There are several climatic zones in France. In the western part of the country, the climate is oceanic: winters are frost-free, summers are cool, it rains all year, and sunny days are rare. In the center and in the east - continental: there is much less rain than on the coast, winter is colder and summer is hotter (+20 ... + 25 ° C). In the south of France and on the island of Corsica, it is Mediterranean: the summers are dry, long and hot (from May to October the temperature is +21 ... + 27 ° C), and the winters are rainy and warm.
In the Alps, snow lies from late November to mid-May, the temperature does not drop below -10 ° C, which attracts thousands of ski enthusiasts from different countries. There are especially a lot of vacationers at ski resorts from mid-February, when sunny weather sets in here.
In general, the temperate, mild climate of France makes it comfortable for tourism at any time of the year.
France is also attractive for its landscape diversity: there are mountains (Pyrenees, Alps, Jura), lowlands (North French lowland, Garonese lowland, Loire lowland, Rhone and Saone graben) and plateaus (Central French massif, Armorican massif).
Lavender fields in Provence, the picturesque Loire coast with many beautiful castles, the high Pyla dune in Arcachon (the highest in Europe), the romantic and extraordinary coast of Pink Granite and the fabulous Pampont Forest in Brittany - all this will forever remain in your memory.
Of course, many people come to France to get acquainted with the history and culture of this country, to see its main attractions.
Every year thousands of tourists come to Paris for their dream - to see the Eiffel Tower. Its height is 324 m. The tower was built according to the project of Gustave Eiffel as a temporary structure - the arch of the World Exhibition of 1889 (in honor of the centenary of the taking of the Bastille). The Eiffel Tower was supposed to be demolished 20 years after the exhibition, but the profits it brought did not allow it to be done. The Eiffel Tower began to be used for television and radio broadcasting, as well as for cellular communications.
Acquaintance with France cannot take place without visiting cathedrals. Among them are the main Gothic cathedral of France - Notre Dame Cathedral (Notre Dame de Paris), the Abbey of Saint Denis, where 25 French kings are buried, the Orthodox Cathedral of Alexander Nevsky, in which the Spanish artist Pablo Picasso and the Russian dancer Olga Khokhlova were married.
Arriving in France, you should definitely visit museums. In one of the most popular museums in the world - the Louvre - you will get acquainted with the masterpieces of art from different countries. At Versailles, enjoy the palace architecture of France. In Loriola, the Museum of Unusual Objects, you will see, for example, a mug with a mustache compartment, bed warmers and a music chair. In the Paris Museum of Magic, you will learn the history of magic from an old wizard, watch tricks and instantly become a magician yourself. In Yvelines, in the open-air museum "Petite France", you will see the whole country at once.
Arriving in France with children, give them a fairy tale - a visit to Disneyland Paris.
If you get tired of the hustle and bustle of France, crowded tourist places, relax in the Tuileries Park or in the Luxembourg Park, stroll along the quiet, cozy streets of Champagne, the picturesque gardens of Bordeaux.
An integral part of exploring France is its gourmet cuisine. Food for the French is pleasure, cult, art. You should definitely try vegetable salad, onion soup (even those who hate onions will like it), baguette and croissant, treat yourself to delicious frog legs, oysters, snails and goose liver pate. Of course, you cannot feel the taste of France without Burgundy wine, champagne and various cheeses (brie, livaro, cantal, camembert, etc.).
France welcomes tourists with different tastes, interests and income levels. If you want to get a feel for this country, take a trip there!

Catherine, good afternoon! Thank you, went great, the room was what I wanted (with a view of the park and a bathroom). I was very pleased. Thank you.
The only thing - besides me, the transfer met women who were brought to Karlovy Vary and I had to travel from Prague to Marianske Lazne for 3 hours instead of 2 hours. It was certainly not convenient, they brought me in by the evening. Of course, it would be more convenient to fly to Karlovy Vary.

Hello Ekaterina. Our trip was a success.
The hotel is good. Renovation, furniture, plumbing, bed linen - in excellent condition, no comments. Very clean and comfortable.
Breakfasts were the same every day, but with a good assortment - so you could diversify your menu simply by choosing different dishes.
There is a kettle, tea, coffee, sugar, cream in the room. We enjoyed it. Tea was added daily. Linen and towels were changed twice a week.
The hotel is located in a quiet area, there is no noisy crowd. There are several direct tram routes to the center (to the railway station, to shopping centers, and to the main attractions).
The ride is less than half an hour. 2 stops near the hotel: one right under the windows, the other a 5-minute walk.
Lyubov Leonidovna, Moscow
Catherine, hello! I apologize that I didn’t drop you a couple of lines earlier: I was raking my cases, taking apart my suitcase - or vice versa.

Special thanks and a deep bow to the host - "Armenia Travel". The drivers are beyond praise, the guide Lia Bakhshinyan is a real professional and a very sincere, sincere person. For a week of close communication, they became almost family.
