Tourism in France image:josselin.750pix.jpg|thumb|250px|Chateau of Josselin, in Brittany, France. France attracts more than 60 million tourists every year, making it the most popular tourist destination in the world. Recently however, its popularity has been diminishing with the increased convenience of cheaper countries in eastern Europe. France is one of the classics among tourist countries. It offers mountain ranges, coastlines like in Brittany or along the Mediterranean Sea, cities with a rich cultural heritage, châteaux and castles like palace of Versailles|Versailles, countryside, vineyards in Burgundy, and the city of Paris with the Louvre, boulevards, the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe and Notre-Dame de Paris|cathedral of Notre-Dame. In the eastern parts of France there are skiing resorts in the Alps. Other notable cities are Avignon with the Popes' palace, Arles, Aix-en-Provence, Marseille, Nice, Orléans on the Loire River, Toulouse on the Garonne, Strasbourg on the border with Tourism in Germany|Germany, and Lyon. France's tourist industry, however, is not limited to the towns and cities, Paris and the Alpine ski resorts. All over France rental accommodations and hotels are available. For example, the English like to spend their summers in the Périgord|Dordogne valley, the Spanish vacation in Biarritz and St Jean de Luz on the Basque, and the Irish often visit Lourdes. France offers a high-speed train service called TGV (''train à grande vitesse'') as well as regional services, both operated by the SNCF.
