France remains one of the most visited destinations in the world due to its ideal location in Western Europe and the variety of landscapes; from coastal plains in the north and west to mountain ranges of the Alps in the southeast, and the Massif Central and Pyrenees in the south central and west. France is regarded as a bastion of beauty and the arts and culture with her melodic language, wines and cheeses, ornate architecture, romantic settings, and pleasant climate.

Paris, the capital of France, possesses a unique charm and rich history to compliment the world-renowned museums, parks, monuments, cathedrals, shopping districts, and high fashion centers that draw over 80 million visitors each year.
