From its charming countryside to its bustling cities, France has something for everyone to enjoy - but deciding where to go can be a daunting task, especially if you’ve never been before. Luckily, at Scott Dunn, our travel experts know this beautiful country inside out and are ready to help you plan where to visit in France on your next vacation.

Whether it’s your first trip or your fiftieth, Paris is undoubtedly one of the best places to visit in France. Known as the ‘City of Lights’, France’s capital city is renowned for its fashionable boutiques, impressive architecture, plentiful galleries and delicious French food. From a private tour of the Louvre to dining along the Seine, there are endless things to see and do in this cosmopolitan capital, and our travel experts are passionate about helping you plan them all. 

But, if you want to escape the busy city and tourists, France has plenty more to offer. The Loire Valley is a great place to visit in France to explore the region’s many chateaux or enjoy sampling some of France’s best produce with wine tasting at a local vineyard. If you’re looking to relax in style, the Cote d’Azur is the ultimate vacation destination in France for a truly indulgent break. Sip cocktails in chic Riviera towns like Cannes and St Tropez or get back to nature with a stay in one of the area’s charming hilltop villages - the choice is yours.

Looking to enjoy France’s excellent ski locations? No trip is complete without a visit to one of the most famous places in France - the Alps. From Chamonix to Méribel, we’ll help you find the best resorts and destinations for an unforgettable time on the slopes.
