RV Road Trip - 100 Things to do in France 10/20

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!

 

46. L’Alpe d’Huez

This is a ski resort in the western Alps. The route is frequently used in the Tour de France cycle race, in fact it was used twice in one day during the race in 2013!
Plan to spend a day at least, if you like to ski, or want to cycle part of the route.
Whatever your level of skiingthere is a slope that will suit you.

 

47. Château d’If

You will find the Island of If about 1.5km offshore in the Bay of Marseille. The fortress, which later became a prison, was the setting for the novel Count of Monte Cristo.
The island only measures 3 hectares and is heavily fortified with high ramparts and gun ports, and is uninhabited.
You may arrange a boat trip from the nearby town of Marseille, allow yourself a day to do this, and then explore the town.

 

48. Pont Saint-Bénézet

You may also have heard this called Pont d’Avignon. It is a famous medieval bridge. You will find it located in the town of Avignon.
The first bridge was built in 1177 although this was destroyed forty years later.
The bridge was rebuilt with 22 stone arches, which often collapsed when the river flooded. There are four remaining arches which are thought to date back to 1345.
On the second arch, you will find the Chapel of St Nicolas, which was built in the 12th century.
While looking at the remains of the bridge will not take long, you may like to spend some time looking around the area.

 

49. Musée National Adrien Dubouché

You will find this museum in Limoges, which is the main porcelain making area in the country.
The museum holds the largest collection of Limoges porcelain in the world. You will also be able to see how the porcelain manufacture has changed over the years.
The museum is laid out so that you start the journey of manufacture at the beginning, back in the very beginning, and progressing through the ages, till present times. There is a gift shop (of course!) where you may buy a piece for yourself.
The visit should take you a half day.

 

50. Saint-Germain-des-Prés

This is an area instead of one spot. It is one of four administrative quarters of Paris.
You will find some very famous cafés including Café de Flore and Les Deux Magots, many bookstores and eclectic boutiques.
The area also houses the École des Beaux-Arts, which is a school of fine arts. There is a small museum in the studio of the painter Eugène Delacroix.
Plan on spending a full day in the area, as there are many small avenues you can explore.
