Paris, the city of light and its surroundings are one of the most visited areas. Paris is without a doubt one of the most beautiful cities on the planet.
West of France is turned towards the Atlantic Coast. In the north Normandy & Brittany have rolling hills, sandy beaches and quiet little harbour towns. Normandy & Brittany have a more rugged coast and many neolithic sites. It has quite a distinct atmosphere from the rest of the country; you can still sense the Celtic origin of the region and its inhabitants.
The eastern part of France consists of the Alsace, Lorraine, Franche Comt?and Burgundy regions. The landscape has rolling hills and many beautiful cities, such as Metz, Strasbourg, Nancy and Dijon. This region produces many famous wines, including magnificent pinot noirs and chardonnays valued the world over, as well as the famous "Yellow wine" from the Jura mountain vineyard.
The Center of France is in many ways the most quiet part of France. But the great treasure of this region is the Loire valley , with many great castles and beautiful towns. Chartres with its famous cathedral and Tours rate among the most beautiful French cities.
The South with its lovely nature, good food, roman ruins and of course the Riviera draws a lot of visitors every year. Towns like Orange, and Arles but also big cities like Marseille and Toulon are must sees. The Provence is dotted with pleasant small villages. In the South west of France the Dordogne is one of the most quintessential French regions. The valley is so pretty, the towns are so cute and the food is so good, that it is hard to believe that the people who live here go somewhere else for their holidays. The Languedoc has its own language and culture. In the south of the Languedoc you find the Pyrenees, a great mountain range separating France from Spain, where you can hike and ski. The towns of Toulouse and Montpellier are nice and the medieval town of Carcassone is a top destination.

埃菲尔铁塔
The Eiffel Tower (French: La Tour Eiffel, [tuʁ ɛfɛl], nickname La dame de fer, the iron lady) is a puddle iron lattice tower located on the Champ de Mars in Paris. Built in 1889, it has become both a global icon of France and one of the most recognizable structures in the world. The tower is the tallest building in Paris[10] and the most-visited paid monument in the world; millions of people ascend it every year. Named for its designer, engineer Gustave Eiffel, the tower was built as the entrance arch to the 1889 World's Fair.
The tower stands 324 metres (1,063 ft) tall, about the same height as an 81-storey building. Upon its completion, it surpassed the Washington Monument to assume the title of tallest man-made structure in the world, a title it held for 41 years, until the Chrysler Building in New York City was built in 1930; however, due to the addition in 1957 of the antenna, the tower is now taller than the Chrysler Building. Not including broadcast antennas, it is the second-tallest structure in France after the 2004 Millau Viaduct.
The tower has three levels for visitors. Tickets can be purchased to ascend, by stairs or lift, to the first and second levels. The walk to the first level is over 300 steps, as is the walk from the first to the second level. The third and highest level is accessible only by elevator. Both the first and second levels feature restaurants.
The tower has become the most prominent symbol of both Paris and France, often in the establishing shot of films set in the city.凯旋门
The Arc de Triomphe (Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile) is one of the most famous monuments in Paris. It stands in the centre of the Place Charles de Gaulle (originally named Place de l'Étoile), at the western end of the Champs-Élysées.[1] There is a smaller arch, the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel, which stands west of the Louvre. The Arc de Triomphe (in English: "Triumphal Arch") honours those who fought and died for France in the French Revolutionary and the Napoleonic Wars, with the names of all French victories and generals inscribed on its inner and outer surfaces. Beneath its vault lies the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier from World War I.
The Arc de Triomphe is the linchpin of the historic axis (Axe historique) — a sequence of monuments and grand thoroughfares on a route which goes from the courtyard of the Louvre, to the Grande Arche de la Défense. The monument was designed by Jean Chalgrin in 1806, and its iconographic program pitted heroically nude French youths against bearded Germanic warriors in chain mail. It set the tone for public monuments, with triumphant patriotic messages.
The monument stands 50 metres (164 ft) in height, 45 m (148 ft) wide and 22 m (72 ft) deep. The large vault is 29.19 m (95.8 ft) high and 14.62 m (48.0 ft) wide. The small vault is 18.68 m (61.3 ft) high and 8.44 m (27.7 ft) wide. It is the second largest triumphal arch in existence (after Arch of Triumph in Pyongyang). Its design was inspired by the Roman Arch of Titus. The Arc de Triomphe is so colossal that three weeks after the Paris victory parade in 1919, marking the end of hostilities in World War I, Charles Godefroy flew his Nieuport biplane through it, with the event captured on newsreel.

艾菲尔铁塔(法国:洛杉矶参观埃菲尔铁塔是一个位于巴黎的马尔斯广场的一个水坑铁格子塔。它建于1889年，已成为法国的全球标志，也是世界上最知名的建筑之一。这座塔是巴黎最高的建筑[10]，也是世界上参观人数最多的纪念碑;每年有数百万人来攀登。这座塔以其设计师古斯塔夫·埃菲尔(Gustave Eiffel)的名字命名，是1889年世界博览会的入口拱门。
这座塔高324米(1063英尺)，与81层楼高差不多。完工后，它超越了华盛顿纪念碑，成为世界上最高的人造建筑的头衔，这个头衔被保留了41年，直到1930年纽约的克莱斯勒大厦建成;然而，由于1957年天线的增加，塔现在比克莱斯勒大厦高。它不包括广播天线，是2004年米洛高架桥之后法国第二高的建筑。
这座塔有三个等级供游客使用。门票可以通过楼梯或电梯购买到第一层和第二层。走到第一层的台阶有300多个台阶，从第一个台阶到第二层台阶。第三和最高水平只能通过电梯进入。第一层和第二层都有餐厅。
这座塔已经成为巴黎和法国最突出的象征，经常是在城市里拍摄电影的场景。
2.凯旋门
凯旋门是巴黎最著名的纪念碑之一。在香榭丽舍大街的西端，它位于查尔斯·戴高乐的中心。[1]有一个较小的拱，凯旋门，它位于卢浮宫的西面。凯旋门(以英语为“凯旋门”)，表彰那些在法国大革命和拿破仑战争中为法国而战和牺牲的人，他们的名字来自法国的所有胜利，而将军们则在其内部和外部表面上刻有铭文。在它的拱顶下躺着第一次世界大战中无名士兵的墓。
凯旋门是历史轴心(斧头史家)的关键所在，它是一条从卢浮宫的庭院、通往拉德芳斯大拱门的路线上的一系列纪念物和宏伟的大道。这个纪念碑是由Jean Chalgrin在1806年设计的，它的肖像项目是在连锁邮件中，以英勇的裸体法国年轻人对抗长胡子的日耳曼战士。它为公共纪念碑定下了基调，带有胜利的爱国主义信息。
纪念碑的高度为50米(164英尺)，宽45米(148英尺)，深22米(72英尺)。大拱顶高29.19米(95.8英尺)，宽14.62米(48.0英尺)。这个小拱顶高18.68米(61.3英尺)，宽8.44米(27.7英尺)。它是现存的第二大凯旋门(在平壤凯旋门之后)。它的设计灵感来自于罗马拱门(Titus)。“凯旋门”是如此之大，以至于在1919年的巴黎胜利阅兵式上，在第一次世界大战结束时，查尔斯·戈德维德(Charles Godefroy)驾驶着他的Nieuport biplane飞行，并在新闻片上捕捉到这一事件。
Another proposed etymology is that in an ancient Germanic language, Frank means free as opposed to slave. This word still exists in French as franc, it is also used as the translation of “Frank” and to name the local money, until the use of the euro in the 2000s.
However, rather than the ethnic name of the Franks coming from the word frank, it is also possible that the word is derived from the ethnic name of the Franks,[citation needed] the connection being that only the Franks, as the conquering class, had the status of freemen. In German, France is still called Frankreich, which literally means “Realm of the Franks”. In order to distinguish from the Frankish Empire of Charlemagne, Modern France is called Frankreich, while the Frankish Realm is called Frankenreich.
The word “Frank” had been loosely used from the fall of Rome to the Middle Ages, yet from Hugh Capet's coronation as “King of the Franks” (“Rex Francorum”) it became usual to strictly refer to the Kingdom of Francia, which would become France. The Capetian Kings were descended from the Robertines, who had produced two Frankish kings, and previously held the title of “Duke of the Franks” (“dux Francorum”). This Frankish duchy encompassed most of modern northern France but because the royal power was sapped by regional princes the term was then applied to the royal demesne as shorthand. It was finally the name adopted for the entire Kingdom as central power was affirmed over the entire kingdom.
埃菲尔铁塔矗立在塞纳河南岸法国巴黎的战神广场，于1889年建成，是当时世界上最高的建筑物。埃菲尔铁塔得名于设计它的著名建筑师、结构工程师古斯塔夫·埃菲尔，全部由施耐德铁器（现施耐德电气）建造。
