Rennes
Country/Region: France
Rennes is a one-of-a-kind city with a youthful energy and a medieval charm. As the capital of Brittany, its unique identity is defined by narrow cobbled streets, colorful timber-framed houses, and its lively atmosphere of cafés, markets, and cultural events. Here, you can wander through the historic town, unwind in a park, or catch a concert in a tucked-away venue.

Le Mans
Country/Region: France
Although a relatively middle-sized city, Le Mans is a trademark all its own. Ask a foreigner to name three French cities and, surprisingly often, Le Mans makes the list. Since 1923, the world’s most famous endurance race has roared through Le Mans' streets day and night. With its mix of modest size and monumental history, it has a unique character that sets it apart from anywhere else.

Lyon
Country/Region: France
Lyon is a city that rewards wandering. Tucked between the Rhône and the Saône, it’s a place where Renaissance alleyways open onto lively squares, where steep hills reveal sweeping views and where every neighborhood seems to have its own rhythm. You’ll find centuries-old bouchons packed with locals at lunch, contemporary galleries hidden inside former factories and cafés where people linger for hours over a coffee and a conversation. Bring your camera and lose yourself in the mix of old charm and modern creativity.

Bordeaux
Country/Region: France
Many consider Bordeaux to be the best city in France to live in. While being human-sized and very walkable, it still offers plenty of cultural events, and possibly the highest ratio of restaurants and bars per inhabitant! Its historic centre will definitely make you slow down and feel like you’re in a picturesque village. But in the last decades the city has done a great job re-purposing old industrial harbours and military areas, transforming them into unique experiences and up-and-coming neighborhoods.

Arras
Country/Region: France
Although Arras is a small town, it has nothing to be ashamed of in comparison with the larger ones. With its two stunning Baroque squares, towering belfry and impressive citadel, Arras could easily play the open-air museum card. And yet… Behind its historic monuments lies a very lively heart. Every summer, the city vibrates to the rhythm of the Main Square Festival, one of the biggest music festivals in France. Arras isn’t just beautiful: it’s also full of surprises.

Lille
Country/Region: France
Lille has all the makings of a big city, without the excesses. You can get around on foot, by bike, or by metro, go from a museum to a cultural spot in an industrial wasteland in just a few stops, and there’s always a café to stop off at. A student city, a city of art, a city with a heart: it cultivates a warm, unpretentious atmosphere, just like its inhabitants.
