France welcomes 82 million tourists each year, which makes it the number one destination in the world. By itself, the Eiffel Tower brings in 6.2 million visitors per year. But besides the history and culture of Paris, you’ll also find fabulous countryside, skiing and beaches.

France is internationally renowned for its cuisine and finding somewhere to eat isn’t a problem, whether you’re looking for Michelin starred restaurants, brasseries or bistros, which offer decent food at realistic prices. When you receive your restaurant bill, taxes and service charges will be included.


France is the home of wine and really is heaven for wine lovers who travel to France. The quality of the various wines you can discover is astounding, but try not to indulge in too much wine as French authorities are fairly strict when it comes to drivers who are over the limit. Beer is also popular, especially in the north.

The Ministry of Tourism rates every French hotel into four categories from a 1 to 4 star rating. This rating is demonstrated upon all hotel entrances on a blue crest. All hotels are required by law to display their ratings outside, or ensure they’re visible from outside, but it’s also okay to go in and ask for the best price available.

A beneficial choice would be to book a city center hotel, as they are generally very small and quiet. Be sure to check the parking arrangements, in big cities especially.

The Chambres d’hotes, otherwise called Bed and Breakfasts, are common rural establishments which can be found in rural areas. These operate on a nightly basis, as do the motel style hotels that lie along the roadside.

If you go to France for an extended stay, you can also rent an apartment, villa or house from a good website. If several of you are traveling in a group, this would serve as a good choice.
