Mysterious France

There is not a single person in the whole world who would say that they do not like to travel. Tourism is a type of recreation that appeals to absolutely everyone. Moreover, it is accessible to everyone. The cost of tours varies within different limits, and choosing a package at an affordable price is quite simple.

Any tourist who frequently travels the world falls in love with one country or another. This largely depends on the person's character. But there are countries that are worth visiting in any case, at least once in a lifetime, for example, France. The country of love, romance, world fashion, glitter, chic and beauty. Perhaps many will turn up their noses and say: "What's interesting about your France? I've been there, it's not interesting." That is not true.

Knowing the entire centuries-old history, culture and customs of this country, even without having been there, one can fall in love with it. The country of kings, intrigues, love – it is impossible not to know. How many novels have been dedicated to this!

The sights of France, like the eighth wonder of the world, are known from an early age to absolutely everyone. The great Notre Dame de Paris is famous from Hugo's novel of the same name. The symbol of France – the Eiffel Tower – a silhouette recognizable by every person. The famous cabaret Moulin Rouge, founded more than a hundred years ago, is still operating, preserving all traditions. Just imagine that you will go where people of world renown have been, and it can take your breath away. And the beautiful and majestic castles of the Loire, which keep the secrets of kings and their love intrigues.

One of them is the Château de Chenonceau. It is called the "Ladies' Castle" because the mistresses of this estate were queens and the favorite mistresses of kings. One of the most visited and beloved places of tourists from all over the world. The fairy-tale palace seems to appear to us for viewing from a foamy cloud of water. The castle is surrounded by gardens on all sides. Diane de Poitiers' garden, which is protected from the rise of water in the Cher by raised terraces. Catherine de Medici's garden, which is located in the central part of the palace. The floral design of the gardens is renewed in spring and summer and requires planting 130,000 flowers and plants.

Chenonceau is also famous for the story of the "White Queen." Louise of Lorraine, after the murder of her husband, King Henry III, plunged the entire castle into mourning and prayers. Surrounded by nuns, she lived in Chenonceau as if in a monastery. And according to the etiquette of royal mourning, she was required to wear white robes. Hence the nickname.

And all this is just a tiny fraction of the unusual beauty, magic and romanticism with which the spirit of France is saturated.
