RV Road Trip - 100 Things to do in France 5/20

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!

 

21. The Champ de Mars

Literally translated this means Field of Mars, and it was so named as a tribute to the Roman God of War. It is a huge public greenspace.
The lawns were at one time used as drilling grounds for the French military.
Pack a picnic basket and enjoy the beautiful gardens in the middle of the city.

 

22. Cité des Sciences et de l’Industrie

If science is what you enjoy, then this museum is the one for you! It is the biggest science museum in Europe!
Attractions here are the planetarium, a submarine (the Argonaute), an IMAX theatre, and many areas especially created for children.
Point of interest is the bioclimate façade, which comprises of three greenhouses, which were the first glass wall structures to be used without supporting frames.
Plan to spend a whole day here!

 

23. The Statue of Liberty

The original statue was presented by France to the USA in 1886, although there are three versions still in France. They are in Paris, on the Pont de Grenelle, in the Musée des Arts et Métiers, and in the Jardin du Luxembourg.
The creator was Frederic Auguste Bartholdi, and the piece in Luxembourg was said to be his working model.
Spend a day locating all three in the city.

 

24. Le Jardin du Luxembourg

The garden was created back in 1612 by the widow of King Henry IV of France at the palace. The gardens are now owned by the French Senate. They meet there frequently. There are 23 hectares of tree-lined walks, flower beds and lawns. The circular lake holds model sailboats, while the fountain – the Medici Fountain was added in 1620.

Allow a half day here, although longer if you want to explore the gardens.

 

25. Parc de préhistoire de Bretagne

You’ll find yourself coming face-to-face with prehistoric creatures like brachiosaurus, dimetrodon, archaeopteryx, and stegosaurus! In fact, there are 30 life-size collections of animals and people from those times!
The park is over 25 hectares of land, with 5 lakes. Even battle scenes are laid out to help you – and the kids – to recreate prehistoric times.
Kids will have great time learning about dinosaurs.
Take a lunch and spend the day exploring and learning about long ago.
