French City Guides

Paris
Paris is one of Europe’s most cosmopolitan and diverse cities – from the alleyways of the Latin Quarter to the Grands Boulevards, the city of love has something for everyone. It also hosts two of France’s largest stades in the Stade de France and the Parc des Princes. More

Lyon
France’s third-biggest city is also the self-appointed culture and cuisine capital of l’hexagone. Home to a host of famous French names, the city has also, for the past four years, been home to the French champions Olympique Lyonnais. More

Marseille
Often known as the ‘Gateway to the Orient’, Marseille is one of Europe’s most cosmopolitan. With a population of 1.23m, it is the continent’s second biggest port behind Rotterdam. However, few things are as important to the city as l’Olympique de Marseille. More

Monaco
There is no place on earth quite like Monaco. Ruled by the Grimaldi family, Crown Prince Albert took over as ruler from his father Rainier III, who died in 2005. Albert is also the most well-known supporter of the local football team, AS Monaco. More

Nantes
Situated on the Loire River, Nantes is still regarded as the Breton commercial and maritime centre and was formerly an important port for colonial expeditions, shipbuilding and trading. One of France’s most successful teams is to be found in the city, too. More

Bordeaux
When most people think of Bordeaux, they think of fine red wine. However, there is a lot more to the city than greets the palate. This Aquitaine city is becoming a favourite stopping-off spot for tourists, and with so much to offer, it’s hardly surprising. More
