This historic country is home to some of the world's most momentous monuments, hire a car in France, and explore these spectacular spots. Visit the capital Paris and enjoy the view from the Eiffel Tower, visit the Gothic Notre Dame Cathedral, stop off at Arc de Triomphe and enjoy the exhibitions at the Louvre. Just a short drive to the southwest is the spectacular, opulent Palace of Versailles. 225 miles to the east is the spectacular Norman medieval town of Mont Saint Michel, sitting on a rocky point that juts out into the English Channel. 600 miles away on France's Mediterranean coast is Nimes. The city was originally a Roman settlement, with the vestiges of this era remaining today, especially with the magnificently persevered Arena of Nimes.
