Flag of FranceFrance is made up of 13 regions which contain over 100 departments. These departments are made up of 334 ‘arrondissements’, which are towns and villages. Each of these region and departments has their own specialties, things to do and most probably cheeses. In fact France produces about 400 different kinds of cheese and each one will have local variations so there are probably thousands out there.

You can ski or snowboard in the Alps, swim in the Mediterranean, fish in the Bay of Biscay, walk and bike in the countryside for days on end or visit fabulous chateaux and palaces.
