France

Art, cheese, and revolutions!

France is located in Western Europe. It borders Belgium and Luxembourg to the northeast, Germany and Switzerland to the east, Italy to the southeast, and Andorra and Spain to the southwest.

The main reasons to visit France are to see iconic landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre, to enjoy the picturesque scenery of the French countryside, to relax on the beaches of the French riviera, and to taste the delicious food and wine for which the country is famous. France is also home to a number of world-renowned fashion designers and luxury brands.

French cuisine is characterized by its use of fresh, local ingredients and its focus on flavor. Some of the most popular French dishes include ratatouille, coq au vin, and crème brûlée.
