Best places to visit in France besides Paris🇫🇷
Bri
In the last few years, I've spent over 5 months in France. My situation is unique because my boyfriend is French, so I often get to explore areas of the country that other travelers might not think to visit.
Paris is certainly worth experiencing, but the rest of France has so much to offer, too! Spanning as far north as Lille and as far south as Bordeaux, this guide will give you everything you need to experience some of the best areas of France, outside of its capital.
The best part? I don't plan to stop exploring France anytime soon! I will continue to update this guide with new places as I visit them myself.
I hope this guide inspires and informs your next, or first, trip to this incredible country. Safe travels! 🧳

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Hi! I’m Bri, an American currently studying a Masters degree in Paris, France. I travel primarily in Europe, but I’ve also explored countries like Costa Rica, Guatemala and Mexico, with more to come. I had a goal of visiting 25 countries during my 25th year of life, and I just recently reached that goal🥳 with a trip to Romania.
Before moving to Paris, I was in a long distance relationship with my French boyfriend🇫🇷 for 4.5 years. When I would visit him, I was able to explore parts of France you might not typically see on social media, and plan to continue to do so now that I live here!
From the best bars🍷 in Belfast, Northern Ireland to the most beautiful beaches in Lagos, Portugal, to all of the hidden gems of France - I’ve got you covered! Hope you find my guides useful, and hope they make your next trip a little more enjoyable. 🧳
