Well, from the end of November to the end of April, travelers "storm" ski stations in France (more economical rest on the slopes of the Pyrenees than the Alps).
France: Where is Exupery's birthplace?
France has an area of 674,685 sq. km. and is a Western European state with its capital in Paris. On the southwest side, mainland France is bordered by Andorra and Spain, on the northeast - Luxembourg, Germany and Belgium, on the east - Switzerland, on the southeast - Italy and Monaco. In the northern and western parts, the country has access to the Atlantic Ocean, in the southern - to the Mediterranean Sea. France's maritime borders stretch for 5500 km.
