FRANCE IS THE WORLD'S MOST POPULAR TOURIST DESTINATION

My online friend Kateryna really influenced and wanted me to visit France someday. We are exchanging postcards still. These are the few postcards of France she sent me.

France is the largest country in European Union and the second largest in Europe. It features cities of high cultural interest such as Bordeaux, Pont Alexandre III arch bridge, The Eiffel Tower; beaches and seaside resorts that includes an overseas department of France in the eastern Caribbean Sea called Guadeloupe and an island called Martinique; and rural regions that many enjoy for their beauty and tranquility such as the Castellet in southern France. Other popular tourist sites include Louvre Museum, Palace of Versailles, Musee d' Orsay, Arc de Triomphe, Centre Pompidou, Monte-Saint-Michel, Chateau de Chambord, Sainte-Musee Picasso, Carcassonne and more.

Camping is very common in France. However, it is forbidden to camp in woods, natural, regional and national parks, on public roads and street, on the seaside, less than 200 meters from watering place for human consumption, on natural protected sites, less than 500 meters from a protected monument, on private properties without the owner's consent and everywhere where it's forbidden by local laws. So most campsites are a little way out of the city centre and virtually cater for tents and camper Vans/Caravans too. It is convenient to rent a car, camping equipment and accessories. easyCar.com is a car hire France that offers the low cost. It is one of the in demand and leading international car rental brokers around the world.

All campsites except for a very small "farm camping" establishments must be registered with the authorities, and are officially graded using a system of stars. In coastal area, three-star and four-star campgrounds must generally be booked in advance during the months of July and August. In rural areas, outside of popular tourist spots, it is usually possible to show up unannounced, and find a place.
