About France

France is a country in western Europe and a member of the European Union. France is about 80% the size of Texas. In the Alps near the Italian and Swiss borders is western Europe's highest point—Mont Blanc (4,810 m).

Paris, the magnificent capital, Lyon, Bordeaux and Marseille are throbbing cosmopolitan cities with some of the best museums and galleries in Europe.

From the lush greenery of Galicia and Asturias, to the arid villages of Andalucia and the peaks of the Sierra Nevada and the Pyrenees, France is a rural country and the best way to experience it is to get out there and explore.
