France is famous, not only because of the beautiful landscape and scenery, but also because it’s long and rich culture. Diverse, fascinating and exciting, visitors can enrich themselves by visiting one of the 33 UNESCO World heritage sites, or one of the many museums, castles or abbeys. For those looking for something more contemporary, there is a wide variety of dance and musical events as well.

The Club Patrimoine et Cultures of ATOUT FRANCE brings together 54 of these bodies and sites, all with the aim to promote French cultural abroad.

In total, there are more than 150 sites, representing the wealth and diversity of France: The French cultural landscape alternates between historic establishments and new architectural spaces. There is also a great range of sites– including street theatre, museums with unique collections, sculpture, photography, fashion, live performances, new media and applied arts – demonstrating the vitality and constant reinvention of culture in France.

Although the Club’s sites are spread out across France, they are easily accessed by taking advantage of the highly efficient transport network. The Club also offers information regarding accommodation, including Chateaux-Hotels and Demeure de Charme- charming holiday residences. It’s a great place to start planning a holiday.
