 A place i would love to visit is the whole country of France, mostly because I'm really interested in their culture, with very rich architecture and gastronomy. I would love to visit their museums, Le Louvre, Le Petit et Le Grand Palais, Le Musée d'Orsay, Le Centre Cultural Pompidou etc. because they have some of the biggest collection on ancient and modern art in the world, works from Da Vinci, Manet, Basquiat, Gauguin, and many other I would love to see.    I wold also love to walk the streets of Paris to see the Haussmann architecture and city design, that is so characteristic of the city.   I'm also interested in the northern cities of France, I would love to visit Strasbourg, Metz, Calais, Amiens. Very ancient and beautiful cities with beautiful architecture.
