Let’s start touring the romantic France by moving to the famous Eiffel Tower that is an emblem of the French nation, where all tourists want to be photographed and is a must-see site for any visitor. This tower is located on the banks of the Seine River in the VII District of Paris, right on the end of the Field of Mars.
This iron structure was designed by the French engineer Alexandre-Gustáve Eiffel, and it began to be built in 1887. It was inaugurated on March 31, 1889, but it was opened to the public on May 6 of that same year. It should be noted that around 250 workers participated in the construction of the Eiffel Tower.
Another wonderful place to go is the Louvre Museum, which is considered as one of the most important museums in the world; you just have to move to District I of Paris, and to look for the Louvre Palace there, since the museum is inside this one. You will surely be amazed by the beauty and majesty of the palace and the works of art that are in the Louvre Museum.
We go on touring the romantic France, and we get to l District VIII of Paris, where Concord Square is located, a beautiful square where you can enjoy unforgettable moments, and you can also observe the majesty of the Arch of Triumph, a historical monument that is a symbol of France.
From there you can walk the famous Elysian Fields, the biggest avenue in Paris with about 1880 meters in length, and it goes from the Arc of Triumph to Concord Square. But, if you also want to visit a very important church for the French, as the Sacre Coeur Basilica is, dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, you just have to go to District XVIII and ask where the Montmartre Hill is.
And at a short distance from there, in the District XIV, it is the famous Palace of Versailles, which is an old Royal residence whose construction was ordered by Louis XIV. Another place that is worth visiting is Saint-Michel Mount, a municipality that is located in the department of La Mancha, whose name is derived from the monastery dedicated to the cult of Archangel Saint Michel.
All this tour will make you enjoy wonderful walks with your loved ones, which will fill you with peace, tranquility and a feeling of transporting yourself to the past with the magnificent ancient buildings, which are historical and cultural reference for the world.
But not only Paris has spectacular places. If you go on touring the romantic France, you must go to Lyon, a city full of magic with extraordinary places that you will enjoy to the fullest. There you can visit the Notre-Dame de Fourviere Basilica, which was built between 1872 and 1896 on a beautiful hill that gives a wonderful view of the city.
On the other hand, Saint-Jean Cathedral is there, built between 1180 and 1480, which has a particular architectural style that make it stand out because the Romanesque and Gothic styles were mixed in its construction, in addition to having a astronomical clock of the fourteenth century.
On your tour of this beautiful city, you can also visit places like the convent of Santa María de La Tourette, The Old Lyon, that is a medieval and Renaissance quarter; and if you have time, go to the city of Marseilles, that since antiquity was an important commercial port which has beautiful and important tourist places, such as the Marseille Observatory, the History Museum, and especially well preserved houses with several centuries of antiquity.
But if you want to enjoy romantic evenings on beautiful beaches, France offers you a few with a particular beauty due to its location between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. Some of the beaches that we can recommend are the following:
Saint-Jean de Luz bay, which has an excellent Basque architecture, and is located near the Pyrenees and minutes from Spain; Villefranche sur Mer, just a few minutes away of Nice; La Grande Motte, that is the sandiest and the most quiet beach but with fewer tourists; Cap Ferret, near Bordeaux, which is ideal to enjoy surfing, fishing or swimming; Sete, that is a beautiful fishing village with many museums, historical and cultural buildings; and finally we recommend Argeles sur Mer, which is a very relaxed place with a picturesque village with many cafes and shops, which is very close to Spain.
