At this time of the year, you are probably checking how to make the most of your holidays in France.
We have gathered here 5 tips before your travel to France.

1. Speaking
As you know, French people always appreciate when you make the effort to speak a bit of French.
What about taking some French conversation lessons before your trip to help you brush up your French? It is recommended to choose an online French tutor to learn with before your trip. Via Skype or by phone, a dedicated French tutor is probably the most convenient and economical solution.

2. Eating
France is famous for its cuisine, cheeses and wines. Check the Michelin guide so that you don’t miss out on the best French restaurants. For some, you will need to book a while in advance, be careful!

3. Traveling
France is beautiful country. You might want to travel by train (TGV), or to rent a car if you prefer to go to small villages that are not easily accessible by train. Check your map to see what is the best option for you.

4. Cultural sites
There’s no lack of museums in France. They are definitely part of the landscape. If you’re in Paris for just a few days, you might not want to spend a full day to visit the Louvre (even though you would probably find it worthwhile), but you can find some smaller ones, although not as famous but still with magnificent collections of art.

5. The Province
As nice as Paris and the other major cities are the charm and history of the country areas with their castles, small villages, picturesque landscapes and old world sensibilities is still the heart of the country and not to be missed.
