UNESCO World Heritage Committee

There are currently over 800 sites which the World Heritage Committee has inscribed on the
World Heritage List.
In France you'll find more than 30 sites - all outstanding places to visit. So, if you need
some new ideas for travel goals around France, enjoy the virtual visit and
then spend about a month visiting them all.
There are at least 10 sites in France I've yet to visit, so there's more traveling to do.
And, of course, the hundreds of other sites around the world as well.
