Introducing France
France is a landscape of wonder: stroll Paris’s grand boulevards, explore Loire Valley’s châteaux set in lush greenery, and surrender to their timeless charm. Savor alpine cheeses in Savoie and raise a glass of Champagne amid Marne’s rolling hills. From the deep blue Côte d’Azur to Provence’s lavender fields, each region tells its own tale.

Currency
France uses the Euro (€). Credit and debit cards are widely accepted, but it’s useful to carry some cash—especially in rural areas or small shops and markets.
Cuisine
French cuisine is all about technique and terroir. Think buttery croissants, seasonal cheeses, fresh seafood, and dishes like duck confit or bouillabaisse. Each region has its own specialties, and long lunches are a cherished tradition.
Transport
France has an excellent rail network connecting major cities. For exploring the countryside, wine regions or the Riviera, a car gives you more freedom and flexibility.
Tipping etiquette
Service is usually included in restaurant bills, but leaving a small tip (5–10%) is appreciated for good service. In cafés or taxis, rounding up is perfectly acceptable.
When to go
France dazzles in the summer, when the Riviera sparkles and café culture takes over the streets. Yet it’s the seasons in between that reveal its quiet beauty—autumn vineyards, spring gardens, and the soft light on Parisian boulevards. The mountain villages turn magical in winter, perfect for skiing or fireside retreats. And whenever you visit, there’s always time for a flaky pastry, a good glass of wine, and that unmistakable feeling of joie de vivre.
