MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACE IN FRANCE

Hi and Assalamualaikum...
Seriously I really want to go France...because of the beauty and many interesting place that i want to
go when i'm in France...after you reading this article i'm sure that u want to go France to..

This is 5 of the most beautiful place in France...

1. Loire Valley
An area of outstanding natural beauty, the Loire Valley is also affectionately known as the garden of France. The valley spans over 280 km and is located in the beautiful middle stretch of the Loire River in central France. It’s filled with culturally and historically important architecture which has earned it a world heritage site status- so it’s not surprising it’s one of the most visited places in the country. Known for its large collection of fairytale-esque chateaux and mansions, exceptionally beautiful landscapes and one of the most striking rivers in Europe the Loire Valley is a gentle but most definitely bourgeois paradise.



2. Mont Saint-Michel
     
Second only to the Eiffel Tower as France’s best-loved landmark, Mont St-Michel is rocky, peaked island connected by a causeway to northwest France. It’s an imposing sight sitting amid sandbanks and powerful tides, the heritage site is most celebrated for its Gothic-style Benedictine abbey. Directly below the grand monastery is a medieval village complete with winding streets, small houses and souvenir shops. The island is accessible at all times except when the tide is very high.
If you’re visiting here you should also spend a few days exploring the rest of the Normandy region. Filled with history and lush green landscapes expect to see dry-stone farmhouses, chalk-white cliffs, half-timbered buildings and many other fine examples of picturesque architecture. The historically important site of the Normandy Landing beaches and the famous Bayeux tapestry is also located here.



3.  Côte d’Azur
 The Mediterranean coastline of southeast France is otherwise known as the French Riviera. Although expensive and over-developed to some, with its miles of gorgeous coastline and azure waters it’s still one of the most beautiful places to visit in France. The sun-drenched area has attracted and transfixed many visitors over the years including royalty, celebrities, writers and artists such as Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse. The Côte d’Azur is also famed for its stylish coastal cities such as Nice, Cannes and St-Tropez, which still remain exclusive holiday resorts even today.


4.  Giverny
 Giverny is a riverside rural idyll located on the borders of Normandy which is most famous for being the birthplace of impressionism. The small village was once Claude Monet’s cherished country retreat and now both his pink shutter-board house and photogenic country gardens are open to the public. Planted by Monet himself, the walled water garden (which inspired so many of his famous paintings) features white and purple wisterias, water lilies, weeping willows, bamboo and the iconic green Japanese bridge.


5. Provence

The Provence countryside definitely deserves a mention of its own. If you head for the Luberon area, located at the heart of the region, you’ll find the most archetypal scenery of rural Provence – beautiful landscapes filled with endless lavender fields, lush olive groves, undulating vineyards and pretty ancient hilltop villages filled with shutter-board houses. Make sure you also include trips to the picturesque villages of Baux-de-Provence and St. Rémy and the dazzling walled city of Avignon. Long lazy days and alfresco lunches await you in this rural chic paradise.



 Of course it’s impossible to mention all the beautiful places in France in a Top 5 list. Still want more? Then also pay a visit to the tranquil and unspoiled countryside of the wine region Burgundy the chic coastal cities and sun-soaked shores of Corsica the world heritage cities of Lyon and Bordeaux, the picturesque villages and high mountains of the Mid Pyrenees, the low-key traditional wine region of Languedoc and the Gorge du Verdon, France’s answer to the Grand Canyon. Enjoy your stay in this beautiful country!
