Here are some of the must-see sights for which France is famous for;
Eiffel Tower: Made of 10,000 tonnes of iron, this tower is unquestionably the most famous French landmark, if not European monument, receiving six million visitors per year. Once climbed (by stairs or elevator), the Eiffel Tower offers outstanding views of Paris, as well as restaurant dining.
Arc de Triomphe:Another Paris landmark, the Arc de Triomphe is the world's largest traffic roundabout and triumphal arch. From the viewing platform, one can see the twelve avenues of place de l'Etoile, including Champs-Elysees.
Chateau de Versailles:The site of kings, queens and revolutionary upheaval, this grand chateau is the most famous in all of France. Located in the suburb of Versailles, just 21km southwest of Paris, this is a truly fascinating introduction to French history, and the lavish architecture and manicured, lush grounds are a marvel.
Basilique Notre Dame d eFourviere: Located in Lyon, France's second largest city and capital of the Rhone-Alpes region, this Basilica is a grand statement of religious French architecture which dominated during the late 19th century.
Musee Claude Monet: This is the home, studio and gardens of the famous impressionist painter, Claude Monet. Hidden in the small town of Giverny, the museum and gardens provide an intimate picture of colour and light, from the which the great painter found his inspiration.
