France Vacation Travel Guide
For most people, the country of France—with its extensive art galleries, quaint sidewalk cafés, and rich literary and artistic history—is synonymous with the city of Paris. But France offers many other exciting vacation destinations. Looking to expand the horizons of your next France vacation? Then why not visit one of these historic cities.
Bordeaux
The city of Bordeaux, which lies on the Garonne River in southwest France, is known for its lush vineyards and top-rated wineries, where some of the most expensive wines in the world are produced. The city is also home to the Grand Théâtre, one of the oldest wood-frame opera houses in Europe. In general, hotels in Bordeaux are much more affordable than those in Paris, with rates starting at around $70 per night.
Lyon
Located in east-central France in the region of Rhône-Alpes, Lyon is regarded by many as the culinary capital of France. Many of France’s most renowned chefs reside in Lyon, and the city boasts nearly 800 restaurants, with menus ranging from traditional French cuisine to sushi and world cuisine. Residents of Lyon often enjoy a morning mâchon, a breakfast snack consisting of charcuterie (bacon, ham, sausage, and/or terrines), which is usually accompanied by a glass of wine.
Marseille
The second most populous—and the oldest—city in France, Marseille lies on the southwest coast of France on the Mediterranean sea. The Vieux Port (Old Port), the city’s main harbor, attracts many visitors each day with its exquisite view of the sea as well as dozens of restaurants that line the waterfront. In addition, Marseille is a major center of French art, architecture, and history, and its museums display many of the finest collections in Europe.
While exploring options for your next France Vacation, remember to look beyond just Paris. While Paris maybe be for lovers, Bordeaux, Lyon, and Marseilles are for people who love France.
