Now that winter has passed, many people begin to consider going abroad in the summer vacation. Why not travel to France this year?
France is a good place for a holiday. This is a big country with coastlines in the English Channel, Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. In addition, it has many mountainous areas that are very suitable for skiing.
The center of France is a huge agricultural area, which grows crops such as wheat and sunflower. Driving through seemingly endless fields or whole hills covered with neatly arranged vines is amazing. One of the most scenic places is the Loire Valley, where you can visit the castles where the king and queen of France once lived.
Paris is the capital of France. This is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. Paris is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, because it has famous landmark buildings, such as the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe, and wide streets lined with trees.
If you are taking care of your children, please remember that Euro Disneyland is only one hour away from the center of Paris. It offers many entertainment projects, such as Disneyland in America.
If you want to continue to visit Britain, you can go to Britain now without flying or taking a ferry. The English Channel Tunnel, or (by its nickname) the "cross-harbour tunnel", enables you to reach London by train in about three hours from Paris.
In our city, we can see the influence of France in some ways. Like China, France is famous for its food. Some bakeries offer French bread and cakes. Other popular French products are its cheese, brandy and wine.
Many top brands in the world are French. Some names, such as Dior for clothing, Chanel for perfume and Cartier for jewelry, are familiar to China people. A brisk walk along Nanjing Road will remind you of more similar names.
France is also a leader in art and culture. Many young students from different countries go to France for further study. Every year, French film festivals, expositions and concerts are held all over the world.
In order to spend a better holiday in France, why not study French hard now? You can do this in some language schools near the city now. Is this it?
