However, one glance at the list of attractions available in other destinations across France will be enough to make any visitor believe that their first visit to the country doesn't have to begin in its capital. French regions are famous for their distinct culture, traditions, cuisine, architecture and landscapes. Just south of Paris lies the picturesque Valley of the Loire, famous for its fine chateaux scattered around the charming historical towns of Orleans, Blois, Tours, Angers and Nantes. The north of the country, home to such cities as Le Havre, Brest, Rennes, Dunkerque, Calais, Arras and Lille, attracts with their austere beauty and rugged mountain peaks coated in pine woods and ever-lingering mist. To the east, the area along the border with Germany is known for its unique combination of the cultures of both countries, which can be experienced in places such as Colmar, Reims and Strasbourg, the latter of which is the site of many important European institutions.
