Why Tourism is Booming in France

Why do you think France is in the first place on everyone’s travel list? It's not a coincidence. France has been a favourite destination but recently its popularity has been skyrocketing.

It has become the most travelled country in the world, with the number of visitors and the amount of money made in tourism reaching their highest points. This isn't just luck.

It is due to the fact that France has an incredible variety of sights and attractions to visit and to do, an intelligent governmental organisation, and is preparing to host some of the largest events in the world.

Why then, why is tourism booming so well in France?

Top Reasons Why Trousim is Booming in France

Here are some of the top things and destinations that make you feel the importance of visiting this amazing country again and again.

  1. Paris, the City Everybody Wants to Go To

Paris is a magnet for international travellers. The city has all you may desire in an ideal getaway.

  • Well-Known Landmarks That Leave You Speechless

Who would not like to visit the Eiffel Tower personally? The Louvre Museum along with Mona Lisa, Notre-Dame Cathedral, and the Arc de Triomphe, and you have a city that is filled with the things that you don't want to miss. They are not tourist traps but truly spectacular locations that are worth the hype.

Need to save money and do away with those long tourist lines? A Paris Pass allows you to visit more than 95 attractions and avoid queues at some of the most popular attractions such as the Louvre.

It includes 50 or more museums and monuments at a flat rate, meaning you can sightsee at your personal pace without the fear of purchasing individual tickets at each place of visit.

  • Food That Will Change Your Life

French cuisine is not simply delicious but mythical. You may eat in an elegant restaurant or a croissant in a nearby bakery but any meal is unique. There are both comfortable cafes and the most famous restaurants in Paris where the best chefs of the world design food masterpieces.

  1. Beaches, Mountains, and Everything in Between

France is as though it were many nations. You can take a sun-bath on the shores of the Mediterranean in the morning and in the afternoon, go skiing in the Alps, just saying!

  • Beautiful Beaches

The French Riviera is a place that has glamour coastal towns such as Nice and Cannes. Imagine the clearest water, the luxury yachts and that golden tan you have always desired. These beaches are more than pretty, they are the ones the celebrities go on vacation so you know they are good.

  • Mountain Adventures

Love skiing or hiking? The French Alps are just there for you. Resorts such as Chamonix have world-class slopes during winter and amazing hiking routes during summer. You do not have to be sporty as the mountain views are worth the visit.

  • Fairy-Tale Countryside

Imagine rolling hills of lavender, old castles, vineyards, all the way up to the horizon. That is what you receive in such regions as Provence and the Loire Valley. It is like walking into a fairy tale.

  1. History You Can Actually Touch

The history of France is more than 2,000 years old, and you can feel this history at any place you visit.

  • Castles and Palaces

The Palace of Versailles is so immense that it is nearly comical. It contains a hall of mirrors and huge gardens, which demonstrate the way French royalty used to live. France is full of castles, and each of them has something to say.

  • Living History

France allows you to walk through history unlike in museums where you only view objects through glasses. You can reserve a medieval hotel, take a meal in a restaurant which has been offering its services to the population throughout the 300-year-old history, or walk through the streets that have not altered substantially since the time of Napoleon.

  1. Wine and Food Paradise

France is France, and if you love good food and wine you are pretty much in heaven. You can go to Bordeaux and get amazing red wines or to Burgundy to get wine that costs more than your car (but is fantastic). You do not have to be a wine expert; these are beautiful areas and the tastings are entertaining.

To Wrap Up, 

Tourism contributes to France an annual revenue of about EUR71 billion and provides millions of jobs. The government spends a lot of money ensuring that attractions are beautiful and available, so your experience only continues to improve.

France is also perfect since it has something to offer everybody- romance, adventure, culture, food, history and natural beauty all packaged into one amazing place. It is impossible to visit France once or a thousand times and find nothing new.

This is why France is preferred by more than 100 million people annually. So, don't wait anymore and purchase a Paris Pass and visit the amazing city and its culture.
