France; a country that just screams sophistication and decadence, from its chic capital city of Paris to the glamorous beach resorts of the French Riviera.

Flocked to by people from all across the world, Paris is one of the most romantic and elegant cities on the planet. With iconic landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower and Gothic Notre-Dame cathedral, the must-visit Louvre museum, long streets lined with designer shops and quaint little cafes filled with trendy locals, Paris is always a good idea – as the famous saying goes.

But if you can drag yourself away from the grandeur and twinkling lights of Paris for a while, there are plenty of other fantastic things to do in France too.

Visit the luxury beach resorts of the French Riviera which have become renowned as the playground for Europe’s rich and famous (try Sainte Maxime as an affordable alternative to St Tropez), explore the many fairytale castles of Normandy and the Loire Valley, or go wine tasting in the vineyards of Provence, Bordeaux or Champagne which produce some of the world’s finest wines.

Plus don’t miss the opportunity to taste France’s world-famous cuisine.

Start your days with a freshly baked pastry, sample as many varieties of cheese as possible – it’s estimated that there are between 1,000-1,500 distinct types of French cheese – then finally treat yourself to dinner at an elegant Michelin-starred restaurant – did you know that France has the most Michelin stars out of any country in the world?

From the sandy beach of the Cote d’Argent to the historic pink city of Toulouse, here’s some France travel inspiration from my travels to help you start planning your next trip.
