As we all know that the france Tourism is Just Booming around the world. So now we will tell you something about Tourism In france.Where do you think of when asked to name the most famous sights in France? Here we have prepared a list (in no particular order) of what we believe are the most famous places, that any visit to the country should include if possible. We have allowed just 10 places to start with. Your own list will be different, I'm sure, and there are many top places in France that are contenders for the list...
Famous places in Paris
The Eiffel Tower, the Champs-Elysées, Notre-Dame cathedral, the Moulin-Rouge and many more instantly recognisable sites. We could have filled the whole list with the famous places in Paris and perhaps we should have done, since they get so many visitors...but for the sake of completeness it seemed best to wander outside Paris a little and include places all across France...see Paris Guide for more suggestions of places to visit in Paris
The Normandy landing beaches
The beaches where the D-Day landings took place, on the northern coast of Normandy, are a very popular pilgrimage spot, both for the beaches themselves and for the nearby war memorials and cemeteries...see Normandy landing beaches
Versailles Palace
Versailles is a famous chateau that was home to the French monarchy during the 100 years before the French revolution. 'Grand and impressive' doesn't even begin to describe the size and luxury of this palace...see Versailles Palace
Carcassonne.
Famous medieval walled city in the Languedoc-Roussillon region of southern France...see Carcassonne
Lourdes
This pilgrimage destination in the pyrénées attracts many, many thousands of pilgrims each year, for the healing powers attributed to the cave where local girl Bernadette spoke to the virgin Mary in 1858. Alone on this list, the fame of Lourdes does not indicate that you should visit - simply that it is famous!...see Lourdes
Pont du Gard
This roman aquaduct in Languedoc-Roussillon is an architectural masterpiece and one of the most impressive roman constructions still standing in France...see Pont du Gard
Lascaux caves
Discovered in the middle of the 20th century, these caves contain extraordinary fine examples of prehistoric cave painting. The caves being closed to the public need not deter you - there is a very high quality copy at Lascaux caves II next door...see Lascaux caves
Mont-Saint-Michel
Three million visitors a year can't be wrong - this is the most visited site in France outside Paris. The abbey on an island is an instantly recognisable landmark in Normandy on the northern coast of France...see Mont St Michel
Disneyland Paris and Parc Asterix
These two theme parks are the most popular to be found in France.
Monet's garden at Giverny
At the end of the 19th century the world of art was changing forever, as the French impressionists explored new ways of painting and representing landscapes and scenery. Among these was Monet, and many of his most famous paintings are clearly recognisable scenes from the gardens at Giverny.
