these are enough to make you say
ooh-la-la
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
French tourist attractions and
destinations for this list we’ve chosen
those monuments buildings or regions of
France that draw many tourists per year
as opposed to just specific cities that
are popular for tourists to visit number
10 let’s go found close to the village
of mountain yak in southwestern France
these caves showcase paintings from the
late Stone Age and are estimated to be
over 17,000 years old the subjects of
the paintings range from animals like
deer and horses to humans and varied
symbols the caves were briefly open to
the public in the mid 40s following
their discovery but this along with
environmental factors quickly took their
toll now wannabe cave explorers can
visit the facsimile that’s been
constructed for their viewing pleasure
number 9 laguage de velde all while we
could have picked the cliffs and inlets
of the Kassie
we chose the gulch to val doll for this
spot known as one of the most stunning
of its kind in europe this pristine
River Canyon runs for more than 15 miles
in southeastern France and stands out
due to the waters distinctive turquoise
green color tourists are particularly
attracted to the Valdo gorge because
it’s so close to the French Riviera and
because of the outdoor activities
available there like hiking kayaking and
rock-climbing number 8 the arena of NIEM
while it may initially remind you of the
Colosseum this Roman amphitheatre
located in the southern French city of
NIMH is a wonderful site in its own
right while the polls gaol is another
ancient Roman site to check out in
France it’s this arena built around 70
AD that grabs our attention used for
diverse events including bullfights the
arena of NIMH gives us a taste of
history while also allowing us to watch
our favorite bands
at 16,000 plus capacity has often been
used as a concert venue for acts like
Rammstein and Metallica number seven
Normandy beaches and d-day sites these
beaches in Normandy are among the most
recognizable sites of World War two and
for good reason on June 6th 1944 Allied
forces from the US Canada the UK and
others joined together to launch
Operation Overlord against the Nazis in
Western Europe the Allies ended up
winning the invasion because of their
historical importance and the d-day
museums that have been set up in the
country the area has become and remains
a popular tourist attraction number six
the French Riviera known as the kuda zoo
this coastline in Francis South East
region is one of the most popular resort
destinations in the world and it doesn’t
take a rocket scientist to see why
attracting artists writers and
celebrities as well as regular foreign
tourists the region boasts a
Mediterranean climate events like the
Cannes Film Festival and water-based
activities like yachting and cruising
its biggest city is nice though it also
surrounds the sovereign city-state of
Monaco number five the Palace of
Versailles talk about a big
transformation ves I started off as a
country village but now it’s one of
Paris’s most affluent suburbs it’s most
famous for being the site of the Palace
of Versailles a royal Chateau with
strong roots in French history as it was
a major hub for political power for
louis xiv starting in the late 1600s
it’s a grand building with multiple epic
Tomasulo or room and more with the Hall
of Mirrors being especially notable
while the palace was converted into a
museum in the mid 1830s it’s also now
used for political functions number four
Lock de Triomphe this landmark just
screams Paris one of the most famous and
mo
distinctive monuments in the city laughs
de Triomphe has got roots from both the
French Revolution and the Napoleonic
Wars and was commissioned by Napoleon
following Frances victory at Austerlitz
with its neoclassical Roman design
representations of academic sculptures
and an eternal flame accompanying the
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier it’s
definitely something not to be missed
especially if you’re near the western
end of the shah’s Alizee number three
that’s the damned Apache located in
Paris’s forth Hansie SMAW this Catholic
cathedral is one of the biggest of its
kind in the world
not only is the exterior of the
cathedral breathtaking the interior
boasts all the makings of a classic
gothic Church even the basement has a
fascinating history as it has an
archeological crypt to protect
historical ruins this is remarkable
considering the cathedral was vandalized
during the French Revolution fortunately
actions were undertaken to restore it in
the 1840s and it’s still quite a sight
to see number two the Louvre there’s not
much to say about this museum that you
haven’t already heard it’s one of the
most distinctively Parisian landmarks
and one of the most well known museums
in the world
calling Paris’s first I’ll go into small
home the massive institution houses a
collection of works ranging from
antiquities sculptures paintings and
more but it is of course most famous for
being the home of the Mona Lisa with
thousands of pieces of art it’s no
wonder the Louvre is the most visited
Museum on the planet before we unveil
our top pick here are a few honorable
mentions
number one the Eiffel Tower nothing says
Paris quite like this built in 1889 for
that year’s World’s Fair by engineer
Gustave FL it’s become not only the
world’s most visited paid Monument but
also an icon of the country standing
over 1000 feet tall the man-made
structure offers an observatory as well
as restaurants which can be reached by
stairs or an elevator
the striking landmark might be the
cheesiest place for a proposal but the
eiffel tower remains a bucket-list item

is your favorite for more entertaining
