France has a population of about 68 million, with French as the official language and regional languages such as Breton, Occitan, Alsatian, and Corsican spoken in various areas. Its currency is the Euro (EUR), and the climate varies from Mediterranean in the south to oceanic in the west and continental in the east.
Visitors are drawn to France for its art, history, landscapes, and cuisine. You can stroll along the Seine and visit the Louvre or Musée d’Orsay in Paris, wander the medieval streets of Carcassonne, hike through the lavender fields of Provence, ski the slopes of Chamonix in the French Alps, explore the sun-soaked beaches of Nice on the Côte d’Azur, or tour the ornate castles of the Loire Valley like Château de Chambord. French cuisine is deeply regional and celebrated, from bouillabaisse in Marseille, coq au vin in Burgundy, and tarte flambée in Alsace, to buttery croissants and cheeses in Parisian boulangeries, all often paired with local wines. The population is diverse, with cultural influences from Europe, North Africa, and beyond, and traditions shine through local festivals, fashion weeks, jazz and folk music, and arts that continue to define French identity.
