France is known for the dining, romance, and beauty of Paris as well as for the wines of Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, and the Loire Valley. The French Riviera cities of Cannes and Nice, the mountain towns of Mont Blanc, and the historic cliffs of Normandy are more reasons to travel to France. Charming Strasbourg, beautiful Avignon, and the Mediterranean island of Corsica are popular destinations in France.
