France today is one of the most modern countries in the world and is a leader among European nations. France is divided into 22 regions such as Brittany, Aquitaine, etc. the regions are divided into 96 departments. It is a large and diverse country, each region of France is very different and it would be hard to exhaust in a lifetime of visits.
Due to the relatively late industrial development France's rural areas have changed very slowly, with hundreds of villages still retaining their old houses and streets. There are large areas of woodland and undeveloped land without a house in sight. With this in mind, France is the ideal country to enjoy at a leisurely pace.
Whichever part of France you visit there is an endless choice of activities, cycling, walking, swimming, canoeing, sailing and skiing to name but a few. Golf in France is as strong as anywhere else in continental Europe with over 500 courses. France has some of the best skiing in the world, the French Alps are unsurpassed in the facilities offered and the selection of resorts available.
There are a large number of languages of France. The French language is by far the most widely spoken and the only official language of France. Several regional languages are also spoken to varying degrees. Other languages are spoken by a substantial percentage of the population due to immigration.
