Learn Why France is the World's Leading Tourism Destination

As reported by the World Travel and Tourism Council and CIA World Factbook, France is the most visited country in the world. It also enjoys the third-largest tourism income in the world. But what is it about this country that makes us all come back for more and attracts new visitors every year? Among the most beautiful, historic, culturally rich, and simply fun towns and cities in Europe are Paris, Lyon, Strasbourg, Revel, Dijon, Perpignan, Albi, and Reims. In addition, you can enjoy every outdoor pursuit in France, from skiing in the Alps to sailing on the Mediterranean.

Aside from its great wines and champagne, France is known for its fantastic cuisine, its art galleries, museums, theatres, and architecture, as well as its excellent climate and a variety of geographically diverse regions, which means it has something to suit everyone’s taste.

If you’re a lone traveler, then Paris might be the best place to start a vacation in France; you can walk along the Seine, see the Louvre or Notre Dame, explore the Latin Quarter, take a tour of the Sorbonne and climb the Eiffel Tower before exploring Sacre Coeur and Montmartre.

If you’re a couple looking for a relaxing summer holiday then why not rent a villa with a pool near the Mediterranean or if you’d prefer an action-packed winter holiday then head to Chamonix and ski or snowboard and have some fun! On the other hand, if you are a family looking for some fun on your French school holidays, the nation has many self-catering holiday parks perfect for all ages.

As you can see, France is a country for everyone. It offers so much and is a large country, so exploring it all can take a long time. Due to this, France is a very popular destination, especially with young travelers seeking working holidays and to fund extended vacations. Those who speak a bit of French can easily find a job in a bar or restaurant, or if they want to work in a tourism resort, they don’t even have to have very high levels of French if they will be dealing with British or American tourists, for example. You can see more of France on a working vacation, expand your cultural horizons, meet new people, and even learn a new language.
