France sits as a cultural heart of Europe, renowned for art, fashion, cuisine, and history.

Its geography is varied, from rolling vineyards of Burgundy and Bordeaux, to the Alps and Pyrenees rising dramatically in the east and south, to Mediterranean beaches and lavender fields in the south.

France's story has played a major role in shaping the world: the French Revolution, the Age of Enlightenment, and landmarks like the Eiffel Tower that symbolize both influence and pride.

France is an elegant, yet bold place, offering refinement and a sense of life's simple pleasures imbued with style.
