Introducing France
With coastlines on the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, France has long been a center of art and culture and, in the past centuries, a popular tourist destination. Paris, the capital of France, is home to world-class institutions like the Louvre and Musée d'Orsay, as well as the Sorbonne, established in the 13th century, and Le Cordon Bleu cooking school, founded in 1895. France’s Mediterranean coast encompasses the French Riviera, considered one of the world’s premier destinations, and including cities such as Nice and Marseille, while, further inland, cities like Bordeaux, Lyon and Toulouse offer their own distinctive history and charm.
Turkish Airlines’ France flights include direct flights to Paris, Bordeaux, Lyon, Marseille, Nice, and Toulouse. On average, flights to France from Istanbul Airport (IST) take three hours and 30 minutes.
