  UNESCO World Heritage
France




From the Palaeolithic age to the immediate post-war period, the French sites inscribed on the World Heritage List take us on a voyage through time, a fascinating expedition into the history of every corner of France, from Calais to Mont Perdu.

You will travel with Roman architects, the pilgrims of Santiago de Compostela, Renaissance artists, the court of Louis XIV or along the calanches of Corsica, along tropical lagoons...

 

These exceptional places have one characteristic in common: they are all of recognized universal value. Monuments, architectural ensembles, testaments to an age and a particular history, cultural or natural sites – they are all part of the heritage of humanity.
The sites are on your way or near your destination. Be sure not to miss them.
