Gorgeous castles? Check. Amazing food? Check. Arts and culture? Check and double check.

Currently ranked as the most-visited country in the world, France has more individual tourist attractions than almost any other nation. From big metropolises like Paris and Lyon to beach towns like Marseille and Nice, not to mention the stunning beauty of rural France, any kind of vacation you want can be found somewhere in France. Quiet, sleepy Germanic towns like Dordogne showcase the magic of France’s medieval past, while on the other side of the country you can see palm trees and Hollywood glitterati. And the best part is that no matter what you like, you can travel from one place to the other in only a few hours!
