About France for visitors
France remains the world's top tourist destination — Paris dominates (Louvre, Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe), but Provence's lavender fields, the Côte d'Azur's beach glamour, Bordeaux's wine routes, and the Alps attract every traveler archetype. Art lovers, food tourists, beach seekers, and mountaineers all find their niche.
Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) is Europe's second-busiest airport; Orly (ORY) and Nice (NCE) handle overflow. Immigration queues move steadily but peak times can stretch during summer and holidays, especially at CDG.
