Why France?
France sits on the westernmost part of Europe and is renowned for its wine, food, and high fashion. It is unique geographically in that it has coastlines on both the warm Mediterranean Sea and the cold North Atlantic. Travelers can bask in the sun on its southern beaches or pause for reflection at Dunkirk in the north. Its national icon, the Eiffel Tower, sits in the center of Paris and is just over three hours away from Grenoble. For those interested in art, France boasts world famous museums, like The Louvre, and stunning gothic architecture.
