Just a quick jaunt across the Channel, France is one of the most popular holiday destinations for British tourists.<\/p>\n

Whether it’s by train, ferry, or plane, the proximity of our neighbours across the water makes France an ideal place for a quick getaway.<\/p>\n

Not just for Brits either, as France has the most yearly international visitors in Europe – with Paris only second to London in terms of the most visited cities.<\/p>\n

The appeal of France to holidaymakers is plain to see, whether it’s the romance of Paris or the beauty of the French Riviera, it is a breathtaking country.<\/p>\n

Whilst Paris has its fair share of domestic visitors, French tourists tend to frequent less internationally-known locations for their staycations.<\/p>\n
