Destinations to discover today

A destination is more than a city: it's everything you can experience there.

Lyon

Third largest city in France, between the Ródano and the Saona rivers: historic center listed by UNESCO, bouchons, traboules and the Festa das Luzes in December.

Versalhes and the surroundings of Paris

The royal palaces of Versalhes and Fontainebleau, the forest popular with painters and climbers, and the castle of Vaux-le-Vicomte — all less than an hour by train from Paris.

Côte d'Azur

Nice, Cannes and Antibes linked by seaside trains on the Mediterranean: old towns, museums of Matisse, Chagall and Picasso, islands and villages atop the hills.

Carcassonne and Toulouse

The brick city on the banks of the Garonne and the medieval walled city on the Aude, connected by train in about an hour and by the Canal du Midi.

Bretanha

Rennes, the capital of half-timbered houses, and Saint-Malo, the walled city beside some of the largest tides in Europe, in the northwest of France.

Champagne

Reims and Épernay, the cellars dug into the limestone, the vineyards on the slopes and the cathedral where the kings of France were crowned, 45 minutes by TGV from Paris.

Vale do Loire

Renaissance castles along the Loire and its tributaries, based in Tours, Amboise and Blois, with a direct train from Paris.

Normandy and Mont-Saint-Michel

Joan of Arc's Rouen, the port of Honfleur, the D-Day beaches near Bayeux and the abbey of Mont-Saint-Michel, ringed by the tides.

French Alps

Annecy, on the shore of a lake between mountains, and Chamonix, at the foot of Mont Blanc, with cable cars that rise to almost 3,800 meters.

Córsega

French island in the Mediterranean, with Ajaccio, Napoleon's birthplace, the cliffs of Bonifácio, the Calanques de Piana and pale-sand beaches in the south.

Bordéus and the vineyards

Bordéus, an 18th-century city on the banks of the Garonne, and the vineyards of Saint-Émilion and the Médoc, about 2 hours by TGV from Paris.

Paris
