Travel Guide

France

France is a country in Western Europe, filled with Mediterranean beaches, medieval cities and alpine towns. The country is renowned for its rich heritage and vibrant culture including art, music, fashion and literature, along with delicious wines and sophisticated cuisine. Paris, its capital, is famed for fashion houses, classical art museums such as the Louvre and monuments like the Eiffel Tower. But other cities like Saint Malo, Nantes and Nice offer quieter and just as lovely experiences, so make sure to get enough of those baguettes, croissants and cheese no matter where you end up.
