France is a country full of activities, festivals and events that will not let you stop for a moment. Here is a list of some of the most important events you can attend during your vacation:
– Cannes Festival
Unless you’re on some of the exclusive lists that go on for weeks, you won’t be able to get into too many screenings. But, surely by going to the red carpet and waiting there for the arrival of all the artists, you will have an unforgettable day. In addition, you will have the opportunity to rest on the beach, or have a coffee in the beautiful cafes in the outdoor area.
– Nice Carnival
The Nice Carnival lasts for a few days in which the city is “invaded” by parades, concerts, theater in the alleys and many more shows. This carnival began to be celebrated during the Middle Ages and today it continues to be a very important event that few tourists should miss. While this is not the only Carnival in Europe, it is undoubtedly one of the largest.
– Beaujolais Nouveau launch
The long-awaited launch of the Beaujolais Nouveau wine, causes a party to take place every year at midnight on the third Thursday of November. There are about 120 festivals in honor of this young wine in the Beaujolais region. To truly experience this amazing annual event, visit the Beaujolais region.
– Christmas markets
France is known for its wonderful markets, but one of the best times of the year to visit is during the Christmas season. You can find wonderful handmade ornaments, gifts and even in some you will find food.
– Bastille Day
It’s like the equivalent of the Independence Day holiday in the United States. A visit anywhere in France will allow you to enjoy incredible parties, fabulous food and a lot of fun.
