Why has France been the world’s number one tourist destination for so long?

Unique natural environment

France is one of the European countries with the most complex and varied terrain. It has vast grasslands, majestic mountains and stretches of Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts. She is surrounded by four seas (the North Sea and the Manche Strait to the north, the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and the Mediterranean Sea to the south), and its coastline is 5,500 kilometers long. All kinds of wonderful scenery allow you to have different entertainment activities in different seasons.

Located in the heart of Europe, France borders nine countries - Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, Monaco and the Principality of Andorra. Traveling abroad is simple and easy, making your leisure life rich and colorful.

Daily life

4,600 cinemas, more than 50,000 theater performances every year, and 7,000 museums enrich the daily life of French people, whether in Paris or in the provinces. All venues provide discounts and various preferential packages (annual passes, quarterly passes, monthly passes, etc.) to college students.

Seven national newspapers and more than 160 regional newspapers are indispensable for spending time in cafés - an important place in French social life. As for traditional French literature books, they can be found in large specialty stores and small bookstores in the neighborhood.

Throughout the year, especially in the summer, a large number of cultural performances and programs create a strong international cultural atmosphere:

Angoulême Animation Festival (January), Internet Festival (March), Museum Festival (April), Bourges Festival (April), Music Festival (June 2l), Film Festival (June), Nimes Festival (June), Avignon Festival (July) March), Marciac’s Jazz Festival (July), Belfort’s European Rock Festival (July), Summer Paris Quarter Festival (July to August), Lorient’s Celtic Festival (August), Heritage Days (September), Lille’s Auction Festival (September), Rennes’ Les Bleus Festival (December), etc.
