France is the number one tourism destination in the world - ahead of Spain and the United States - and it has been for decades. 2019 saw nearly 90 million people visit the country. The aim had been 100 million tourists by 2020 but then the pandemic hit. After several tough years, the sector is making a comeback. What’s the future of France’s travel trade look like? How can the country avoid being a victim of its success and welcome tourists in a sustainable way? In this episode of French Connections Plus, Florence Villeminot and Genie Godula take a snapshot of France’s thriving tourism industry.

    While a lot of English hate to admit it, France really does have it all, depending on where you go: historic towns, outstanding natural scenery, and excellent weather.

    France do have beautiful cities and wonderful cuisines. Tell the French to be more welcoming to tourists and do not be too rude if they do not know the custom or the language.

    I am happy that the French have started to reduce the snobness. We went there 5 years ago and we asked on a info booth for info in English and he answered in French. I just left the booth and never asked for info anymore. 😅

    Hope they're all travelling by train, or they are all producing tons of CO2 getting there, then leaving again!
