Having decided to spend a vacation outside their country, travelers ask themselves the question: which state should be worthy of their attention? Someone will choose the exoticism of the Pacific Islands, the African savannahs, the jungles of India, someone likes the resorts of the Mediterranean. And the romantic nature will be attracted by France.
First of all, guests of the country visit the capital of the state. Here you can walk around the Champs Elysees to your heart's content - this is the main street in Paris with many chic restaurants, expensive boutiques and cinemas. The French themselves call it nothing less than "the center of glamor." Almost all parades and city holidays are held here. The street ends at the Arc de Triomphe, erected by order of Napoleon at the beginning of the 19th century.
It is considered a crime to come to Paris and not visit the world's most famous museum. We are talking about the Louvre, which is almost impossible to bypass in one day, because the collection gathered under its arches is simply enormous. The Louvre exhibits such masterpieces as the mysterious Mona Lisa, the beautiful Venus de Milo and many other exhibits, the total number of which is in the thousands.
The majestic Notre Dame de Paris rises in the center of Paris. The construction of the cathedral stretched over 2 centuries, so two architectural styles intertwined in it - Gothic and Romanesque. The appearance of this building evokes a dual sense of awe and admiration. Notre Dame Cathedral owes its glory to Victor Hugo, who wrote the novel of the same name.
One can talk endlessly about the sights of Paris. But not to mention the main symbol of the French capital would be extremely disrespectful. The Eiffel Tower was originally built as a temporary structure and seemed to many French people to be absolute bad taste. However, the era of radio soon came, and the tower came in handy - it was used as an antenna. By the way, the developments used in its construction were useful to Eiffel to create the Statue of Liberty, donated to the Americans.
France is ready to show quite a lot of remarkable places outside of Paris.
A huge number of tourists annually visit the famous Palace of Versailles, striking in its luxury. It is located just 22 km from the capital and is one of the most famous residences of the French monarchs.
The Cathedral in Strasbourg is a huge sandstone structure. This perfect creation was built almost a thousand years ago, but its exterior is striking in its meticulousness and attention to every detail.
Ancient monasteries, temples, fortresses, palaces…. The Abbey of Saint-Victor and the Palace of Longchamp in Marseille, the Hotel Negresco in Nice. It seems that every corner of this amazing country preserves historical and cultural values.
