![]() France Vacation PackagesCheck how France vacation packages combine all the joys that France has to offer..In France vacation packages will enable you to discover whatever it is that you want to discover about this most popular of tourist destinations. In other words, France has something to offer everyone. It hosts more tourists than any other country in the world, with an annual influx of about 80 million tourists. Whether you wish to relax and soak up the pleasures of cruising on a barge on one of the many waterways, or if you fancy a tour based around the undoubted gastronomic pleasures which France has to offer, or if you would like to base your package around France's culture and heritage, you will find something to delight you. France Vacation Packages: Culture France has long been known as being a country of sophistication, and Paris is the cultural hub of the nation. France is renowned for its architecture, art, cuisine and fashion. Food preparation in France is considered to be a form of art, but it wasn't really until after World War 1 that food preparation really began to be considered so seriously. Increasing affluence combined with a need to please an increasing number of international visitors led France on the road to being the culinary capital of the world. Paris is home to some of the very best museums in the world. The Centre Pompidou is home to a collection of contemporary art, and boasts five and a half million visitors a year, and of course there is The Louvre, which is home to the world's largest collection of art, and includes arguably the most famous painting of all time, The Mona Lisa, by Leonardo da Vinci. France Vacation Packages: Architecture Architecture is presented in many forms in France, including Baroque, Gothic, Art Nouveau, Beaux Arts and Art Deco. Many fine examples are to be seen of the various architectural styles. The Palace of Versailles is a famous example of the Baroque period, and the Chartres Cathedral dating from the 13th. century is one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture. The French Rennaissance produced the Louvre, which is constructed from cut stone, and which has been the inspiration for many buildings throughout Europe and the United States. Think of Paris, and you will probably think about the Eiffel Tower. This is a product of the Industrial Revolution and it was the tallest building in the world for 40 years. One of the biggest drawcards for tourists in France is the old castle city of Carcassonne, which is a Medieval fortress which overlooks the lower part of the city below. This attracts 3 million visitors a year, and you can wander around cobblestone streets as you ponder days gone by. France Vacation Packages: Outdoor Activities For those who enjoy the more energetic pursuits, France has much to offer, including hiking, biking, rock climbing, skiing, mountaineering, and water activities such as canoeing, rafting and kayaking. The Grand Randonnee is a network of pathways thousands of kilometres long, and is used as a walking track for those who wish to experience France at ground level. There are many ski resorts, mainly in the Alps and Pyrenees, where the family can enjoy great skiing and great food. France Vacation Packages: Cities The cities of France offer every delight that you can imagine. In Paris experience the cafe culture, or visit one of the countless museums, or maybe indulge yourself with a bit of shopping in this world-hub of shopping opportunities. Visit Nice, on the French Riviera, and relax by the water in the afternoon after a morning of shopping in the markets. Wander around the cafes and boutiques on the pedestrian walkways. Check out the historic attractions of Bordeaux, or the art, architecture and culture of Lille. Marseille is home to wonderful museums, art and hundreds of years of history. One could talk forever about the world's most popular tourist destination, but actions speak louder than words, and once you have been there, words will not be enough. Europe Vacation Deals include your France Vacation Packages.
