As one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations, France boasts a rich history, beautiful scenery, and a fantastic array of mouth-watering cuisine. There is a lot for visitors to see and explore. Whatever you are in the mood for, treat yourself with a luxury retreat on the French Alps or the Cote d’Azur and catch stunning views of the Eiffel Tower on the sprawling streets of Paris.
Before you pack your bags and hop on a plane to France, you should know that the western Europe nation has a very rich and unique culture. You need insights and just the right amount of traveling tact to get the best out of your trip. Here are a few tips to help you fully enjoy France at its finest.
Best Time to Visit
The best time to go to France is during the months of spring and fall. This is the best time to explore major cities and hit the top tourist attractions while avoiding crowds. Accommodation is relatively cheaper during this time of the year. Summer is also a great time to visit if you don’t mind the crowds.

What to Pack
Compared to most countries in Europe, France has more favorable weather conditions. However, you will still need to pack a variety of clothes. It can get rainy and cold even in the summer, especially if you are in mountain regions. Also be sure to bring a pair of walking shoes, travel scarf, and a collapsible water bottle.
Places to See
A trip to France would not be incomplete without seeing Paris. The impressive French capital is a global center for fashion, art, and culture. The city is packed with iconic landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, museums, and other attractions. Other places to explore include Bordeaux, Loire Valley, and the French Alps.
Keep in touch with your friends and family via the internet throughout your trip. Access to public Wi-Fi is a standard in many French cities. Be sure to use VPN for unsecure Wi-Fi hotspots in restaurants, hotels, public parks, and airports across the country. Public Wi-Fi hotspots are an easy target for hackers looking to steal sensitive user data. Using a VPN is the best way to protect your privacy when using public Wi-Fi.
