Popular places in France



Taste your way around Bordeaux, sampling fine French wines to accompany local dishes of entrecote bordelaise steak or purple Blayais asparagus. Wine is everywhere; from the swanky Triangle to the merchant Chartrons neighbourhood. Look out for bunches of grapes and happy Bacchus figures adorning 18th-century buildings.

Rennes

The July Festival des Tombeés de la Nuit transforms Breton capital Rennes with art, music and dance - just one of the payoffs of heavy investment in art and culture. Timber-framed houses still stand in the city centre, but the student population keeps the vibe youthful.

Strasbourg

Strasbourg ping-ponged between Germany and France for centuries. Today the capital of wine-growing Alsace is a loveable mix of Teutonic might and French joie de vivre. All canals and cobblestones, half-timbered houses and Gothic spires, this UNESCO World Heritage Site on the River Ill weaves fairy-tale charm with the European Parliament’s political clout.

Aix-En-Provence

Spring waters tumble from over 100 fountains dotted throughout the streets and squares of former Roman spa town Aix en Provence. Linger over coffee and local almond delicacy calisson in one of the bohemian-chic pavement cafés of this sophisticated French university city.

Angouleme

Stroll along the ramparts of French city Angoulême, where intricate murals and quirky cartoons brighten building façades. France is a comic-mad country, and Angoulême is the centre of the bande dessinée world, home to the glass-panelled National Comic Strip Centre and exuberant International Comics Festival.

Annecy

Framed by snow-capped mountains on the shores of its namesake lake, French city Annecy attracts thrill-seekers for watersports in summer and skiing in winter. Visit the Old Town’s 12th-century Palais de l’Île, a former prison which seems to float in the Thiou Canal.
