France is a fascinating country in Europe with a rich history and a unique culture. It’s one of the most popular countries for vacation and travel worldwide, with an exciting range of cities and landscapes to explore. The furthest northeasterly region is Hauts-de-France which borders Belgium to the east. This region’s capital is Lille which has been a significant city for the Flanders area and remains a wonderful place to visit today. There are plenty of exciting activities to try there, so here are just a few to add to your itinerary when visiting Lille.

Wander Through Vieux-Lille

This exciting old area of the city is ideal to wander through and soak in the scenery and ambiance. Stunning old buildings showcase some impressive architecture, and the cobbled streets will transform you back in time.

This is a city of culture, and this can be seen in the awe-inspiring range of museums and galleries. The Palais des Beaux-Arts displays an incredible range of fine art, or if you’re more into science then the Musee d’Histoire Naturelle de Lille lets you explore some wonderful artifacts.

Sample Some Delicious Cuisine

Like much of France, Lille and the surrounding area offers some incredible options for food and drink. While you can find many popular, traditional French dishes here, the truly exciting culinary experience can be found in the more local dishes.

Plage de Wissant, Hauts de France

Omaha Beach, Normandy

A beach with a huge amount of history due to its significance during D-day, you can still spot many reminders of these important events today. An impressive site to see is the heartfelt ‘Les Braves’ sculpture, erected in memory of those who fought. The beach itself is a gorgeous place to spend time, with huge expanses of white sand, lovely blue water, and rolling dunes.

Marseilles is a fabulously lively, bustling city on the southern coast of France. While some may say it lacks the glamor of Nice and Cannes, admirers of Marseilles would point out it more than makes up for this in terms of its exciting night life, vibrant food scene and rich cultural heritage. If you’re visiting the French city, you must visit at least one of these fantastic cafes, each of which serves up a slice of Marseille’s food culture in its own unique way.

Cafe Simon

Although it calls itself a cafe, this establishment is more like a relaxed restaurant. As well as coffees, cakes and pastries, you will find plenty of traditional dishes on offer (such as the delicious fish stew Bouillabaisse, and plenty of incredible salads). Despite the slightly imposing decor, staff at Cafe Simon are happy to let you sit and relax long after you’ve finished your meal or coffee, so it’s a great option to choose if you fancy a bit of people watching.

Flashback Cafe

This cool cafe celebrates all things from the nineties, so if you’re after a bit of nostalgia (or an insight into French nineties culture) then visit this centrally located cafe. The food is great, the drinks menu is wide-ranging and extensive, and in the evenings the cafe transforms into a karaoke bar for some fabulous fun and hilarity.

Zephyr Cafe

If you want to eat beautiful food in a beautiful setting, Zephyr Cafe is for you. All of the interior decor has been meticulously planned, to create a light and airy space with plenty of stunning highlights. Even the pastel crockery on which your freshly made pastry is served is super pretty. Sit here and relax with a book, update your Instagram with some great snaps, or simply take in the lovely space around you.

France is a super popular travel destination. It’s a big country with a huge variety between the different areas in terms of history, culture, and scenery. Brittany is a region in the northwest of the country with a distinct identity and atmosphere. There’s plenty of beautiful coastline, as well as the most picturesque towns you can imagine. Here are just three that would make ideal vacation destinations.

Perros-Guirec

This charming seaside town is located along the Pink Granite Coast which is a stunning area, with brilliantly blue water which surrounds the pale pink granite boulders and islands which are covered in luscious greenery. Perros-Guirec is the perfect place to access coastal walks or simply sit on the beach and enjoy the views, and the sweet town center is ideal for wandering around and soaking in the ambiance. 

Fougères

The new town area of Fougères is nice to walk through and has plenty of shops and restaurants. However, if you head up the hill to the old town then you’ll be transported back in time. The winding medieval streets with cobbled stones gradually lead to the old church and then to the huge old castle with its walls and ramparts to wander through. There are lovely parks in which you can rest and take in the lovely views. 

Pont-Scorff

Built along the river Scorff this sweet old town is the perfect balance of pretty buildings and streets with the beautiful nature and greenery around it. You can learn about the interesting history of the town and the area while wandering through, and there’s also an exciting art scene to discover.

As a country, France has more than its fair share of stunning landscapes, exciting trails, and natural wonders. From the snow-capped Alps to the golden sands of the Riviera coast, locals and visitors alike can appreciate the natural beauty and splendor of France. If you’re visiting the country this spring or summer, head to one of these fabulous national parks, each of which offers a unique insight into the animals, plant life, and beauty of France.

Camargue Regional National Park

This wetland wonderland is situated on the south coast, near the city of Marseilles. It is famed for its native flocks of flamingoes, but there are plenty of other wetlands and wading birds to see. Although this area of France is incredibly popular, the Camargue maintains a sense of peace and tranquillity, so it’s a must-visit if you’re seeking some relaxing time in nature.

Morvan National Regional Park

Situated in the province of Burgundy, this gorgeous national park offers plenty of idyllic woodland walks, traditional farmsteads, and bucolic fields. This landscape is best visited in high spring or early summer, but the trees will also look stunning in the fall. There are many well-marked trails through the national park, so you can enjoy a relaxing ramble or a more strenuous climb, depending on what you’re looking for.

The Ardeche Mountains National Regional Park

These mountains are located in the southeast of the country. While they may not be quite as big or as bold as the famous Alps, there are plenty of reasons to visit this range. The hiking and climbing trails here are generally much more accessible for beginners than those found in the Alps, and there are plenty of stunning views from the mountains, stretching out across the Massif Centrale.

France is a popular destination for tourists, for good reason—this European country has a bit of everything, from Alpine slopes in the east to sandy, sunlit coasts in the south. Many people have cities such as Paris and Nice on their ‘must-visit’ list, but it’s definitely worth considering smaller cities, too. Montpelier in the south of France has a wealth of things to see and do and is a bit quieter than other destinations like Cannes or Marseilles. Check out the top three things to do in this city, and try and resist booking the next flight there!

Carefree Coastline 

Just ten miles from the city stretches the Mediterranean coast, with all its sun, sea, and sand. There are plenty of public transport options to take you to the beach, so you won’t need to worry about hiring transport.

Foodie Destination

France is well known for its food and Montpelier is especially famed for its fine wines, delicious fresh produce including fruits and cheeses, and crusty baguettes. Check out the local cafes where you can eat well and relatively cheaply, or splash out on a three-course meal in one of the city’s charming restaurants.

Culture Capital

Although Montpelier is smaller than other French cities, it still boasts a wealth of amazing museums and art galleries. Check out Galerie de l’Ancien Courrier, which hosts artworks by painters celebrating the famous southern light that is found all around the Occitanie area. This is a fabulous way to while away an afternoon in this relaxed city.

France is a country steeped in history and culture, that offers a lot to anyone who is interested in history. It also boasts an abundance of historic sites that have shaped the course of European civilization. From ancient Roman ruins to medieval castles and iconic landmarks, here are some of the most significant historic sites to explore in France.

Mont-Saint-Michel

Perched on a rocky island off the coast of Normandy, Mont-Saint-Michel is a breathtaking medieval abbey that has captivated visitors for centuries. Built between the 11th and 16th centuries, the abbey is a masterpiece of Gothic architecture, with its towering spires, fortified walls, and labyrinthine streets. Visitors can climb to the top of the abbey for panoramic views of the surrounding bay, explore the charming village below, and learn about the abbey’s rich history and religious significance.

The Roman Theater Of Orange

Situated in the picturesque town of Orange in Provence, the Roman Theater is one of the best-preserved Roman theaters in the world. Built in the 1st century AD, the theater could accommodate up to 9,000 spectators and was used for theatrical performances, gladiator contests, and other public events. Today, visitors can marvel at the theater’s imposing façade, explore its well-preserved stage and seating areas, and attend summer concerts and performances held within its ancient walls.

Carcassonne

Perched atop a hilltop in the Languedoc region of southern France, Carcassonne is a stunning medieval fortress that has been remarkably well-preserved over the centuries. Encircled by double walls and 52 towers, the fortress is a labyrinth of narrow streets, picturesque courtyards, and historic buildings that transport visitors back in time to the Middle Ages. Visitors can stroll along the ramparts for panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, explore the castle’s inner courtyard, and learn about the fortress’s rich history through exhibits and guided tours.

Brittany is a beautiful and unique region of France on the northwest coast. If you’re planning a visit to this area, then you’re in for a treat as it’s a glorious part of the world. And like much of France, food is a huge part of the culture of the area. While on your vacation in Brittany, here are just a few of the local dishes that you have to try. 

Crepes

If you enjoy pancakes, then Brittany is the place for you. You will find little cafes and street stalls all around which will cook crepes for you on a large hot plate in a traditional way which is beautiful to watch and delicious to eat. You can choose from a range of toppings such as lemon and sugar, salted caramel, or fresh fruit.

Kouign Amann

This sweet pastry is quintessentially Breton. It’s rich and buttery and super decadent. It’s made up of dough swirled around into a spiral and drenched in butter and sugar. These indulgent treats are unique to the area and will complete your trip.

Galettes 

Made in a very similar way to crepes, but so different in the end result. Galettes are made with buckwheat flour which gives them a heavy, savory quality which makes them ideal for a tasty meal. Most of the venues offering crepes will also be making galettes, and if you’re after a savory dish then this is ideal. Classic toppings include cheese, ham, egg, and various vegetables.

As a country, France has more than its fair share of stunning landscapes, exciting trails, and natural wonders. From the snow-capped Alps to the golden sands of the Riviera coast, locals and visitors alike can appreciate the natural beauty and splendor of France. If you’re visiting the country this spring or summer, head to one of these fabulous national parks, each of which offers a unique insight into the animals, plant life, and beauty of France.

Camargue Regional National Park

This wetland wonderland is situated on the south coast, near the city of Marseilles. It is famed for its native flocks of flamingoes, but there are plenty of other wetlands and wading birds to see. Although this area of France is incredibly popular, the Camargue maintains a sense of peace and tranquillity, so it’s a must-visit if you’re seeking some relaxing time in nature.

Morvan National Regional Park

Situated in the province of Burgundy, this gorgeous national park offers plenty of idyllic woodland walks, traditional farmsteads, and bucolic fields. This landscape is best visited in high spring or early summer, but the trees will also look stunning in the fall. There are many well-marked trails through the national park, so you can enjoy a relaxing ramble or a more strenuous climb, depending on what you’re looking for.

The Ardeche Mountains National Regional Park

These mountains are located in the southeast of the country. While they may not be quite as big or as bold as the famous Alps, there are plenty of reasons to visit this range. The hiking and climbing trails here are generally much more accessible for beginners than those found in the Alps, and there are plenty of stunning views from the mountains, stretching out across the Massif Centrale.

France is a popular destination for tourists, for good reason—this European country has a bit of everything, from Alpine slopes in the east to sandy, sunlit coasts in the south. Many people have cities such as Paris and Nice on their ‘must-visit’ list, but it’s definitely worth considering smaller cities, too. Montpelier in the south of France has a wealth of things to see and do and is a bit quieter than other destinations like Cannes or Marseilles. Check out the top three things to do in this city, and try and resist booking the next flight there!

Carefree Coastline 

Just ten miles from the city stretches the Mediterranean coast, with all its sun, sea, and sand. There are plenty of public transport options to take you to the beach, so you won’t need to worry about hiring transport.

Foodie Destination

France is well known for its food and Montpelier is especially famed for its fine wines, delicious fresh produce including fruits and cheeses, and crusty baguettes. Check out the local cafes where you can eat well and relatively cheaply, or splash out on a three-course meal in one of the city’s charming restaurants.

Culture Capital

Although Montpelier is smaller than other French cities, it still boasts a wealth of amazing museums and art galleries. Check out Galerie de l’Ancien Courrier, which hosts artworks by painters celebrating the famous southern light that is found all around the Occitanie area. This is a fabulous way to while away an afternoon in this relaxed city.

France is a country steeped in history and culture, that offers a lot to anyone who is interested in history. It also boasts an abundance of historic sites that have shaped the course of European civilization. From ancient Roman ruins to medieval castles and iconic landmarks, here are some of the most significant historic sites to explore in France.

Mont-Saint-Michel

Perched on a rocky island off the coast of Normandy, Mont-Saint-Michel is a breathtaking medieval abbey that has captivated visitors for centuries. Built between the 11th and 16th centuries, the abbey is a masterpiece of Gothic architecture, with its towering spires, fortified walls, and labyrinthine streets. Visitors can climb to the top of the abbey for panoramic views of the surrounding bay, explore the charming village below, and learn about the abbey’s rich history and religious significance.

The Roman Theater Of Orange

Situated in the picturesque town of Orange in Provence, the Roman Theater is one of the best-preserved Roman theaters in the world. Built in the 1st century AD, the theater could accommodate up to 9,000 spectators and was used for theatrical performances, gladiator contests, and other public events. Today, visitors can marvel at the theater’s imposing façade, explore its well-preserved stage and seating areas, and attend summer concerts and performances held within its ancient walls.

Carcassonne

Perched atop a hilltop in the Languedoc region of southern France, Carcassonne is a stunning medieval fortress that has been remarkably well-preserved over the centuries. Encircled by double walls and 52 towers, the fortress is a labyrinth of narrow streets, picturesque courtyards, and historic buildings that transport visitors back in time to the Middle Ages. Visitors can stroll along the ramparts for panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, explore the castle’s inner courtyard, and learn about the fortress’s rich history through exhibits and guided tours.

Brittany is a beautiful and unique region of France on the northwest coast. If you’re planning a visit to this area, then you’re in for a treat as it’s a glorious part of the world. And like much of France, food is a huge part of the culture of the area. While on your vacation in Brittany, here are just a few of the local dishes that you have to try. 

Crepes

If you enjoy pancakes, then Brittany is the place for you. You will find little cafes and street stalls all around which will cook crepes for you on a large hot plate in a traditional way which is beautiful to watch and delicious to eat. You can choose from a range of toppings such as lemon and sugar, salted caramel, or fresh fruit.

Kouign Amann

This sweet pastry is quintessentially Breton. It’s rich and buttery and super decadent. It’s made up of dough swirled around into a spiral and drenched in butter and sugar. These indulgent treats are unique to the area and will complete your trip.

Galettes 

Made in a very similar way to crepes, but so different in the end result. Galettes are made with buckwheat flour which gives them a heavy, savory quality which makes them ideal for a tasty meal. Most of the venues offering crepes will also be making galettes, and if you’re after a savory dish then this is ideal. Classic toppings include cheese, ham, egg, and various vegetables.
