  The map of France here provided by the site is too good it reflects its geographical positions and very much admiring. There are thousand of beaches in France but I never understand the fact behind it as I live in London and it has no beaches and the fact behind is that it is covered by land rather than sea as in case of France; it is bordered by bay of bis cay and English Channel. France enjoys the most varied natural environment of any country in Europe; it varies from the agricultural countryside of Normandy and Brittany, or the undulating prairies of Champagne, to Alpine peaks, northern spruce forests. All is just because it is on high elevations.

  France is popular for its "gastronomy", its superb restaurants and wines. It sometimes surprises visitors, that they can find top class restaurants even in provincial towns. Many of these offer first-class menus at a little of the price one would pay for something similar in Britain or the USA. There are several directories that support and list the top restaurants, and the most famous of these are the Michelin guide and the Gault & Millau guide. So France is just not fancy but economically reasonable and offers you best of it while you are at tour of wine world.
