france travel costs and attractions

France is a country with which nearly any traveler has a friendship. Often dreams of the pleasures of living are shown by the endless cafés, picturesque villages, and world-famous gastronomy.

Some come to follow the direction of the great French thinkers, authors, and musicians, or to immerse themselves in the beautiful language of the world. Others are also attracted to the country’s geological diversity, with its long coastlines, vast mountain ranges, and spectacular views of the countryside.

France isn’t cheap, especially when compared to Romania and other countries from Eastern Europe or the Balkans. But it has a lot to offer beyond the major cities. If you go out into the countryside or to smaller towns close to popular travel destinations, you’ll see that it’s possible to discover France even while on a budget.

Speaking of the popular travel destinations in France, the major ones, in alphabetical order, are Lyon, Marseille, Nice, and Paris (the capital).
