France is one of the most sought-after travel destinations. Primarily located in Western Europe, the metropolitan area of France is surrounded by the Rhine, the Atlantic Ocean, the English Channel, and the North Sea. The country is known for many things, including its food, fashion, and tourist and vacation spots, besides its history. Eiffel Tower, France’s most iconic symbol, is located in the city’s capital of Paris. The city is also home to plenty of tourist spots such as Louvre Museum, Arc de Triomphe, and Notre Dame. The French Riviera, located on the southeast coast of France, is another popular destination for those looking to soak up the sun. If you’re planning a holiday, here are some short-term rentals in France you might want to consider booking.
