Just a narrow channel of water separates France from the UK, but that 30KM of sea is enough to create a world of difference between the two countries. France is a place of startling breadth and diversity: From the capital Paris, where they practically invented sophistication, café culture, and the very idea of a cosmopolitan way of life; to beach resorts on the Mediterranean, where the long summers are relaxing and sun worshippers line the sand; the Vineyards and small villages of the centre, where traditional ways of life remain unchanged; The Alps in the South West of the France offer some of the best skiing in the world in winter, and the best mountain sports in summer.
France is a place where the population have a chance to live life as they prefer, and all the imports of British and American culture have done little to pollute the chic identity that the French have spent centuries perfecting.
There is a massive variety of different things to do and see in the many large cities of France, from the beautiful architecture and cultural highlights of the capital city Paris, to the many beautiful cathedrals in Nice, and Lyons. Throughout the year France offers a great deal to the traveller, from Skiing in the Alps during winter, to enjoying the summer climate across the south of the country along the Mediterranean Coast, and the thrills of the Disney resort near Paris. You can get great deals on flights to many French cities direct from the UK, and enjoy staying in superb hotels in the cities as base for exciting city breaks shopping and sightseeing.
