THE BEST KNOWN CITIES OF FRANCE

There is much to see and do in France, but a traveler pressed for time and with limited purses will often have to make the difficult choice of narrowing down an itinerary. Here are some of the most interesting cities of France that are frequently visited because of the wide number of tourist attractions:

• Paris. This is one of the most romantic cities in the world, and (as the capital of the country) is home to its biggest museums and historical monuments. The restaurants and hotels here are world-class, and the galleries display the latest work of up and coming artists.
• Bordeaux. It is the capital of the South west region and is famous for its wines.
• Cannes. Home to the famous film festival.
• Lyon. It has one of the richest histories, having played a large role during the Roman occupation and the Resistance.
• Marseille. This is the heart of the famous Provence region, one of the most picturesque (and oft painted) regions in the country.
• Nice. This is found on the French Riviera and is famous for its resorts.
