Although there can never be enough reasons to visit France, let us give you some of the best excuses to book our France tour packages right away:
If you’re a foodie, French cuisine alone should be a reason to visit the country. The French have elevated eating as an art form, so it is not surprising that their gastronomic meals are now listed as an intangible UNESCO cultural heritage.
Be it the crusty and warm baguettes, the fresh seafood, or the wholesome boeuf bourguignon, every day in France promises to be a culinary adventure. With our France tour packages, you can wake up to the aroma of freshly baked French bread, learn about the complex world of French sauces, enjoy French charcuterie, or visit Paris’ multiple patisseries.
Wine connoisseurs will have a gala time in France, as the country is well-known for its world-renowned wines. Almost every region in France has its own unique grape types and wine styles. While Bordeaux, Burgundy, and Champagne are the popular wine regions in the country, various bestselling wines and local favourites can also be found in specific regions and villages.
With our France tour packages, you can visit the many wine estates and vineyards that the country is home to. Indulge in wine tasting sessions and gain deeper knowledge about making wine through the wine tours we can organise for you.
French history is deep and rich from the reign of Louis XIV to the French Revolution, the declaration of France as a Republic, the rise of Napoleon, and the declaration of human rights in 1948. Battlegrounds, cathedrals, and churches in France make for some of the most popular sightseeing spots, including the Old Port of Marseille, Sacre-Coeur Basilica, the Palace of Versailles, and Notre Dame.
Cultural activities form such a vital part of the country that France has a Ministry of Culture in charge of the historical monuments and museums of France. The goal of the Ministry of Culture is to promote and protect the arts in the country and abroad, maintain the regional cultural centres of France, and keep up the identity of French culture. Several cultural events take place in France throughout the year. There is the Fete de la Musique, an event meant to promote music. It always takes place on the 21st of June, and professional and amateur musicians perform on the streets.
France’s rich cultural heritage is also reflected in its forts, castles, religious buildings, and medieval towns. France has almost 50 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the Eiffel Tower, Chartres Cathedral, Palace and Park of Versailles, and Amiens Cathedral.
The sights in France are not just about museums, galleries, and sidewalk cafes. France has diverse and unique landscapes, from mountaintops and gorges to rivers, vineyards, and quaint villages. These landscapes allow travellers to engage in various adventurous activities, including rock climbing, cycling, and cave diving.
On one hand, there are the snow-covered slopes of Mont Blanc, and on the other, there are the sunny beaches of Nice. The French Riviera is famous for its luxurious and flamboyant hotels and the celebrities who spend their holidays soaking in the Mediterranean sun. Whether you’re a beach person or a mountain lover, the landscapes of France will satisfy one and all.
The vibrant cities of France contain a mix of museums, enticing scenery, unique architecture, and historical sites. Of course, there is Paris with its galleries, exhibitions, festivals, and fairs. There is the city of Nice, which is home to stunning beaches, Baroque architecture, intriguing museums, and interesting markets. Lyon is known for its gastronomy, museums, theatres, ancient heritage, and the popular Festival of Lights.
When you wish to take a break from the hustle and bustle of city life, the French countryside offers the best escape. You will see high mountains, pink salt plains, scenic rivers, gorges, sandy beaches, and rolling green hills. Make sure to visit the highland region of Massif Central, the French Lake District of Limousin, and the lavender fields in Provence.
