What to do in France<br />

Sightseeing<br />

Such a diverse country boasting a magnificent<br />

range of attractions from rolling vineyards to<br />

spectacular architecture and artwork; here’s just a<br />

snippet of what there is to see and do in France.<br />

Lille: Situated close to the Belgian border, Lille<br />

offers a delightful blend of French and Flemish flair,<br />

filled with grand architecture and cobble-stoned<br />

streets. <strong>The</strong> Palais des Beaux-Arts is a striking<br />

19th century building which houses the museum<br />

of fine arts, the second largest museum in France<br />

after the Louvre.<br />

Lyon: Lyon is a city rich in food, history and<br />

culture. It is the second largest metropolitan area<br />

in France after <strong>Paris</strong>; it is home to some of the<br />

finest restaurants in the country and is listed as a<br />

UNESCO World heritage site. Set amongst the<br />

Opera <strong>House</strong>, a landmark attraction in Lyon.<br />

Bordeaux: This is the perfect destination for wine<br />

connoisseurs, although there are plenty of other<br />

things to do here. Don't miss the view from Les<br />

Quais, including the beautiful Aquitaine Bridge; the<br />

historical monuments and museums such as the<br />

Museum of Contemporary Art and the Musee<br />

Gardens.<br />

shopping, the French Riviera is the place to be<br />

seen for the rich and famous. <strong>The</strong> most likely<br />

place for celebrity spotting is the long, shopstudded<br />

promenade of La Croisette in Cannes.<br />
