France

It is not by chance that France attracts more tourists in a given year than any other country in the world. Paris alone encompasses a staggering number of world-famous monuments, museums, palaces, theaters, libraries, modern architectural wonders and other important historical landmarks. Having served as the cultural center for all of Europe throughout several periods in history, it has seen the birth of countless movements in politics, philosophy and the arts. But beyond Paris, France has countless charming regions; each with their own unique character, food, and local traditions. From the soaring Alps near Chamonix, to the small villages nestled among hilly vineyards in Maconnais, to the stunningly beautiful monastery of Mont Saint-Michel on the northern coast, to the tallest bridge in the world just outside of Millau, France truly is a marvel to visit.

1. Gina's Tip on Reims

Reims, Champagne-Ardenne, France

The main attraction in Reims is the beautiful flamboyant Gothic cathedral, where numerous French kings were crowned. The cathedral also features stained glass windows by Marc Chagall. But it's also a wonderful little town for wandering in, and the extra bonus is that you are in Champagne. You can get a taste of the very finest Champagnes, either in a glass, or worked into all manner of dishes, like a Champagne-vinaigrette-dressed salad, or chicken braised in Champagne.

2. Nicola's Tip on Strasbourg

Strasbourg, Alsace, France

if you want to eat something very good, go to LITTLE FRANCE area!

3. Jacob's Tip on Bordeaux

Bordeaux, Aquitaine, France

Bordeaux is a very nice town, I lived there for six months.
If you like to go out and like latin music, check out the Calle Ocho in the Rue du Loup. It's quite small and hot, but the atmosphere is amazing! For just grabbing a pint, I really enjoyed the Houses of Parliament, an English pub in the rue du parlement.
The rue Ste-Catherine is Bordeaux' shopping street and is the longest pedestrian shopping street in Europe. If you don't find what you're looking for there, you won't find it anywhere.
A very nice calm place to sit and enjoy the surroundings is at the hôtel de ville, and also the place Gambetta.
The city has a lot of public transport (trams busses), but most things are within walking range.

4. Christoph's Tip on Paris

Paris, Ile-de-France, France

There's a side-entrance to the Louvre Museum named Port de Lions. It's located between the Pont du Carrousel and the Pont Royal in the southwing of the museum. If you don't want to wait for hours in line at the pyrmid, this is the way to be in the Louvre in 2 minutes.

5. Hanna's Tip on Les Baux-de-Provence

Les Baux-de-Provence, Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, France

There is beautiful views from the fortress

6. Patrick's Tip on Avignon

Avignon, Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, France

Avignon, city of the Popes, is also famous for its bridge. Thus, you need to visit the bridge, the Popes Palace and the walls. If you can, try to make it during the Theatre festival, when the city is alive with activity!

7. Joris's Tip on Boulogne-sur-Mer

Boulogne-sur-Mer, Nord-Pas-de-Calais, France

Boulogne-sur-Mer has a very nice youth hostel. The bars aren't that good, but with some booze, you can have a lot of fun at the beach at night.

8. Zafeiropoulos's Tip on Strasbourg

Strasbourg, Alsace, France

The street trams are really silent. Always watch out, or you'll get run over!!!!

9. Rebecca's Tip on Paris

Paris, Ile-de-France, France

oh Paris so many things to see and do here the best I can reccommend is at least stay here for 4 nights minimum to really get a feel of the city and to experience the wonder of Paris....dont just pass though on a day trip!

10. Eric's Tip on Uzes

Uzes, Languedoc-Roussillon, France

Go walking in and around Uzes - there are some really nice small backroads connecting farms surrounding the town with lots of willows and cyprus trees offering pleasant shade. If you go in August you might pass some fig trees that can be picked for their delicious fruit.
