France receives 82 million foreign tourists annually, making it the world's top destination. By itself, the Eiffel Tower brings in 6.2 million visitors per year. However, aside from the cultural value and historic past of Paris, the nation also provides beaches, beautiful landscapes and skiing.
France is of course world-famous for its cuisine and so finding a fine dining experience is a simple task whether it be anything from a simple and affordable brassier or bistro to a Michelin starred restaurant. When you get your restaurant bill, the service charges and taxes are incorporated into the total.
France is also world-renown for its wines and is a veritable paradise for wine lovers. The quality of the various wines you can discover is astounding, but try not to indulge in too much wine as French authorities are fairly strict when it comes to drivers who are over the limit. Beer is also a popular drink, especially to the north.
French hotels fall into one of four categories from 1 to 4 stars, as designated by the Ministry of Tourism. This rating is exhibited on a blue shield by the entrance to all hotels. All hotels in France must display their rating on the outside of the building by law, however don't be afraid to go in and ask about their pricing.
City centre hotels are usually quite small, so it would be advantageous to book in advance. Be sure to verify your parking procedures, particulary in the larger urban areas.
Bed and Breakfast establishments are mainly available in rural areas, where they are known as Chambres d'htes. These operate on a nightly basis, as do the motel style hotels that lie along the roadside.
If you plan to stay in France for an extended period of time you may want to consider renting a house, apartment, or a villa from a reputable travel website. This is a good option if several of you are planning to travel together.
