France pictures.France has an unmistakable atmosphere which fills it from the idyllic southern stretches of the country all the way to the grand boulevards of Paris. Paris is arguably one of the most beautiful cities of the world, home to many symbols for which France (and actually Europe) is well-known everywhere: the Eiffel Tower, the Triumphal Arch, the Notre Dame, the Louvre, the Sacré Coeur, the typical French houses lining the city's avenues, and in general, the 'Parisian atmosphere'. These pictures depict Paris (often from unusual angles) and many seaside towns - both from the sunny south (including holiday resorts like Marseille and Nice) and the chilly north (D-Day landing sites and war cemeteries, fishing villages and old ports), plus Monaco (which is an independent state within the French mainland).
