City and nature

A gnarled tree, a shimmering sea, a mountain range bathed in the soft evening light. Or: a quiet road, a lively square, a stunning city skyline. Do you know places that are not just a backdrop, but claim centre stage? Whoever manages to capture that special magic has good chances of winning.

The cultural nation that lies between the Atlantic, the Western Alps and the Mediterranean is home to some 65 million people. The capital of the predominantly centrally administered republic is Paris. The democratisation of our continent began in the Seine metropolis with the French Revolution in 1789. France is traditionally viewed as a leading force in many areas such as art, literature and fashion. In addition, its architecture and nature as well as its cuisine have been responsible for ensuring that France has become one of the world's most popular holiday destinations.
