MY TOP 3 DESTINATIONS IN FRANCE
Let’s finish this lesson with 3 French destinations I particulary like in France. I actually used to work as a tour guide, a long time ago, so I was lucky enough to travel all over France. And here are 3 of my favorite destinations. I’ve tried to select very different places so that you can have a choice, depending on what you like to discover.
Numéro 1. LE MONT SAINT MICHEL, en NORMANDIE – a monastery perched on an island
Numéro 2. MONTMARTRE à PARIS – the touristic, bohemian hill of Montmartre, with the Moulin Rouge
Numéro 3. AIGUES MORTES en CAMARGUE – a fortified city buzzing in summer, on the Mediterranean coast.
Obviously, there are many more places I love and that I’d highly recommend, but these are pretty great ones to me.
That’s all I’ve got for now. A PLUS, ET PROFITEZ BIEN DE VOS VACANCES, BIEN SÛR.
