France

France pictures. France has an unmissable 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'.
The majority of these France pictures depict Paris, often from unusual angles; and the gallery also offers a small glimpse into the French riviera's quaint towns: Marseille, Nice and Monaco (the latter being an independent state within the French mainland).
