France Guide
See firsthand why France is such a popular
European holiday destination with A Ferry
UK. Discover fantastic shopping, a rich
history, changing landscapes and amazing
food and wine. France gave the world
champagne, over 365 kinds of cheese, and
some of the world's most famous artists.
France is the largest country in Europe,
offering a spectacular variety of scenery,
from the mountain ranges of the Alps and
Pyrenees to the attractive river valleys of
the Loire, Rhone and Dordogne and the
flatter countryside in Normandy and on the
Atlantic coast. The country has some 1,800
miles of coastlines to enjoy.
Travel in France
Take your family and a car across the
channel to France and explore the country
via the excellent network of roads. Remember
traffic drives on the right. Motorways
(autoroutes) bear the prefix `A' and some of
these will be toll roads (autoroutes à
péage). National roads (routes nationales)
are marked `N' while minor roads are classed
as `D' roads.
French Railways (SNCF) operates a nationwide
network of 21,250 miles of track - about a
third of which is electrified. The TGV
(train à grande vitesse) runs from Paris to
Brittany and southwest France at 300kph
(186mph), to Lyon and the southeast at
270kph (168mph) and to Strasbourg and the
east at 320kph (199mph).
Things to see
The capital of France, Paris, and its famous
Eiffel Tower, are a popular destination for
holidays or weekend breaks. Why not combine
a stay in Paris with a visit to Disneyland.
When you catch a ferry to France, Normandy
and Brittany are within close reach of
regular ferry crossings, as are all the
hyper-markets around Calais where you can
make big savings on food, drinks and
cigarettes. Many people head to the Normandy
coast either for its lively night life or
the Norman countryside, with its cool,
wooded valleys and its beech and pine
forests that offer a haven of peace and
tranquillity.
A long, rugged coastline, vast bays of
glorious beaches, and a secretive, almost
mystical interior is the lasting impression
of Brittany. This most westward region of
France, where the Bretons speak their
ancient language and carry on age-old
traditions, always seems a little out of
step with mainstream France, but the many
attractions welcome visitors in their
thousands year after year. Visit France's
numerous cathedrals, including Reims, where
Clovis (the first French king) was baptised,
Chartres and Tours.
