Tours to France

France owes its enduring allure to an enchanting blend of rich cultural heritage, stunning landscapes, and an unrivaled art of living. Medieval villages, bustling metropolises, lavender fields, alpine peaks, and glamorous Riviera beaches together form a mosaic that travelers find utterly irresistible. A predominantly Christian nation, France is renowned for its deep artistic legacy, culinary excellence, and that unmistakable French joie de vivre.

General Information

France is located in Western Europe, bordered by Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, and the Atlantic coast. The capital, Paris, is the world’s most visited city — a place of iconic monuments, grand museums, haute couture, and vibrant café life.

French is the official language, and while English is commonly spoken in tourist areas, even a simple “Bonjour!” is warmly appreciated.

Direct flights from New Delhi to Paris take about 8–9 hours, and France’s superb high-speed train network (TGV) connects you easily to other gems like Lyon, Bordeaux, Nice, and Strasbourg.

France’s top destinations — Paris, the Loire Valley, Provence, the French Riviera, Normandy, and Alsace — offer something for every traveler, from luxurious château hotels to cozy countryside inns and modern boutique stays.

Climate

France’s varied geography means it has several climate zones.

• Spring (April–June) and autumn (September–October) are often considered the best times to visit, with pleasant temperatures (15–25°C), fewer crowds, and lovely seasonal colors.
• Summer (July–August) brings warm weather (25–35°C), lively festivals, and busy beaches.
• Winter (December–February) is magical for Christmas markets, skiing in the Alps, or enjoying quieter city visits.
