MORE REGIONS IN FRANCE

France offers many regions beyond its main wine and cultural centers, each with its own traditions, landscapes, and culinary identity. In the Loire Valley, discover Renaissance châteaux, riverfront towns, gardens, and vineyards around Amboise, Chinon, and Sancerre. The Dordogne region features medieval villages such as Sarlat, prehistoric cave sites, local markets, and scenic river valleys.  Further east, Alsace combines French and German heritage with timber-framed villages like Colmar, scenic wine routes, and distinctive regional cuisine.

Normandy, to the north, offers a compelling mix of coastal landscapes, apple orchards, cheese traditions, and history. Explore the dramatic tides of Mont-Saint-Michel, the charming port town of Honfleur, and the D-Day landing beaches near Bayeux. Taste regional specialties such as cider, Calvados, and Camembert while visiting local producers. These regions provide travelers with additional ways to experience France through authentic food traditions, cultural highlights, and varied landscapes away from the country’s most frequented destinations.
