Getting up high here is simple, as a housetop is frequently only a short however soak climb away, just like the precipices that are coaxing to be crossed. Set yourself up for probably the most lovely views from these seven different places around France.

Le Mont Saint-Michel

The nunnery and religious community sit on top in a gravity-challenging move while the considerable lobbies, stores and lodging all fall underneath it. Going to here shouldn’t be missed for a few reasons. One is the view from the top out into the inlet; on a sunny day guests can see for miles and miles. Make a point to look down at the encompassing town while you are up there. The second view however is really from a far distance, in the same way as other notorious structures this Norman convent is maybe significantly more delightful from a separation. At the turn of the twentieth century a French government official even went for far as to call the ocean side course by Champeaux, amongst Avraches and Granville, the “most lovely kilometer in France”. Go to this vantage point on the northeastern shore of the Mont Saint-Michel Bay for a view that makes this resemble a mansion hapless in the ocean.

Basilique de la Madeleine

For visitors hoping to consolidate an unbelievable view with a consecrated ordeal, try to head the Basilique Ste-Madeleine in Vezelay, one of the biggest Romanesque houses of worship in France. Pioneers have been climbing the slope to the Abbey of la Madeleine for a considerable length of time for the religious angle as well as we envision for the mind blowing sees that anticipate guests at the top. Beneath extending are the green, blue and dim slopes of Burgundy, flooding with vineyards, streams and backwoods that sprawl out similarly as the eye can see. If you happen to visit during summer or winter solstice, a special view awaits you as the church was designed so that on midday on each solstice, nine pools of sunlight fall upon the exact center of the nave, forming a path of light leading to the altar.

The Eiffel Tower

Nothing screams France more than the Eiffel Tower, and it essentially wouldn’t be a rundown of wonderful perspectives without including this lofty looking building. It is apparently impeccable from each edge and we propose seeing it at both day and night. At night there is no better perspective of it from a vessel on the Seine, when the tower shines both above Paris and in its appearance in the waterway, helped by the shimmering lights that it procrastinates on for five minutes consistently. The view from the Eiffel Tower additionally merits extraordinary acknowledgment. The third stage has one of the best perspectives over Paris, extending around 70km on a sunny morning, the distance to the edges of the capital. On the off chance that you need better detail of the city itself, make a beeline for the second stage where you will see the majority of the city’s most popular landmarks.

Not everywhere the guidebook suggests to go is a winner. Here are eight of the most disappointing tourist attractions out there.

1.Four Corners Monument – USA

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Borders are effectively just made-up lines someone drew on a map once upon a time, so a monument recognising the point where four states of the US (Arizona, Utah, New Mexico and Colorado) meet, really isn’t that enthralling.

It becomes all the more underwhelming when you actually get a glimpse of the spot. Quite frankly, there’s nothing there. One stone slab in the ground marks the point, with a carpark and a toilet the only other constructs visible. Thrilling.

2.Carnival – RioCarnival_in_Rio_de_Janeiro

The bright lights and buzzing atmosphere might seem like endless fun at first, but after four days of the same few songs blasting out across the city you feel more akin to a psyche ward patient than a party goer.

There’s only so much partying most people can do, so unless you have a bizarre limitless store of energy – and don’t mind repetitive and ungodly loud samba music – you might want to give this a miss.

3.Mona Lisa – Paris

The Mona Lisa itself is as well-crafted as you’ve heard, but the real issue here is trying to get a glimpse of it among the thralls of tourists inside the Louvre.

If you don’t mind spending quite literally hours to get a 10-20 second shot of the world’s most famous painting, then you’ll be fine. However, if you’re like most people and don’t want sweaty people rubbing up against you, then it might be worth avoiding.

4.Prague – the Czech Republicprague-162550_960_720

Prague is slowly becoming something of a Mecca for hipsters, with any creative person who considers themselves an artist or a writer flocking to the Czech capital over the past few years.

That means the city has become woefully overcrowded, with the pretty, but not breath-taking or particularly unique, architecture of the area unable to justify such a cram.

5.The Leaning Tower of Pisa – Italy

“Hey, look; I’m pretending to hold up this massive tower by brute strength alone! Get a photo!” It was all fun and games at first, but now we’re bordering on unbearable levels of cringe.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is a perfectly nice building that happens to rest slightly askew, because the foundations were placed in soft ground. That’s about it. The insane numbers of tourists that crowd the place on a daily basis do not justify the hype.

6.Stonehenge – UK

It’s a similar story for Stonehenge. While these Neolithic rocks are interesting from a wider perspective (how did they get there? Why did people carve them? etc.), the actual site isn’t all that fascinating.

With restrictions placed on approaching the rocks themselves, you’re literally just walking in a circle roughly 100 metres away from them at all times. Why not just hop down the local park and climb on some equally interesting (albeit newer) stones?

7.The Red Light District – Amsterdam

I’m not really sure why some people feel this should be a popular tourist destination in the first place, yet, bizarrely, they do.

Perhaps unsurprisingly this haven of debauchery possesses no end of smut, with drunken stag parties, the stench of urine and unsavoury sights through bedroom windows (you know what I’m talking about) the norm. Fun, fun, fun.

8.London Eye – UKLondon-Eye-2009

In principle the London Eye is a great concept. A bird’s eye view of one of the grandest cities in the world is certainly not something to criticise.

However, the problem lies in the fact that the process takes quite a long time and doesn’t offer you that much of a different view from the midpoint through to the end. That and the fact it is for all intents and purposes just a giant Ferris wheel.

Those are eight of the most overrated destinations in the world. Have you been to any?
