France Overview

Ideally located in the heart of Europe, France is the gay-friendly destination par excellence.
We invite you to discover Paris and the spectacularly varied regions of France, its cultural treasures, breathtaking beauty and diversity of attractions. It offers mountain ranges, coastlines like in Brittany or along the Mediterranean Sea, cities with a rich cultural heritage, châteaux (castles) like Versailles, countryside, vineyards in Burgundy or Provence.

Paris, the capital city of France attracts tourists with museums such as the Louvre and Musée d'Orsay, the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe and cathedral of Notre-Dame and dozens of other attractions, for example, Disneyland Paris.

In the eastern parts of France there are skiing resorts in the Alps. Other notable cities are Avignon with the Popes' palace, Arles, Aix-en-Provence, Marseille, Nice, Orléans, Saint-Benoît-du-Sault on the Loire River, Toulouse on the Garonne, Strasbourg on the border with Germany, Nantes and Lyon.

France's tourist industry, however, is not limited to the towns and cities, Paris and the Alpine ski resorts. All over France rental accommodations and hotels are available. For example, the English like to spend their summers in the Dordogne valley, the Spanish vacation in Biarritz and St Jean de Luz on the Basque coast, and the Irish often visit Lourdes.

France's Mediterranean beaches in the French Riviera, Languedoc-Roussillon, or Corsica, are famous. The great touristic potential of French Polynesia (especially Tahiti) and Caribbean islands (Martinique, Guadeloupe and others) are very attractive.

France offers a high-speed train service called TGV (train à grande vitesse) as well as regional services, both operated by the SNCF.
