France is the largest country of Western Europe with a total land area of 545,630 sq km and a population of about 60 million. More than 3,400 km of the French coastline has access to the Atlantic and Mediterranean and the highest point in France is the Mont Blanc at 4807 metres above the sea-level.

Regarded as a beautiful country, France is a country with extreme differences ... from the grassy hills of the north and the rugged coastline of Brittany to the sundrenched picturesque beaches in the south and the icy mountain area of the Alps. Popular reasons to visit France on holiday are not only the many beaches, but also the historical chateaus, cathedrals and museums. France also boasts quality restaurants and probably the world's finest wines and champagnes.

No surprise that the most popular destination in France is Paris, the French capital, which is home of the Eiffel Tower and is crossed by the Seine. Many of France's most famous museums are found in Paris, including the Louvre, the Poimpidou Centre and the the Musee Rodin.

However, don't limit your travel to the just Paris, as the rest of this country boast many great summer holiday spots (e.g. Cote D'Azur) and winter breaks (e.g. skiing in the Alps). What's great is that all destinations in France are accessible by car, so, ... you can discover the whole country yourself in a week with a rental car booked from any of the hire companies on this page.
