France, a modern European state and a republic, is one of the world's major economies. France has a population of over 60 million. The capital and the nation's largest city is Paris. France is divided into 22 regions, and 96 counties, known as departments. The cost of living in France is fairly similar to neighboring countries, though some things, for example supermarket food, may be more expensive. Staying in Paris can be expensive - as can staying on the Riviera, particularly during the peak tourist periods. On the other hand, fruit, wine, travel, hotels and restaurants tend to be cheaper than they are in the United Kingdom, particularly in rural areas. One of the oldest nations in Europe, France, which the Romans called Gaul, is also a country with a very rich cultural and environmental heritage. With 81.9 million foreign tourists in 2007, France is ranked as the first tourist destination in the world, ahead of Spain and the United States. France features cities of high cultural interest, from which Paris is the foremost, beaches and seaside resorts, ski resorts, and rural regions that many enjoy for their beauty and tranquility. Aside from casual tourism France attracts a lot of religious pilgrims to Lourdes, a town in the Hautes-Pyrénées département that hosts a few million tourists a year. Good transportation option is car rental, which is good choice also for travelers who don’t like organized tours. Travelers can rent a car at Toulouse airport or also at other larger airports in France. Popular tourist sites include: Eiffel Tower, Louvre Museum, Palace of Versailles, Musée d'Orsay, Centre Pompidou, Mont-Saint-Michel, Château de Chambord, Sainte-Chapelle, Château du Haut-Kœnigsbourg, Puy de Dôme, Musée Picasso and Carcassonne.
