ABOUT FRANCE

France – sharing borders with Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Andorra, and Monaco; extends from the Mediterranean Sea to the English Channel and the North Sea, and from the Rhine to the Atlantic Ocean with its capital in Paris, the country's largest city and main cultural and commercial center.

France is a city that caters to the needs of every tourist. From the rich history of its cities to the urbane sophistication, France provides a wide array of legendary food and wine, as well as spectacular scenery – be it the resilient mountains and thriving forests, gleaming beaches with cerulean seas, or countrysides with vast pastures and roaring rivers. Its status as the world’s most popular tourist destination, according to the United Nations World Tourism Organization, is proof of its beauty and heritage.

Perhaps you would associate France with its intellectual and artistic heritage. This nation is, after all, a proud host to the finest thinkers, filmmakers, and artists. It has also produced renowned scientists, mathematicians, as well as other researchers, whose titles may be slightly less familiar, but whose achievements are no less spectacular.
