France Trips - Tourist Information Hotels and Holiday Reservations

An ancient country, famous with its exceptionally rich cultural heritage and spectacular historic landmarks, France is populated by energetic people of tradition, art, progress and innovation at the same time, known for their warm hospitality. France (largest country in Europe) is situated on a land of mystic prehistoric caves, majestic Roman ruins and Celtic monoliths, countless medieval fortresses and great castles from the Renaissance. The country offers an impressive diversity of scenery, from the beautiful landscapes of the mountain ranges of the Pyrenees and French Alps to the magnificent river valleys of the Rhône, Dordogne and Loire, as well as the spectacular countryside in Normandy. Overall, France has 2 900 kilometers of coastline, dotted with cosy beaches. Of course we cannot miss to mention maybe the most popular symbol and one of the most famous attractions of France - the Eiffel tower. France also has the largest network of high-speed railways and is very well served by air from a number of major cities in Europe and United States.
