In Western Europe we have the country of France, linked to the UK via the Channel Tunnel, hopping on the Eurostar is a quick way to get there. As one of the founding members of the European Union and 82 million tourists visiting every year, it is the most visited country in the world. If you do choose to explore France, here is a taster of some of the things you can see. We're going on a Fly-Drive to the South of France and exploring a few of the cities Amazon.de.
Carcassonne: We start our journey in the land of Carcassonne. Take your rental car from the airport and go directly to the city. Probably one of the most beautiful cities of France, Carcassonne is only an hour from Toulouse and is definitely a must for any traveler to stop and history lovers. This beautiful fully fortified French city has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List View 1997th day or night, both are so fascinating! The Fortressconsists of 53 towers and a double ring of walls. I am very likely that one day enjoy exploring the city to spend.
Narbonne: Drive over forty, which is located five minutes from Narbonne, 60.3 kilometers (37.4 miles), this port town, but now is further away from the Mediterranean and the change in the course of the Aude. Stop and visit Narbonne Cathedral, built in 1272, the return on the towers, the beach and enjoy a relaxing day in the sunor head into the city centre and explore the remains of the Via Domitia, the first Roman road built in Gaul.
Agde: The small town of Agde is 51.5km (32miles) away, taking 45 minutes from Narbonne. It used to be a Greek colony in the 55th century. Most of the building here are built from Black Basalt which gives the town a very unique architecture. Enjoy this quirky town and have a coffee by the Fountain of the Republic in the town centre or walk around the old Amphitrite statue, The Sea Goddess by the river.
Montpellier: Our last stop is Montpellier, an hour's drive away 61.6km (38.3miles). This lively city has some great attractions, the main being the Place de Comedie with sights such as the fountain that was moved here after a fire called Three Graces and the Oprea Comedie building. There is also a small park where you can enjoy some quiet time and reflect on your holiday. A must see attraction is the oldest botanical garden in France, founded in 1593, the Jardin des plantes de Montpellier, 4.5 hectares of free roaming gardens of all kinds of plants and trees. Then sadly, take yourself to Montpellier Airport, drop your car rental off, wipe the tears and fly home.
A great tip on the way is to send yourself and your family a postcard reminding yourself of the great things you have seen, so you have a wonderful memory from each place you have visited. You can cover a lot in a Fly-Drive by picking up a car hire in France at different locations, but you also must remember to plan ahead, plan your stops and overnight stays as well as account for food to make this one hell of a great trip!
