Our trips to France
Culture
In comparison to other nationalities, the French typically behave with more formality, especially towards strangers and acquaintances. Family is highly regarded in French culture and they have significant enthusiasm for food and wine.
Best time to visit
Many travellers content with skipping the Mediterranean lifestyle prefer to visit France during December - February (winter), when they can explore the French Alps and visit the famous landmarks with fewer crowds. The peak time for travel is generally in June - August (summer) where travellers like to make the most of the sunshine and enjoy outdoor activities by the beach. Visiting between March - May (spring) is prime time for blooming cherry blossoms, bountiful harvest at the markets and fresh wine from local wineries.

Paris
It’s a no-brainer that Paris should be on the top of your French to-do list. Say bonjour to the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe and the Notre Dame cathedral, plus marvel at Mona Lisa at the Louvre. Don’t be fooled though, there are so many amazing Parisian spots beyond the typical.
