To tell that France is the most visited tourists’ destination in the world is to tell nothing. What is France associated with. First of all with romantic and at the same time passionate love, with mysterious charm of smalls towns and crazy modernity of big cities, excellent sceneries and warmly welcoming people, with the Louvre, Montmartre and of course with the Cathedral of Notre Dame.

France is the birthplace of Gothic Art, which was previously known as the French Art, and the Baroque style in architecture. Among the most famous symbols of France there are the baguette – a long, thin loaf of bread, adored by French, a berete – cap of special from, usually worn tilted to one side. It is interesting that in France it was the men’s cap, but nowadays, both ladies and gentlemen wear it. Tour de France - professional cyclist’s race, usually held in July, is also associated with the country. France is not France without national cuisine, which is considered to be the best in the world. Croissants, crêpes, and French bread, soufflés and mousse - this is not a full list of beloved dishes of French.
