Travel Guide France
The most fascinating point about France is its diversity, geographically enclosed by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, the English Channel to the north and the Mediterranean to the south. It is also graced with the many grandiose western mountain chains with the highest summits. It is here where western, central and southern Europe unite with unique geographical features: the plains, water courses, lakes and marshland, hilly regions, forests, extinct volcanoes, snowy mountain peaks, long sandy beaches, and coastlines sometimes cut by steep cliffs. The culture and history of each region is also just as diverse.
