In
France tourism is a major industry. France
is the world's leading tourist destination. Not only is it situated
at
the heart of western Europe, bordering on all the larger countries in
the region - Italy, Spain, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland and - across
the straits of Dover - the UK; it also has Europe's second busiest
airport -
Paris Charles de
Gaulle airport - and dozens more airports with international
connections.
As
a country, France offers a fabulous historic
heritage and probably the most diversified natural environment of any
country in Europe. Its tourist attractions illustrate the history of
the human race, from the prehistoric sites of Cro Magnon to
the steel and glass of the Futuroscope; they include fine vestiges of
all European civilisations, from the prehistoric megaliths of Carnac
and the Roman remains of Provence, through medieval castles and
cathedrals, to the splendours of Versailles, the nineteenth century
Eiffel Tower, or the resolute modernity of the TGV.
In addition, France has the necessary tourism
infrastructure to cope with its status as leading tourist destination -
more hotels and campsites than any other country of Europe, probably
more
gites or
holiday cottages, the best and most modern
rail network in
Europe, and a fine system of motorways linking all main towns and
cities.
