Elsewhere the non-autoroute roads can offer quiet yet fast travel except in towns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the romanticism, chic and allure of Paris, the dazzling Cote d\u2019Azur, the wondrous relaxation of Provence, the internationally celebrated vineyards throughout to the staggering dominance of the Alps and Pyrenees mountainous regions; France is without question one of the world\u2019s most diverse and culturally rich countries that attracts millions to its land each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>France by train<\/strong><br>France is renowned for being in possession of one of the quickest and most efficient train networks in the world. Operated by the <a class=\"thirstylink\" title=\"SNCF\" href=\"https:\/\/frenchduck.com\/latest\/link\/sncf\/\">SNCF<\/a> (Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Nationale des Chemins de fer Fran\u00e7ais), the country boasts almost 32,000km of rail and also the world\u2019s fastest passenger train; the TGV, which broke the world speed record in April 2007. The <a class=\"thirstylink\" title=\"TGV\" href=\"https:\/\/frenchduck.com\/latest\/link\/tgv-2\/\">TGV<\/a> offers high speed intercity services to all major French satellite towns and offers remarkable punctuality and ideal passenger comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If travelling from the UK; France is linked to these shores by the <a class=\"thirstylink\" title=\"Eurostar\" href=\"https:\/\/frenchduck.com\/latest\/link\/eurostar\/\">Eurostar<\/a> service, with direct trains departing regularly from London St. Pancras station to Paris\u2019 Gare du Nord, Disneyland Paris, Lille, Avignon and Bourg St. Maurice, providing a gateway to the whole of mainland Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>The Metro<\/strong><\/em><br>A number of large French cities offer underground services. Most famous of course is the Paris Metro operated by the <strong>RATP<\/strong> (R\u00e9gie Autonome des Transports Parisiens) and <strong>RER<\/strong>, which serves inner city and suburban Paris. Unlike the cramped London Underground, the Paris Metro \u2013 although still busy \u2013 operates \u2018double-decker\u2019 underground trains to make for a more comfortable travelling experience. Other cities that operate underground systems are: Lille, Lyon, Marseille, Rennes and Toulouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>France by Road<\/strong><br>France is covered by almost 900,000km of road throughout the country, which is inclusive of over 12,000km of motorways and 30,500km of \u2018Routes Nationales\u2019. Unlike the UK, many major French roads and motorways are subject to toll payments. Like most built-up English settlements, French cities utilise ring roads (P\u00e9riph\u00e9riques), with the most notable being the <strong>Boulevard P\u00e9riph\u00e9rique<\/strong> of Paris \u2013 one of Europe\u2019s busiest and most congested roads which opens up to as many as eight lanes and is used by over 1 million vehicles per day. A great way to see the best of France by road is to hire a car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>France by sea<\/strong><br>Other than the most familiar port to British travellers at Calais, France boasts numerous seaports and harbours, of which the following rank as the most notable:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bayonne, Bordeaux, Boulogne, Brest, Calais, Cherbourg, Dunkerque, Fos-sur0Mer, La Rochelle, Le Havre, Lorient, Marseille, Nantes, Nice, Paris, Port-Vendres, Rouen, Saint-Nazaire, Saint-Malo, Sete, and Toulon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>France by Air<\/strong><br>The country is served by almost 500 airports, with Paris being in possession of three of these, including France\u2019s main international airport; Charles de Gaulle(CDG). International flights also fly into Orly airport to the south of the city and Beauvais Airport, which lies to the north &#8211; used by low-cost carriers such as Ryanair. There are also a number of domestic services which operate to locations all over France via the following carriers: Air France, Twin Jet, Easyjet, Hop! amongst others<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
