Welcome!
France is a country that welcomes over 70 million tourists a year who visit its beaches, mountains and cities. As the third largest country in Europe, it has a diverse landscape from the sandy beaches of the Riviera, the crisp air of the Alps and the vineyards of the Bordeaux. It is so rich in art and architecture that one just has to walk the streets of Paris to immerse oneself in the culture. Famous literary Frenchmen include Hugo, Camus and Proust; artists include Degas, Monet and Rodin; famous philosophers are Voltaire, Sartre and Derrida.
The weather in France varies from region to region. Although it rarely snows, rain does occur. Brittany and Brent receive the greatest amount of rainfall between October and December. The Mediterranean coast region has the driest climate in France and when it does rain, it is heavy during spring and autumn. If you are looking for the best skiing in the world then visit the Alps during the months of December to January.
The best time to visit Paris is during spring or fall when the conditions are perfect from good-tempered waiters and great weather. The months of July and August are devoid of Parisians, it is during this time that the city is full of tourists and pickpockets who love them. The rest of the country on the other hand is full of Frenchmen especially along the Atlantic coast during this time.
