In Western Europe we have the country of France, linked to the UK via the Channel Tunnel, hopping on the Eurostar is a quick way to get there.
As one of the founding members of the European Union and 82 million tourists visiting every year, it is the most visited country in the world.
If you do choose to explore France, here is a taster of some of the things you can see.
We're going on a Fly-Drive to the South of France and exploring a few of the cities here.
Carcassonne: We start our journey by landing in Carcassonne.
Pick up your car hire from the airport and go straight to the city.
Possibly one of the most beautiful cities in France, Carcassonne is only one hour from Toulouse and is definite must stop for any traveller and lover of history.
This stunning completely fortified French town has been on the UNESCO World Heritage Site list since 1997.
See it during the day, or at night, both are so mesmerising! The fort itself consists of 53 towers and a double ring of ramparts.
You are very likely to spend a day enjoying exploring this city.
Narbonne: Drive on over to Narbonne which is forty five minutes away, 60.
3km (37.
4miles), this city used to be a port but is now further away from the Mediterranean Sea and the change in the course of the River Aude.
Stop and visit Narbonne Cathedral, built in 1272 which towers over the city, or stop off at the beach and enjoy a relaxing day in the sunshine or head into the city centre and explore the remains of the Via Domitia, the first Roman road built in Gaul.
Agde: The small town of Agde is 51.
5km (32miles) away, taking 45 minutes from Narbonne.
It used to be a Greek colony in the 55th century.
Most of the building here are built from Black Basalt which gives the town a very unique architecture.
Enjoy this quirky town and have a coffee by the Fountain of the Republic in the town centre or walk around the old Amphitrite statue, The Sea Goddess by the river.
Montpellier: Our last stop is Montpellier, an hour's drive away 61.
6km (38.
3miles).
This lively city has some great attractions, the main being the Place de Comedie with sights such as the fountain that was moved here after a fire called Three Graces and the Oprea Comedie building.
There is also a small park where you can enjoy some quiet time and reflect on your holiday.
A must see attraction is the oldest botanical garden in France, founded in 1593, the Jardin des plantes de Montpellier, 4.
5 hectares of free roaming gardens of all kinds of plants and trees.
Then sadly, take yourself to Montpellier Airport, drop your car rental off, wipe the tears and fly home.
A great tip on the way is to send yourself and your family a postcard reminding yourself of the great things you have seen, so you have a wonderful memory from each place you have visited.
You can cover a lot in a Fly-Drive by picking up a car hire in France at different locations, but you also must remember to plan ahead, plan your stops and overnight stays as well as account for food to make this one hell of a great trip!
