About France
France, the land of romance and revolution, is acknowledged with both its captivating sights and its world-renowned cuisine. French cooking is considered the highest form of culinary artistry, where fresh, seasonal ingredients are meticulously prepared and presented with an emphasis on simplicity and elegance. From the buttery richness of croissants to the delicate flavours of a perfectly cooked steak au poivre, French food is an experience that appeals to all the senses.
Beyond the plate, France's diverse landscapes offer a feast for the eyes. Hike the snow-capped peaks of the French Alps, wander through the lavender fields of Provence, or marvel at the architectural design of the Palace of Versailles. History enthusiasts can explore medieval castles and Roman ruins, while art lovers can lose themselves in the Louvre's vast collections or the vibrant street art scene.
But France's charm extends beyond the iconic landmarks. Explore bustling markets overflowing with fresh produce, sip on a strong espresso at a local café, and immerse yourself in the laid-back rhythm of everyday life. Whether you're indulging in a Michelin-starred meal or picnicking under the Eiffel Tower, France promises an unforgettable cultural and culinary adventure.

They switch to CEST on the last Sunday of March and back to CET on the last Sunday of October.

Best time to visit: The best time to plan a trip to France is either from April to June or from September to November, as these seasons offer moderate temperatures and fewer crowds compared to the scorching heat and congestion during the summer period.
