Many are the extraordinary French landscapes. There are countless remarkable villages and towns with an exceptional historical center.
Using superlatives to describe such a beautiful country as France is certainly not an abuse of language, as the variety and specificity of each of the 22 French regions is unique in such a small territory. "Country of Human Rights", France is a continental European country with 67.8 million inhabitants. It is the world's ninth largest economic power and covers an area of 672,051 km2.
The capital of the French Republic is the city of Paris. It is bordered by the North Sea, the English Channel, the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. It is a member of the European Union and shares its continental borders with Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland, Italy and Spain as well as the Principalities of Monaco and Andorra. This transcontinental state also has territories on the South American continent, in the Caribbean and in the Indian, Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
