France

France has long been one of the world's favourite destinations, and it is easy to see why. Paris combines grand boulevards, world-class museums and iconic monuments, while the regions offer a striking range of landscapes: the sunny French Riviera, the lavender fields of Provence, the châteaux of the Loire Valley, the snowy peaks of the Alps and the dramatic coastlines of Brittany and Normandy. Add a celebrated cuisine and a rich cultural life, and France rewards every visit.

A destination for every kind of trip

Families enjoy the parks and attractions of Paris, the beaches of Nice and Cannes and the Alpine resorts in winter and summer. Culture lovers head for the Louvre, the Palace of Versailles, Mont-Saint-Michel and the old quarters of Lyon and Strasbourg. France is also a major centre for business, trade fairs and conferences, and many Libyan travellers come for medical treatment in its well-equipped hospitals and clinics. Halal food is easy to find in the large cities, especially Paris, Marseille and Lyon.

Getting there from Libya

France is reached by air, mainly through Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly airports, as well as Marseille, Nice and Lyon in the south.
