Nice is famous for its beautiful beachfront, Promenade des Anglais. It is also close to others famous French town such as Cannes and Saint-Tropez to its west and close to Monaco and Menton to the east if you decided to do a day trip there.

One of the oldest city in Europe, Marseille is unlike any other city that I have been to in France. The city is vibrant and colourful with an interesting mixture of old and new. From the maze-like Le Panier, to the crowded Vieux Port and the Corniche, and further extended to the Calanques, the different sides of Marseille amazed me.

Avignon, a major city in Provence, Southern France was the capital of papacy in the 14th century.  The imposing monument, 'Palais des Papes' (Papal Palace), with its surrounding ramparts and the ruined Saint Benezet Bridge over the Rhone river dominates the city.

Pont du Gard is the most famous part of a 50km long ancient Roman aqueduct which supplied water to Nimes for five centuries. If you're visiting Avignon, Nimes or Uzes, don't miss the opportunity to visit the this architectural masterpiece. It is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1985.

Uzes, City of Art and History, is a hidden gem which is located between Arles, Nimes and Avignon. Its charming medieval town is well preserved and a pleasure to explore. Uzes is the second town I visited after Nimes (25km to the southwest). 

Nimes, a city in the southern France, was once a regional capital of Ancient Rome. Today it still has some impressive Roman monuments such as the Arena of Nimes (amphitheater) and Maison Carree.  Since it is located not too far away from Avignon (about 45km) where I stayed, I decided to join a half day tour to see the city of Nimes, Uzes and Pont du Gard.

The magical tidal island of Mont Saint-Michel is one of the highlights of my trip in France. Instead of just making a day trip there, I decided to stay overnight so that I could fully appreciate its beauty at different hours.

Since I am a fan of Vincent Van Gogh, I did not want to miss the digital exhibition in Atelier des Lumieres which showcase the artist's famous works from 22 February 2019 till 5 January 2020. 

Rue Cremieux is dubbed as the most Instagrammable Street in Paris. Its pastel coloured street makes it a popular destination for social media photo, much to the residence's annoyance. 

If you want to escape the hustle and bustle of Paris city for a change, escape to Montmartre! This charming neighborhood is a pleasure to stroll around on its cobbled streets. Also, don't forget to visit the famous Basilica Sacre-Coeur which is perched on top of the hill of Montmartre while you're here.

Regardless of whether Marie Antoinette, queen of France during the French Revolution, really said "Let them eat cake." when being told that her starving peasant subjects had no bread, the Palace of Versailles has swayed the public imagination for decades due to its sheer opulence and architectural grandeur. It is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site for the past 30 years and it definitely warrants a visit while in France.
