Carcassonne Medieval Castle France | Travel Video
When I think of France I don’t immediately think of beautiful beaches, I think of Paris. But I stand corrected because southern France has some of the most beautiful beaches on the world. There are actually a variety of beaches to please every kind of taste. France is surrounded by water, the English Channel, Atlantic Ocean, and the Mediterranean Sea.
The French Riviera is located on the eastern Mediterranean coast from Cannes to Menton. This is the France holiday you want to take if you are looking for upscale adult vacationing. The Côte d’Azur is the coast to the south and is the ideal spot for “alone time” although it can get a little crowded in some spots. It is also a great spot for surfing. Brittany on the north Atlantic coast and the surrounding area has beaches with family attractions.
Cannes
While the world famous film festival may keep tourists busy, there is no denying the beach here is fun. This is a lighthearted beach town, steeped in the arts and film. Check out the sand castles while you are on the beach. If you hunt for bargains, this can be a reasonable beach vacation.
Beach at Nice
This beach is enormously popular on the French Riviera. The actual beach is comprised of pebbles instead of sand. It is very crowded in the summer.
Menton Beach
Menton is a quaint little beach town and of all the beaches on the French Riviera, Menton’s beaches are the most family friendly. The atmosphere is much more relaxed and it isn’t the wild partying beach town that its neighbors are.
Monaco
The beaches in Monaco are upscale and are adjacent to opulent high-rise hotels and casinos. This is an adult environment and there is plenty of fun to be had sun bathing during the day and gambling at night.
Arcachon Beaches
The small town of Arcachon sits next to the Atlantic Ocean. This beach area is free of crowds except at peak time of summer vacation. If you visit this beach you must walk along the Dune du Pyla, which lies between the ocean and the largest forest in France, Les Landes. This is huge dune elevated and overlooks the Atlantic.
Biarritz Beaches
While the Biarritz beachfront was once wildly popular, in the last forty or fifty years tourists have migrated to the French Riviera to empty their wallets. While these may not the most ideal beaches, they are less crowded, have less traffic, and have less expensive accommodations. Beaches are free to visit.
Garoupe Beach – Cap d’Antibes
This is a very exclusive beach that is split off into sections some of which are free to the public. This beach faces the east so when you are on the beach the sun is not in your face. It is also sheltered from the wind and this makes it pleasant.
St. Jean de Luz St.
Jean de Luz beach is located just south of Biarritz in the town of St. Jean de Luz. This is a clean well-kept beach with a nice sea wall separating the beach from the town. The architecture of the town has been carefully preserved and the old 17th and 18th century structures are just gorgeous. This is a quiet and peaceful beach experience.
Cap d’Agde
Located next to Montpellier, Cap d’Agde is famous for their nude beaches. But apparently the tendency to divest one’s clothes may extend to the entire city. Maybe we should leave the kiddies at home.
La Rochelle
This is a quaint port town located on the Atlantic coast. The beach has shallow waters and is great for families with young children.

this american girl is reading this off of a brochure !!! hilarious !!!
if u know 100 years war and know what breizh does it means, u ll know my point of view.
You may be right but that remind me wars between France and Great Britain during the middle age and the fact that at that time, one part of Frenc territory belonged to the British King!
The cheapest way to travel all over France is to buy an international roundtrip ticket in Germany or Belgium. Fly to Stuttgart, Strasbourg or Brussels from the UK and buy the ticket at the train station. Plot your trip before you go with the help of http://www.jizdenka.cz

France has a short stay visa for visitors staying less than 90 days. The embassy website says Americans do not need to obtain a short stay visa.
To join the French Foreign Legion, you must be male, between the ages of 18 and 40 years old (17 years old with parental permission), and regardless of where you live in the world, you must present yourself with a valid passport or identity card to one of the 20 recruiting centers (PRLE-Postes de Recrutement de la Légion Etrangère) in metropolitan France. Any costs of transportation to France and the costs of a visa (if necessary) will not be provided by the French Foreign Legion or Republic of France.
Well the very cheapest way to get to France is to sign up for courier flights. Here is some information about this method of getting to Europe: http://www.fabuloustravel.com/budget/courier/courierfaq.html
There are programs for young people to stay with host families in France. If you qualify this is an excellant method for a young person.
Of course, you'll have less flexibility as to the means (and therefore costs) of getting to France with such a program.
If you are of student age then you can get by in France for remarkably little money. Stay in youth hostels and eat at the cafeterias run by CROUS (the French student organization) and your costs will be remarkably low. You can eat a full meal at a CROUS cafeteria for as little as 3 or 4 dollars.
No,
authorized travel documents between European Countries are either passports or National ID cards. Since the United Kingdom does not issue National ID cards citizens need to have a passport to travel to France.

Since your travel is flexible, I would suggest comparing prices with the many online travel websites. There are always deals, its just hard to guess which one will have the best deals! If you can do last minute travel, that can often get you a great price. Also, try a one-way there and back, sometimes that can save money over booking a round-trip. Try this website: http://www.everydaytravelconnections.com Have a great trip!
It depends on a couple of things.
If she is a legal resident of France and holds a residence permit then she can travel freely in the Schengen zone with this card and her passport combined.
I assume from the gact that you mention she is not a citizen of France that she does not have a French passport.
If she is currently on holiday in France and again it depends on her nationality.
- If she is American, Canadian, Australian or another nationality which is allowed to travel under the Visa Waiver Program, then she is free to travel to Greece so long as she will not stay in the Schengen area more than 90 days (out of any 180 days)
- if she is there on holiday with a Schengen visa, then it depends on her actual Schengen visa and how long she has been in Schengen zone. A Schengen visa MAY have restrictions (e.g. that she can only visit France or that she cannot visit Greece), and also it may state x days visit which is less than 90 days, and she will need to stick to this limit for the total visit (and not just the stay in France)
So it depends on her immigration situation and nationality which you do not mention.
It is true that there are no border controls in the Schengen area but there may be random checks on odd occasions and if travelling via an airport a passport is still required which will be verified.
EDIT – ok, based on your updated info, if she is legally residing in France with a residence permit (usually based on family reunification on the basis of her French husband) then she just needs this permit plus her passport and she can travel in the Schengen zone freely. Note: this is only for the case for the Schengen zone and not for the total EU.
Pour la promotion du tourisme en France, il faut aussi leur parler des CHEMTRAILS, n’est ce pas ?
Bien à vous.
prefer brits that musslims.

carcasson Catalan! retornez a le catalogne nord!!!!!!!!!! joking!
Now ALL our beautiful villages in France are invaded by Britons. I have nothing against Britons, but it’s like if France become an English colony!!!
The UK is not part of the Schengen Agreement, which eliminated border controls between most (but not all) E.U. countries.
Just as I finished my first comment, you were showing the beautiful town square, where I have enjoyed a wonderful meal with friends! Better than the Summer is Spring! It’s still cool, and not quite as crowded as Summer, but better than Winter! Try it… You did a very good job on your video – thanks!
Well, as far as expiry is 90 days after ur schengen stay it shouldn't be a problem. You may need to explain why do u have only six months travel document, because its not normal.
But try it, no harm trying.
Thanks for your video! Carcassonne IS one of my favorite places in France, too. I’ve been there several times, and have also slept inside the walls of “La Cite”, as well as in a bed-and-breakfast outside! Only LE MONT SAINT MICHEL tops Carcassonne! Thanks again.
