Paris highlights, Versailles splendour and memorable stops across northern and southern France
France tours often begin in Paris, pairing landmark sights with time to explore neighbourhoods on foot. Many itineraries include the Palace of Versailles, as well as a Seine cruise that frames the city from the water. Montmartre is another frequent highlight, offering a different side of the capital. Beyond Paris, routes can take in Rouen for its medieval streets and cathedral, with time in Normandy around Caen and nearby coastal locations such as Honfleur. Further south, Lyon features on several itineraries as a key stop for history and atmosphere. For a Riviera flavour, some tours base in Cannes and add excursions to Antibes and Nice, combining coastal scenery with old town strolls and panoramic viewpoints.

Why visit France
Classic sights, historic towns and coastal escapes in one standout European destination
France has an easy way of combining world famous icons with everyday pleasures. Paris brings instantly recognisable sights, grand boulevards and neighbourhoods built for wandering, with popular itineraries featuring time at Montmartre, views from the Eiffel Tower and a cruise along the Seine. Beyond the capital, northern France introduces medieval streets and cathedral architecture in Rouen, plus coastal atmosphere in places like Honfleur. Longer journeys can add the cultural energy of Lyon, with its historic center, and route through Normandy with visits that focus on history and shoreline landscapes. In the south, France shifts pace again, with Riviera bases such as Cannes offering time for promenades, beaches and day trips to Antibes and Nice. Tours in France suit travelers who want a structured route across key highlights, with time built in to explore at a personal pace.
