France by Austine

Hey guys!


Let me tell you about a place I've always wanted to visit - France. In high school, I studied the French language for 4 years and I really enjoyed the culture and the language itself! Such a beautiful looking city, what more is there to love? There's lots of life and ambiance within the streets with epic scenery. The food is definitely worth a try too! (I definitely would try snails, would you?) The history behind France is also so detailed and interesting, which is a huge reason why I want to spend some time there.

Specifically, there are 3 places I would definitely love to visit if I want to visit France.

1. Paris, France

The Eiffel Tower is the main tourist attraction in Paris, and for good reason! At 324 meters, it was the tallest man-made building (until the Chrysler building was built in 1930) in the world. Lots of couples and loved ones always take photos in front of this magnificent piece of artwork and I am definitely going to visit here some day.

Along with the Eiffel Tower, there are also some really amazing shows including Fashion Week, which is widely popular around the world. Click the following link to find out some more fun facts about Paris!

2. Nice, France

Beaches! Sun! Ice cream! Nude beaches! Does this all sound enticing to you? (Perhaps not the last one, but you never know) Nice is filled with glorious sunshine and friendly locals (according to online reviews) which is something I am very, very fond of. I am a beach person myself so I am incredibly keen to visit this place.

3. Lyon, France

Lyon is known for its' history and fashion scene. So here, I would definitely want to go shopping and see the historical buildings. It also has many lovely cafes where you can sit down (or take a break from shopping). It's a highly regarded neighbourhood and is the final place I'd like to visit, when I visit France.

As unfortunate it is to say, this will be my final post for this project for ISYS100 in 2015. I've had a blast writing these articles and I hope you liked them too.
Thanks for your time, 
Austine
