Places to visit in France - part 1

The thing that comes to my mind when people mentioned about France is the legendary “The Three Musketeers”. The devotion, loyalty, bravery, and skills of the Musketeers in protecting the king of France make them an inspiration to all. And if ever you visit France, make sure that your tour includes a visit to The Fontainebleau Castle, which is the largest of the French Royal Castles. You will feel as though you are back in time centuries ago.

I am sure the thought of staying a night at the castle will cross your mind but that privilege is not available yet. For a place to stay, you can choose from any of the Hotels in Paris. In France the Paris Hotels offer good and affordable room price that you can choose according to your budget or preferences. The French would say it in their language and accent “Hôtels en Paris”. It is said that French is a beautiful language, associated with love and romance. It is good to learn at least a few of the French words or you might have a problem in communication with the locals.

Another place to visit in France that is worth mentioning here are the beautiful gardens. The Jardin des Plantes is the Ancient Royal Garden which contains the garden itself, the Museum of Natural History and the Menagerie. And if you are there in June, do not forget to go to Parc et Jardins de Bagatelle, a park that is known for its rose garden and the international rose contest every year in June. You will be surprised to discover its theme gardens, the iris garden, the flowered kitchen garden, the garden of perennials.

Will write more about France in other posts.
