France was the world's most popular tourist destination in 2013, with 84.7 million foreign tourists, and the third-highest-grossing country in the world. Most tourists spend less than half as much in the United States. France has 37 UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The country's cultural capital (Paris, Toulouse, Strasbourg, Bordeaux, Lyon), beaches, ski resorts, and rural areas attract tourists, making it a great place to enjoy the beauty and tranquility of nature. Small, picturesque villages and historic hamlets are included in the "Most Beautiful Villages in France" list, as are more than two hundred "Gardens of Excellence," which are classified by the French Ministry of Culture.
