　　A

　　When most people think of France, they think of fine wine and cuisine, scenery and a comfortable lifestyle, which is the envy of the rest of the world. The diverse landscapes include huge mountain ranges, acres of green countryside and long stretches (一片) of coastline. Paris aside, here are our choices for three of the most beautiful places to visit in France (in no particular order)．

　　Loire Valley

　　An area of outstanding natural beauty, the Loire Valley is also known as the garden of France. The valley covers over 280km and is in the beautiful middle stretch of the Loire River in central France. It's filled with so much culturally and historically important architecture and it has earned itself a world heritage site (世界遗产地) status. As one of the most visited places in France, it's known for its large collection of fairy­tale­like castles and mansions (大厦), exceptionally beautiful landscapes and one of the most striking rivers in Europe.

　　Mont Saint­Michel

　　Second only to the Eiffel Tower as France's best loved landmark, Mont St­Michel is a rocky island connected by a causeway (堤道) to northwest France. It's a splendid sight sitting among sandbanks and powerful tides but the heritage site is the most celebrated for its Gothic­style Benedictine abbey (修道院). Directly below the abbey is a village with winding streets dotted with small houses and souvenir shops.

　　Cote d'Azur

　　Mediterranean coastline of southeast France soaked (浸透的) by the sun which is also known as the French Riviera. The wonderful place has attracted many famous visitors over the decades and its miles of beautiful coastline and blue waters easily make it one of the most beautiful places to visit in France. Also pay a visit to the stylish coastal cities of Nice, Cannes and St­Tropez all here - they still remain holiday attractions even today.
