in the world. It’s elegant and romantic, and there’s always something remarkable to see. Whether a national monument, like the Arc de Triomphe, Eiffel Tower, Louvre Museum, or Notre-Dame Cathedral, or a small, cobbled laneway famous for something as simple as a rich smooth chocolat chaud (hot chocolate). This is the city for food, wine, culture, shopping, and bliss!
Then there’s picturesque Sarlat, the capital of Périgord Noir, a medieval city that’s protected from modernism. It has more than 65 untouchable monuments and buildings, making it the densest locale for historic treasures in the country.
The scenic city of Bordeaux is where Parisiennes say they would live if they didn’t live in Paris. Among its fine sights, Bordeaux boasts the most beautiful cathedral in the country, the gothic-style Cathédrale Saint-André de Bordeaux. The city is surrounded by vineyards that produce world-class wine. No other wine region anywhere has as prestigious a collection of names as here.
