The Do's and Don'ts of Visiting France, so you know how to get the most out of your French vacation. It doesn't matter if you are visiting Paris, Avignon, the French Riviera, the Normandy Beaches, or trying the food in Strasbourg or Bordeaux, there are a lot of things travelers and tourists to France should know before they go. These are some of our definite no - no's when it comes to visiting France.
Driving in France is a great way to see the country. While many places can be easily explored by trains or flights, and it can be cheaper due to high gas prices in Europe, having a rental car in France is a must in some regions.
I’ve driven all over France (including even Paris) many times, solo and with the kids as I used to live in France on two occasions.
Here are some basic things to know about driving in France that will help make you feel more confident.
When it comes to tourism in France, Paris is at the top of many travelers’ bucket lists and for a good reason. The city is full of incredible history, architecture, art, charm, and distinct cuisine. Whether you have a day, a week, or a month to explore, Paris is a travel experience in its own.
Paris sure does dominate the headlines, but this doesn’t mean other French cities should be overlooked! Be sure to visit the French countryside, the region of Provence, Bordeaux, the island of Corsica, and the French Riviera—my favorite spot in France! The French Riviera (or Côte d’Azur) is the Mediterranean coast of southern France, and comprises the charming resort towns of Marseille, St. Tropez, Cannes, Nice, and the tiny nation of Monaco!
