COVID info:   tourism in France is functioning more or less normally. Masks remain recommended in many locations, though visitors are no longer required to show proof of vaccination or recent recovery. Nobody knows how the situation will evolve, so people undertaking any kind of international travel are still advised to make sure they are protected and carry proof of vaccination or recovery on their phone or on paper.
  It should be no surprise that France is Europe's top tourist destination. It just has so much to see, and such variety .... France is so much more than just Paris. Its historic heritage is second to none in its extent and its variety – which can sometimes be a problem in itself. With so much to see, so much history, so many different rural and cultural environments, it can be a hard task for visitors to decide what to see and where to go. What is best ? And where ?
