Top Cultural, Religious and Historic Sites in France
- Constructed for the World’s Fair of 1889 and only ever intended to remain standing for a year, the Eiffel Tower is an iconic Paris attraction and still the tallest structure in the French capital.
- Situated on the outskirts of the capital, the Palace of Versailles was the main residence of the French kings until the revolution in 1789. Its mix of exquisite gardens and sumptuous interiors make it one of the most popular sites to visit on a tour in France.
- Sitting just by its ferry port, Marseille’s cathedral is a gothic splendor first built in the twelfth century and substantially rebuilt in the 1850s. Its black and white exterior acts as a wonderful contrast to the bright blue skies of summer.
- While St Tropez may be best known for its beautifully tanned and très chic residents, this Provencal town has a wonderful seventeenth-century citadel fortress containing a maritime museum that offers some of the best vistas in the south of France.
