France Travel Agent Professional

France is the world’s most popular tourist destination in the world.  Paris, of course, is its most popular city and one of the most fascinating and beautiful cities on earth. With glamorous buildings, chic cafés and more galleries than you could ever visit, Paris will not disappoint. When it comes to natural beauty, France can rival just about any other country in the world. France’s scenery is as diverse as it is beautiful, with the glittering coastlines of the French Riviera, the patchwork fields of the Loire Valley, the snow-capped Alps and centuries old harbor towns of Normandy. This, of course, is hugely appealing to people that love the outdoors. Rather than choosing between mountains and beaches, France offers both and a whole lot more. Everywhere you look you'll see great examples of France’s sublime architecture. This takes the form of cathedrals such as Notre Dame de Paris, Notre Dame de Strasbourg and many, many others, abbeys like Mont Saint Michel in Normandy, Abbaye de Sénanque in Provence, medieval market halls like a weekend day in Dives-Sur-Mer on the Normandy coast, and Roman temples and amphitheaters like the Maison Carrée in Nîmes, southern France. You can also admire typical regional architecture, such as the half-timbered houses of Normandy’s coast and back-road villages or the traditional Basque architecture in the villages of the French Basque Country. From the capital out to the provincial towns, the country’s buildings are all part of the incredibly diverse French landscape. France also has both the Atlantic and Mediterranean coastlines.  If you’re planning to visit France between late spring and early fall, I recommend you spend a day or two at the beach. Save the Atlantic beaches (especially Normandy and Brittany) for the summer months, as it will be too cold and windy before June and after September. Provence and the French Riviera, however, will be warm enough to visit in from late April to early October. Skiers of every skill level head to the French Alps in the winter season, including professionals, families, couples, and groups of friends. It’s not necessary to be a pro to experience skiing in France. Most resorts try to cater for every level, with wide open pistes on gentle slopes for absolute beginners; fast-paced, exciting red runs for intermediate skiers; and more challenging, daring black runs for the pros. There is often also access to some great off-piste areas for confident skiiers who want to explore ‘off-the-beaten-track’.  Email or call me and we can plan your trip to France!
