Explore Live Cams in France

France is the largest country in the European Union, with its mainland covering about 213,000 square miles (551,695 km²) between the Atlantic, the English Channel and the Mediterranean. Its landscapes range from Alpine peaks and lavender fields to sandy beaches and vineyards, and its overseas lands stretch from the Caribbean island of St. Barthélemy to the Indian Ocean.

Its most famous natural landmark is Mont Blanc, at about 15,774 feet (4,808 m) the highest mountain in Western Europe. In Provence, the Verdon Gorge cuts a turquoise canyon up to about 2,300 feet (700 m) deep, and near Bordeaux the Dune of Pilat is the tallest sand dune in Europe. The Gallic rooster is the national symbol.

Flamingos and wild white horses live in the salt marshes of the Camargue, where the Rhône meets the sea, and Alpine ibex and marmots climb the mountain slopes. Wolves have returned to the Alps on their own, brown bears live again in the Pyrenees, and Mont-Saint-Michel rises from its tidal bay as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Did You Know? Thanks to its overseas territories scattered around the globe, France covers 12 time zones, more than any other country.
