The Burgundy (or Bourgogne) region of France is famous for its wines, especially its renowned red "Burgundy" (pinot noir) and, to a lesser extent, its "white Burgundy" (chardonnay). Producers rely on traditional winemaking techniques going back centuries to draw out the terroir of the vine plots on the sides of the area's gentle hills.

Château de Chenonceau, spanning the River Cher in the Loire Valley, is one of France's most recognizable chateaus. A former royal residence, the manor dates back to the 16th century.

The Eiffel Tower, also known to locals as the "Iron Lady," is France's most recognizable landmark and a symbol for travelers everywhere.
