France is a wonderful holiday destination. It has mountains, snow in winter (for now...), hiking in the summer, hot seaside, cool seaside, Arcadian countryside, lakes, rivers. Museums, castles, palaces, Roman ruins, Eiffel Tower... If you live in France, there are so many holidays you can take by driving for 3-4 hrs. But so many places (many of them lovely) where you can never do most of these. If you live in Iceland, for example, I don't think hot beat holidays are for you without a flight.
