Vive la France and its bevy of beautiful locales. Whether it’s the Gothic architecture of Paris (such as the newly reconstructed Notre Dame Cathedral) or the lavender fields of Provence, there is no shortage of sights that will leave even the most jaded of travelers speechless. A venture to the country’s Mediterranean coast is also a summertime must, as beaches along the French Riviera attract mega-yachts as beautiful as the ocean they sail on.
