RV Road Trip - 100 Things to do in France 4/20

The country of France is literally filled with medieval cities, alpine villages, and glorious beaches. Vineyards and wines make it world famous, as do the many classical museums and monuments. Ancient caves with prehistoric drawings, theatres and palaces, art galleries and eclectic villages – there is something for everyone in this amazing country!

 

16. Centre Georges Pompidou

This is a collection of buildings housing the Public Information Library and the Museum of Modern Art, which is the largest modern art museum in Europe. Also, you will find the Centre for Music and Acoustic Research.
The centre is named after the President of France, George Pompidou, who commissioned the building in 1969.
Over 3 million people visit the museum each year while the centre itself has drawn some 180 million since 1977.
Plan to spend a full day around the area, you will find many small cafes where you can grab a bite to eat.

 

17. Palais des Papes

In English, this means ‘Papal Palace’. It is one of the largest Gothic buildings in Europe. It used to be a fortress and a palace, and is now a papal residence.
There are in fact, two buildings namely the old building, and the new Palais of Clement VI. Combined, they are the largest Gothic building of the middle ages.
There is a papal library with over 2,000 books, and it was here that Johannes Ciconia came to study.
Be prepared to spend a half day here, more if you want to look around the gardens.

 

18. Le Marais

This is also known as the Historic District in Paris. For many years it has been considered the aristocratic area of Paris. You will find many amazing buildings of historical and architectural interest here. It is a spread-out area on the Right Bank of the Seine River.
You will be able to see most things in a half a day, although there are many small cafes if you want to stay for longer.

 

19. Gorges du Verdon

You will find this in the southeast of France. It is widely considered to be one of the most beautiful areas in Europe. Also called the Grand Canyon of Verdon. The canyon is 25 km long and in areas is 700 meters deep. The turquoise colour comes from the River Verdon running through the limestone.
The river flows into the artificial lake Sainte-Croix-du-Verdon. It is very popular, and you can hire kayaks.
If rock climbing appeals to you, then this is the place to go, as the walls reach hundreds of meters high in places.

 

20. Tyne Cot Graveyard

This is the largest Commonwealth War Graveyard. It is near Ypres. The graveyard is filled with white graves, and it is the most visited cemetery in the world. Visiting this war memorial is a truly awesome experience. You will be able to place a wreath on a grave if you so wish.
The stone wall which surrounds the cemetery is the Tyne Cot Memorial to the Missing.
You will be able to locate individual cemeteries to find a specific area.
Be prepared for this to be a profound visit, and spend as long as you like there.
