Locations In France That Must Be Seen Before You Die
Paris is usually the first stop for anyone who visits France. There is a lot more to see in the country though, and here are just some of my own personal favourites. In order to get the full benefit of a country like France it is important that you spend some time there travelling around all the different parts.
- You will find the feudal village of Beynac situated along the banks of the Dordogne River. This beautiful area was featured in the film Chocolat and if you have seen that then you will already have an idea of it’s beauty. The entire area is like something from a fairy tale with the fabulous castle overlooking it. You really are missing a truly spectacular area of France if you have never been here.
- When the tide is out you can walk over to a tiny island and here you will find the beautiful Mont St Michel. This island has some tiny cobbled streets which are amazing and the abbey is probably one of the most famous in the whole of France. If you really want to get the most from this fantastic location then you should come when there are not so many tourists.
- An example of a truly fantastic coastal town is Nice which is right in the centre of the French Riviera. This is a great place for long walks are afternoons spend relaxing in the outdoor cafes. Nice was one of the first real tourist destinations in the world and people continue to flock there today.
- If you want to find a location which has a blend of both French and German culture then Alsace is the place to visit; this town has been passed between the two countries more than once over the years. This is a really special place and you can see from the buildings what happens when two cultures collide.
It is really good getting the English ferry (ferry angleterre) when visiting England. Quite often though, people enjoy using the Channel Tunnel (tunnel sous la manche). For thos wanting to stay in England (sejour angleterre), these are probably the best methods of getting there.
