RV Road Trip - 100 Things to do in France 2/20

The country of France is literally filled with medieval cities, alpine villages, and glorious beaches. Vineyards and wines make it world famous, as do the many classical museums and monuments. Ancient caves with prehistoric drawings, theatres and palaces, art galleries and eclectic villages – there is something for everyone in this amazing country!

 

6. Notre-Dame de Paris

This is a medieval cathedral meaning ‘Our Lady of Paris’. It is one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture, and one of the largest church buildings in the world. Things you may see are the ‘Crown of Thorns’, one of the Holy Nails, and a piece of the true Cross. These are some of the most important artifacts in the Catholic religion.
The cathedral has some of the most well-known stained-glass windows and magnificent sculptures.
Allow a half day to see the inside, and then spend some time looking round the exterior and gardens.

 

7. The Basilica of the Sacred Heart

This is often referred to as Sacré-Cœur Basilica. You will find it located at the top of butte Montmartre, which is the highest point in Paris. The monument is both political and cultural, being known for events of the defeat of France in the Franco-Prussian war, and the public dedication to the ‘Sacred Heart’. Work first began here in 1875 and it was completed in 1914, although it was only dedicated after 1919.

 

8. The Avenue des Champs-Élysées

This street is 1.2 miles long and 230’ wide. It runs from Place de la Concorde to Place Charles de Gaulle where the Arc de Triomphe is found. The avenue is famous for luxury shops and cafes, theatres and small boutiques.
The annual bastille Day military parade takes place here. Another fact is that it is also the end of the Tour de France cycle race. It is without doubt, one of the most famous streets in the world!
Take your time – and your camera – and spend the day exploring the street, stopping for lunch at one of the many restaurants or small cafes along the way.

 

9. The Promenade de la Croisette

You will find this road in Cannes running along the shore of the Mediterranean Sea. The road is about 2 km long, and this is where the Cannes Film Festival takes place.
If shopping is what you enjoy, then head for the many expensive shops such as Gucci, Hermes, Prada, Chane, Bulgari, Louis Vuitton or Burma.
There are plenty of restaurants along the way, as well as hotels such as the Carlton and Marriott.
If money is no object, then stay a night, otherwise spend a day exploring the street.

 

10. Moulin Rouge

You will find this in the red-light district of Paris, in Pigalle. This is a very popular landmark for tourists to take pictures under the famous red windmill – it is the original one.

Stay for the evening shows of the cancan, along with many other forms of entertainment. If long legs, swirling skirts and sexy lingerie is what you want, then this is the place to be!

The shows are not cheap so be ready to spend your money. It will give you an idea of France at the turn of the century. Splurge, and treat yourself to a cigar while you watch the dancers!

You can book your tickets online for an unforgettable evening.
