Popular places in France



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.

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.
