France
It’s one of the world’s preferred countries to travel… and for good reason!
After all, France pretty much has it all.
From alpine adventures to wineries wanderings, charming chateaus to beautiful beaches, whatever type of adventure you’re looking for, France probably offers it.
Many being their trips of course in the cultural epicentre of Paris – where at least a week can be spent taking in the wealth of museums, galleries, cafes, cathedrals and day trips to nearby Versailles, Giverny and even Disneyland!
To the north, the rural regions of Brittany and Normandy brim with fresh produce, great cider, amazing cheese and important war sites, while to the east, picturesque Alsace is a hotbed of Medieval villages, vineyards and cycle routes that exude an almost Disney-like charm.
The Alps of course offer renowned skiing during the winter and mountain biking in the summer, while the Mediterranean coast is awash by bouji beachy and yuppy yachty manoeuvrers.
And in between, there’s a whole lot of, well, France.
From the Loire Valley to Limoges, Aix-en-Provence to Annecy, is it any wonder really that no matter how many times you visit, France always leaves you wanting more!
