Visit the country’s cultural epicentre (Paris, of course!) a city filled with exhibitions, theatres, culinary delights, terrace bars and hidden courtyards that keep travellers returning. Further afield, the Côte d’Azur promises slow seaside summers, Alsace reveals its Germanic heritage through distinctive architecture and Corsica offers granite peaks, turquoise coves and mountain air.
