Food, s’il vous plait!

Gastronomy is a number one pastime of the French. Our France Travel blog has some top Paris eating tips for you! Go for the view alone at Le Train Bleu and try their lunch menu; have the best frogs legs you never knew you craved at Roger La Grenouille (“Roger the Frog”); Le Coup Chou and Terminus Nord also come highly recommended.

France is famous for it’s wine regions, which welcome visitors year round to sample the wine and learn about its best applications. Champagne, Bordeaux, Rhone and Chablis are some you might be familiar with.

Beyond Paris

Though most France travel articles focus on Paris, there is a whole country to explore! The South of France is known for its beaches and glamour. Overlooking the warm oceans, you’ll find quaint towns, sandy beaches and world class shopping. The rich and famous gather in Monaco, with nearby Cannes playing host to the annual Film Festival.

Explore the fairytale castle of Chateau du Haut-Koenigsbourg at Alsace. The Loire Valley wine region is also rich in medieval and classic renaissance châteaux. At the right time of year, enjoy winter sports on the French Alps.

France Travel Blog Tips and Hints:

  • Make an effort to learn some French phrases; French was once considered the language of culture and politics in Europe and the locals don’t like to speak English!
  • Watch out for pickpockets at attractions, particularly of items left in your car. Carry valuables with you.
  • Sweets for breakfast are quite normal, so tuck into that chocolate croissant with glee!
