Visit France

Four Iconic Regions to Explore

Each destination captures a different side of the French way of life, offering a blend of history, culture, and natural beauty.

Paris: The Heart of the Nation

Start your journey in a city that manages to feel both legendary and lived-in. Spend your morning wandering the galleries of the Louvre or the Musée d’Orsay, then find a quiet spot in a Tuileries Garden chair to watch the city go by.

Whether you're exploring the boutique-lined streets of the Marais or the grand boulevards, the city’s energy is unmistakable.

Normandy: History and the Coast

Travel north to a region defined by its dramatic landscapes and historic weight. Explore Caen, the "City of a Hundred Spires," where William the Conqueror’s medieval castles stand alongside the poignant Mémorial de Caen museum.

From here, it is a short journey to the hallowed D-Day landing beaches or the ethereal Mont Saint-Michel. Between the half-timbered houses and the cliffs of Étretat, Normandy offers a grounded, atmospheric escape.

Tours: Gateway to the Loire Valley

Nestled between the Loire and Cher rivers, Tours is a vibrant university city with a medieval heart. Stroll through the timber-framed houses of Place Plumereau before heading out to the nearby "Garden of France."

Use the city as your base to explore the fairytale châteaux of Chenonceau and Villandry, or cycle along the riverbanks past local vineyards.

Bordeaux: The Gilded Southwest

Bordeaux is a city of 18th-century grandeur reinvented for the modern day. After strolling through the elegant Place de la Bourse, head into the nearby rolling hills of Saint-Émilion.

This is the world’s wine capital, where you can tour prestigious châteaux and enjoy the slower, sunnier pace of life in the southwest.
