Highlights

⇧ The Eiffel Tower, Paris

The Eiffel Tower in Paris, built for the 1889 World’s Fair, remains France’s most iconic landmark. Rising above the Seine, the iron structure offers panoramic views from its viewing platforms and sparkles with thousands of lights each evening.

The Palace of Versailles, Versailles

The Palace of Versailles just outside Paris is one of the grandest royal residences in Europe. Its opulent Baroque halls, vast formal gardens, and the famous Hall of Mirrors reflect the power and splendor of the French monarchy.

Mont Saint-Michel, Normandy

Mont Saint-Michel is a medieval abbey rising dramatically from a tidal island off the coast of Normandy. Narrow stone streets wind up to the Gothic monastery at the summit, surrounded by sweeping sands that disappear beneath the tide.

The Louvre Museum, Paris

The Louvre Museum, housed in a former royal palace in the heart of Paris, is the world’s most visited museum. Its vast collections include masterpieces such as the Mona Lisa, the Venus de Milo, and Liberty Leading the People.

Provence Lavender Fields

The lavender fields of Provence burst into purple bloom each early summer across rolling hills around Valensole and Sault. Their vivid colors and fragrant air create some of the most recognizable and photographed landscapes in France.

The Loire Valley Châteaux

The Loire Valley, often called the Garden of France, is famous for its elegant Renaissance châteaux set among vineyards and river landscapes. Highlights include the fairytale Château de Chambord and the graceful riverside Château de Chenonceau.

The Côte d’Azur

The Côte d’Azur, or French Riviera, stretches along the Mediterranean with glamorous seaside resorts and sparkling blue waters. Cities such as Nice and Saint-Tropez combine beaches, historic quarters, and vibrant café culture.

Chartres Cathedral, Chartres

Chartres Cathedral, a UNESCO-listed Gothic masterpiece southwest of Paris, is renowned for its soaring towers and remarkable stained-glass windows. Much of its medieval sculpture and interior decoration has survived for more than 800 years.

The Alsace Wine Route

The Alsace Wine Route winds through eastern France between Strasbourg and Colmar, passing vineyards and picturesque half-timbered villages. Along the route, family-run wineries and flower-filled streets reflect the region’s distinctive Franco-German heritage.
