Depends how much time you’ll have to spend in France, but each area has something special to offer, and just about every city has a long history, beautiful buildings, and plenty to see. So, what you see and where you go will depend very much on your interests. If you really are intending to go to France, and your question is not for a homework assignment, I suggest you buy a guidebook to France and work out an itinerary based on your interests.
Here are some of the places, rather than things, that I believe are worth visiting, and every visitor to France will have a different list. Just Google to find out more about these places:
Paris, you could spend your entire time here and not see everything.
Mont St Michel (famous rocky monastery island off coast of Normandy)
Lyon
Dijon
Rouen (where Joan of Arc was burnt at the stake)
Pont du Gard (Roman aqueduct near Nimes)
Avignon
Arles
Aix-en-Provence
Grenoble (in the French Alps)
St Jean Pied de Port (small town in the Pyrenees)
Le Puy en Velay
Paris, Aix-en-Provence, Montpellier, the Alps, mediterranean sea, Dune of Pilat, Lake Annecy…
How long are you going? Because doing a lot of different locations in a short trip WILL suck.
Second- early summer is much better than winter. More shops, antiques, museums… are open. When it rains, things shut down. I would rather suffer with a few more tourists around, that sob in front of yet another closed site.
Nice/Monaco are beautiful. If you are even remotely an art person- the Louvre, d’Orsay and many other museums in Paris have to be seen. (Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo) Not to mention, Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triumphe, Notre Dame.
Normandy coast; Provence; lavender fields; Versailles; ‘les chateau de dames’
Seriously it’s IMPOSSIBLE to answer such a question, France is a very diverse country and depending on where you go, you might end up doing totally different things !
Paris. period. and when youre there, go the see the eiffel tower in the evening. its beautiful then…
1-Paris, the city itself (Eiffel Tower, Louvre and Orsay museum, Tuileries, Luxembourg, Marais aera, Defense)
2-The aera aroung Paris: Versailles, Fontainebleau, Chantilly, Sceaux
3-The Mont St Michel in Normandy: a abbaye built on a rock in the middle of a bay, looks like a castle build on sand a low tide and a castle on the see a hight tide, really the most beautiful part of France, the whole cotentin peninsula is very beautiful also. In the same region, Normandy there is the cliffs of Etretat which are famous too, the d-day sites, Rouen.
