Transport to France - coaches and buses to France

When we consider what to see in France besides the obvious such as Paris or the Côte d'Azur, we have a difficult choice. The country is huge and very diverse. First of all, we have to ask ourselves what we care about most - do we want to walk on mountain trails or cliffs first, admire medieval castles and cathedrals, get to know life in the French countryside or rather warm up on Mediterranean beaches?

Before you decide to travel, answer the question of what kind of tourist you are and what you expect from a trip to France. After all, going by coach to France will give you some time to think about what you really care about.And if you have a problem, check out what we think is worth seeing in France.

1. Attractions for those who want to move back in time

Carcassonne is a small town located in the Languedoc-Roussillon region between Montpellier and Toulouse. It is famous for its medieval fortification surrounded by double walls with a row of towers. By the decision of the French government, the fortress was to be demolished in the mid-19th century. Fortunately, however, its reconstruction was undertaken, and as a result, today we can visit one of the best preserved medieval towns in near-original condition. The most valuable sights of Carcassonne are the castle and the Gothic basilica of Saint-Nazaire. In addition, it is worth poking around a bit in the narrow and picturesque streets of the town, which at one time became the set of such productions as "Guests, Guests" and "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves".

2. Attractions for theater lovers

I think everyone has heard of the Cannes Film Festival. But do we know that Avignon, known in Poland mainly for Songs, located in lavender-scented Provence, boasts not only a bridge and the Papal Palace, but also famous theater festivals. If you like various cultural shows, pantomimes, puppet, shadow or street theater, you should visit the Avignon Theater Festival and the Avignon OFF Festival at least once. This is when the city's streets are filled with ubiquitous singing and dancing, and tourists can feel part of the numerous performances.

3. Attractions for romantics seeking tranquility

Normandy is a somewhat underrated region that offers beautiful, breathtaking views of the beaches and cliffs located on the Atlantic Ocean. There we can see the remarkable 78-meter high tidal island of Mont Saint-Michel with a Benedictine abbey on top. The island is connected to mainland France by a narrow and long causeway. Normandy is also home to the worthwhile town of Giverny, where Claude Monet lived and worked. The best way to get there is by taking buses to France running to Rennes.

4. Attractions for art lovers

Aficionados of painting or sculpture will find themselves not only in the French capital, but also on the Côte d'Azur. The south of France, blue skies, exceptional light and vegetation have long attracted artists thirsty for inspiration. The capital of the French Riviera, Nice is perfect for an extended vacation combining relaxation on the beach with sightseeing in the city and its attractions. Nice is home to many museums. Especially worth a visit are the museums of Matisse and Chagall - former residents of the city - as well as the Museum of Fine Arts and the Museum of Naive Art, with works also by Polish artists such as Nikifor Krynicki and Zofia Rostad.
