France is the world's most visited country, offering everything from Parisian elegance to Riviera glamour, Alpine peaks to Atlantic surf. Its TGV high-speed rail is among the best in the world.
The TGV connects Paris to most major cities in under 3 hours. Regional trains, extensive bus networks, and budget airlines fill the gaps. Ferries cross the Channel and link Corsica.
