The most visited city in France is the capital, Paris, located in the region known as Île-de-France. Paris is the site of world-famous museums and monuments such as the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower, but tourists booked into France holiday rentals in other regions will find that the other parts of the nation also have much to offer visitors.
Northeastern France borders Germany and features cities such as Alsace and Lorraine, which spent decades actually being considered a part of Germany itself. Because of this mixed history, this region offers tourists a chance to try out a cuisine that is a blend of the best of national French and German dishes.
Visitors interested in wine should head to central France to visit the areas surrounding cities such as Burgundy, Auvergne, and Poitou-Charentes. Although vineyards and wine-tastings are a key part of the tourist experience in this region, other attractions include scenic rivers winding around the valleys and a variety of chateaux, some of which are open to visitors.
Southeastern France is the most visited area of the country apart from Paris. Featuring a warm climate and easy access to beaches along the Mediterranean, this region includes the city of Provence and the island of Corsica, where tourists can visit the town where Napoleon Bonaparte was born in the 1700s.
Traveling to the Southwest allows tourists to visit beaches on the Atlantic Ocean and also provides access to Spain, a fellow member of the EU.
