With many vineyards in the peripheral of the city, it is no surprise that Lyon has some of the best wines in town. You can&#8217;t miss the magnificent Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourviere located on top of Fourviere Hill, a rival to the basilica in Paris. Fortunately, Lyon has many other hidden gems that you can&#8217;t find in Paris like secret passageways and colourful, realistic murals.<\/p>\n<p>If you are travelling to France during winter, don&#8217;t miss out the Festival of Lights at Lyon, happening between 7 and 10 December. As you walk around Lyon at night, you will see lots of candles and small lights on the windowsills of every household across the city. You will be pleasantly surprised by many creative and colourful light installations at every corner of the town.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffcb00; font-size: 14pt;\"><span style=\"color: #0fadd1;\">[icon name=&#8221;suitcase&#8221; class=&#8221;&#8221; unprefixed_class=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/Lyon-Hotels-Hotel-Le-Royal-Lyon-MGallery-By-Sofitel.h445229.Hotel-Information?exp_dp=&amp;exp_cur=&amp;exp_partner=1D_V2&amp;exp_ts=1527067446568\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hotel Le Royal Lyon MGallery by Sofitel<\/a> is a good option to stay in Lyon.

Find your favourite wine and arrange a visit to its wineries in Bordeaux. You will not want to miss the opportunity of exploring the chateaux, vineyard and barrelhouse to get a glimpse of Bordeaux wine.<\/p>\n<p>Although most people visit Bordeaux during harvest time (August &#8211; October), very few chateaux will entertain your request to visit them. Go there just after the harvest period to get the best experience of Bordeaux. It&#8217;s always a great idea to arrange your visit with the chateaux in advance so that you won&#8217;t get disappointed.<\/p>\n<p>Besides the wineries, there are many other iconic sights of Bordeaux such as Place de la Bourse, which is the city&#8217;s most important square. Enjoy the view of the square at night where the flickering soft lights make the ambience more elegant and romantic.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-23419\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Bordeaux-2-1024x576-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffcb00; font-size: 14pt;\"><span style=\"color: #0fadd1;\">[icon name=&#8221;suitcase&#8221; class=&#8221;&#8221; unprefixed_class=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffcb00; font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/Bordeaux-Hotels-Quality-Hotel-Bordeaux-Centre.h25249.Hotel-Information?exp_dp=&amp;exp_cur=&amp;exp_partner=1D_V2&amp;exp_ts=1527069156578\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Quality Hotel Bordeaux Centre<\/a> is a good place to stay at in the city, as it is a 5-minute walk from Place de la Bourse and the Parliament Square.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11657 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/paris-divider.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"58\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Marseille: Enjoy the Insta-worthy view from the Calanques<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-23424\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Marseille-1-1024x576-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you are looking for a spring-summer destination in France, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/Marseille.d179895.Destination-Travel-Guides\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Marseille<\/a> is your definite answer. The beautiful Calanques along the south-east coast of Marseille is a well-known tourist attraction that you shouldn&#8217;t miss.<\/p>\n<p>The turquoise sea water, the rugged cliff and the sparse vegetation make a spectacular sight to behold. However, the blistering summer in France poses fire risks to the Calanques, so make sure you travel there towards the end of spring or in the early period of summer to avoid closure.<\/p>\n<p>The Notre-Dame de la Garde is the city&#8217;s most iconic symbol, a Catholic basilica perched on the highest point of Marseille.

The city may be popular among tourists during summer, but in my opinion, the best time to visit Strasbourg is during winter. Spend your night with a glass of hot wine and some bredele from the Christkindelsm\u00e4rik at Place Broglie.<\/p>\n<p>As you explore the historic city centre Grande Ile at night, you will see plenty of fairy lights and colourful decorations along the street.
