Picturing this land of romantic, tree-lined boulevards, café culture, haute cuisine and iconic landmarks, it’s easy to see why the French are a proud people. The country's landscape ranges from rustic farmland in Brittany to the dramatic, glacial Alps - from limestone hills in Provence to the sun-baked beaches of the Riviera. Add events like the French Open and Cannes Film Festival to its attractions and it’s clear to see why the land of cheese and fine wine is such a regular entry on top destination lists.
