France sits in the middle of Western Europe and also at the center of many tourists' wish lists when visiting the continent. You can spend several lifetimes seeing the sights of Paris, lounging on Riviera beaches or wandering the battlefields of Normandy. To narrow down your trip to the span of your vacation time off, focus on your top reasons for visiting the country.
Two centuries after Waterloo, I think it’s fair to say that any serious neighbourly grievances we may have once had with the French have long been laid to rest. And last weekend, watching the tricolor being projected onto the National Gallery and Tower Bridge was an emotional moment which reminded me just how much feeling I had for France and its people.
That France is suffering from its place in the front line in the battle against bigotry and intolerance is likely to mean some inconvenience for travellers. Although security arrangements at stations, ports and airports have not seen major changes, it does seem likely that the intense national security regime will mean longer queues at travel hubs and iconic sights at least at busy times.
But let’s hope that while terror has failed to prevail over free speech, it doesn’t enjoy an alternative victory in dissuading people from visiting France. After all, is there another country on earth with so much to offer holidaymakers? As our extensive guide to France in 2015 shows, think of almost any type of holiday, and you will find it here.
In search of a glamorous beach? Head for the Côte d’Azur. For family sands? Brittany. Maybe you prefer a villa or a cottage holiday. Choose between a gîte in the bosky countryside of Normandy, or perhaps an old bastide among the wild herbs of the maquis.
