What are the most beautiful places in France?
-
I am doing a bicycle tour through France in the summer and would like to see the most beautiful places in France. I really appreciate your help!

Answer:
There hundreds (if not thousands) of sites. You should set a reasonable goal (south, west...). For a bicycle visit, let's say 15 days, I would start by Perigord and maybe a bit south (Arles, Toulouse, Cevennes...). You'll get so many sites to see: castles, rivers, gorges... Incredible. But you can also choose the alps, the south (quite crowded in summer), the atlantic... It really depends on what you want to do/see, but you can't do all ("the most beautiful" places) in one single trip. Paris itself is worth a week trip.

I'd say the Pyrénées for landscapes and nature, then les chateaux de la Loire for history and architecture, and finally small typical villages located in the south where you can feel the real habits and heritage of old France. I could add the Mediterranean coast (Cassis for example) for the sea life and the beauty of coasts.

Certainly do not miss Paris. If you can allocate a few days for sight-seeing. I took the TGV to Nice and missed most (all) of southern France and the wine country. If you're doing a bicycle tour, you'll probably spend most of your time in this region. I did not find Nice attractive, though I would have liked to drive the French and Italian Riviera. Instead I took the train from Nice to Chamonix and a cog railway through the French and Italian Alps to Geneva. I highly recommend Chamonix, visiting Mt Blanc, and the very romantic train ride through the alps. You might be able to take your bicycle on the train, the terrain getting to Chamonix is challenging. Hope this helps.

Go on the website of the association "http://www.les-plus-beaux-villages-de-france.org/en" (literally "France's most beautiful villages"): they do an amazing job at identifying the most beautiful villages in the country.
