France Travel
France enchants visitors with its unmistakably familiar culture, weaved around cafe terraces, village-square markets, and lace-curtained bistros. France is the world's most popular tourist destination, drawing 89 million tourists each year to its incredible collection of museums, galleries, ateliers (artist workshops), and hands-on cultural experiences. From the glistening Eiffel, to the royal Versailles, to the medieval towns of the French Riviera, to the lavender and sunflower fields of Provence and Valensole, to the wine-growing Alsace, there's plenty to discover. Through this series of articles, I intend to share our stories and experiences of traveling across France with our fellow photography and travel enthusiasts. I hope they help you plan your travels across this beautiful country!
With an age-old tradition dating back to the 14th century, France is one of those countries in Europe, where celebrating Christmas with zest and fervor is deeply rooted within its national culture. And since the concept of the world's first ever Christmas Tree originated from here, France has as much right to the title of ‘The Home of Christmas’ as the North Pole. Owing to the diverse geography running from the French Alps to the Mediterranean, France follows different Christmas customs in different regions. But there is one thing in common - the Christmas Markets!
