Reasons To Travel To France
France receives 82 million foreign tourists annually, making it the world’s top destination. Just the Eiffel Tower attracts over 6 million people a year. But apart from the culture and history of Paris, the country also offers beaches, fabulous countryside and skiing.
France is world famous for it cuisine, so it’s no problem to find someplace to eat, no matter if you want Michelin starred restaurants, small bistros with good food at reasonable prices, or larger brasseries. When you get your restaurant bill, the service charges and taxes are incorporated into the total.
France is heaven if you love wine, because many good wines are made there. The variety and quality you can find will take your breath away, but don’t drink before driving because French police are harsh on drunk drivers. Beer is also a popular drink, especially to the north.
French hotels are categorized between 1 and 4 stars, as the Ministry of Tourism designates. This rating is exhibited on a blue shield by the entrance to all hotels. By decree, any and all hotels are required to show or make visible their prices outside of the building, but don’t hesitate to go in and ask about the best price.
Hotels in the city center tend to be rather small and so it is usually best to book a room in advance. Also be sure you’re aware of the parking arrangements for the hotel, especially in larger cities.
Many rural areas in France offer Bed and Breakfast, or Chambres d’htes, establishments. These establishments work on a nightly basis similar to the many motel-style hotels along the roadsides
If you travel to France for a longer stay, you may also rent a house, apartment or villa from a reputable website. If a few of you are traveling together, this may be a good option.
