Explorez la France! Top 3 Destinations to Visit

Aah France…

Known as the world's most famous and frequented tourist destination, France is located in Western Europe and is home to some of the world's greatest treasures.

The nation is an appealing mix of picture-perfect scenery, cultural foibles, exceptional fashion sense, historical legacies, and, of course, gourmet delights.

France is one of the world's oldest nations in existence. It was formed in the Middle Ages by an alliance of duchies and principalities under a single king.

Today, like in those times, the state retains central power, although the country's regions have gained some autonomy in recent decades.

Paris, another world-renowned tourist destination, is France's capital city. It is one of the world's foremost cultural and commercial centers.

Known as the Ville lumière, or "city of light," Paris is now a gigantic metropolis. One of Europe's greatest conurbations, yet its historic core can still be explored on foot in one evening.

When is the Best Time to Visit France?

The optimum time to visit France would be in the spring (March-May) or fall (September-November).
When compared to the summer months, the number of tourists and the rates of accommodations would be lower throughout these seasons.
Summer in France would be congested, hot, and prohibitively costly.
Most French cities would be chilly and damp throughout the winter season, despite winter being the perfect time to visit all of France's major museums.

How to get to France from Singapore?

Major airlines departing from Changi Airport arrive at Charles de Gaulle Airport, which is located in Paris City (CDG).

The airlines mostly do not provide direct flights to Paris since it is a very long haul journey. By far, the fastest route that reaches Paris from Singapore is around a 15 hours to 17 hours trip.

What are the Major Airlines Operating to France?

The most commonly used airlines from Singapore to France are Singapore Airlines, Air France, Finnair, and many more.

If you’re taking Singapore Airlines, flight time is around 15 hours and 10 minutes from Changi Airport to Paris.

Air France operates two times weekly, and it will fly you to Paris as well. It has only one takeoff which is at 11:05 pm. This flight time is on the current updated system, and it may change in the future. The average flying hour from Changi to Paris is about 17 hours and 30 minutes.

Finnair also provides one take-off time to Paris which is at 11:35 pm. They only operate 1 to 2 times weekly. This flying trip will take around 17 hours.

And again, the flight frequency may change from time to time. You need to frequently check their system for the updated information released or updated from the company.

What are the Best Places to Visit in France?

Paris

Bonjour, Mon Ami! Paris is synonymous with culture, architecture, gastronomy, and fashion and requires no formal introduction.

The French capital's je ne sais quoi makes it a dream visit for many.

So, do you want to depart Paris 'Before Sunset,' or do you want to take our word for it and spend a 'Midnight in Paris’?

The Louvre

One of the world's best art museums with collections from great artists, including Renoir, Rodin, Picasso, Monet, and Van Gogh.

The great Louvre, excellent impressionist collections, modern and contemporary art at the Centre Pompidou, and a variety of smaller museums presenting collections in every genre conceivable.

The Eiffel Tower

The awe-inspiring wrought-iron spire of the Eiffel Tower piercing the horizon, the Arc de Triomphe is guarding the most fashionable boulevard, the Champs-Élysées, the royal Notre Dame church, lamp-lit bridges across the Seine, and art nouveau cafés spilling onto wicker-chair-lined patios.

Paris Food and Shopping Scene

Chic designer boutiques, antique shops, flagship haute couture businesses, and flea markets are at the forefront of worldwide trends, redefining style, elegance, and class.

Don't forget to try exquisite French food:

intriguing patisseries and boulangeries (bakeries),
delectable fromageries (cheese stores),
and aromatic wine shops.

Montmartre

Montmartre is a bohemian neighborhood, while the Marais is a hip neighborhood.

Tree-lined boulevards, lush green parks, and, of course, the majestic Seine. Cheese with wine. All of the aforementioned may be summed up in one word: Paris.

When is the Best Time to Go to Paris?

Summer, which lasts from June through August, is the busiest season for tourists.
The weather is nearly ideal at this time of year, with long days of sunshine.
Due to the high volume of visitors, this season is usually the most costly.

If you want to save money, you can fly from Singapore to Paris between March and May when the city appears to be reviving.

Alternatively, Autumn is a good season to come since, while the days are shorter, Paris is in full bloom, with hotels offering large discounts and specials.

Corsica

Corsica, bordered by the famed Mediterranean Sea, is the ideal example of an artistic combination of natural beauty and ancient history.

Corsican culture, intertwined with French and Italian influences, distinguishes this location as a one-of-a-kind vacation destination.

The island is endowed with an astonishing diversity of beaches and a plethora of other beautiful terrains, making it a treasure worth discovering.

A genuinely surreal Corsica combines the finest of nature and provides an experience that is unrivaled. The landscape changes shape and forms over its length and width, enveloping pure and absolute awe.

Corsica Natural Treasures

Corsica vacations are so immensely diverse, ranging from climbing and canyoning to obtaining a fantastic tan, taking a leisurely cruise, diving into the island's rich history, and savoring local specialties.

Corsica deviates from the usual French city paradigm by reinventing itself as a dynamic and revitalizing frontier.

With its own culture and set of conventions, Corsica transforms your spirit into a happier, more relaxed atmosphere. The perfume of the sea, which leaves you with a nice salty taste, adds to the airy feeling.

Corsica Night Scene to Remember

Plenty of entertaining evenings awaits you on this island, especially if you combine food, wine, and lovely Corsican music.

When is the Best Time to Go to Corsica?

May is an excellent month to visit Corsica.
With the temperature just rising and the sun shining for up to ten hours a day, the water is still too cold for swimming at this time of year.
People enjoy the weather by participating in activities such as cycling and hiking.

If you are planning to book your flights to Corsica, better be aware of its weather patterns. Corsica becomes hotter in June, making it ideal for hitting the beaches with your swimming gear.

From July through September, many people go to the beaches to unwind in the sun, making this the best season for a beach vacation.

This time of year is too hot for hiking, so travel to the villages of La Balagne or Corte in central Corsica to cool down.

Nice

Just like its name, Nice's picturesque splendor is one of the reasons why it has always drawn artists to its coasts.

It is one of France's finest beach locations, acting as a gateway to the French Riviera's Cote d'Azur.

This lovely city has everything you'd expect from a little European town, including stunning architecture and urban planning, culture and scenery that attracts artists from all over the world, and a rich history that you may get lost in.

Nice is the capital of the Cote d'Azur area, which is France's favorite beach destination.

The Promenade des Anglais

The Promenade des Anglais, a long, scenic avenue cut around the Bay of Angels, is ideal for discovering how Nice's metropolitan area and seaside beauty mix to provide one of the most appealing panoramic vistas of the French Riviera.

Musee Matisse - Cultural Centre in Western France

Nice is the ideal spot to regain your inventive, artistic eye, with a plethora of museums particularly dedicated to various subtleties and forms of art.

It is home to well-known artists such as Henri Matisse. The Musee Matisse houses a complete collection of Henri Matisse's paintings and art.

In contrast, the Musee Marc Chagall houses all of Marc Chagall's work.

Vieux Nice

The town's rich history is a unique blend of European cultures, having been created by the Greeks as a holiday resort for the aristocracy and remaining a part of Italy until the mid-nineteenth century.

Explore this legacy by wandering through Vieux Nice, the city's old town, where you will become lost in the maze of small alleyways adorned with attractive old buildings and stores, transporting you to a bygone period.

Nice Food for the Journey

Nice is also known for inventing the Salad Nicoise, a delectable blend of tomatoes, olives, eggs, and anchovies that tantalizes the senses.

Enter one of the numerous cafés here to taste some of the best pastries while watching young artists have a good time in this French cultural center.
