Our best tips for planning your trip 🗺️
- Transportation The country boasts a well-developed public transportation system, especially in major cities. To explore the countryside, renting a car is ideal, although fuel is pricey and some highways are tolled.
- Language French is the official language. While English is commonly spoken in tourist areas, it's always appreciated to learn a few basic French phrases.
- Culture and Etiquette Greetings typically include a handshake or a kiss on the cheek. Meal times are a serious matter; lunch is usually served between 12 PM and 2 PM, with dinner after 7 PM.
- Gastronomy The cuisine is renowned worldwide. Try freshly baked baguettes, croissants, regional cheeses, and classic dishes like coq au vin and ratatouille.
- Safety Generally safe, but like anywhere, keep an eye on your personal belongings, especially in larger cities and tourist spots.
- Cultural exploration: Consider visiting iconic museums like the Louvre or Musée d'Orsay.
- Culinary experience: Try regional specialties like foie gras, coq au vin, or the famous Breton crêpes.
- Romantic getaway: A bateau-mouche cruise on the Seine might be the unforgettable moment of your trip.
- Outdoor adventure: Explore the Alps mountains or the beaches of the French Riviera for an active yet relaxing stay.
- Shopping and souvenirs: Local markets are full of unique artisanal products and delicacies to bring home.
The best time to visit France depends on the regions and activities you are interested in. Spring (April to June) and autumn (September to November) usually offer pleasant weather with fewer tourists.
Dive into history by visiting the majestic castles of the Loire. For a moment of pure romance, stroll along the Seine in Paris, where every bridge tells a story. Explore the vineyards of Bordeaux for an unforgettable tasting tour. Be amazed by the splendor of Mont-Saint-Michel, a timeless experience. Looking for adventure? The Alps offer breathtaking ski slopes in winter and hiking trails in summer. And don’t forget to enjoy a crispy baguette in a quintessential French café.
