Landing in France, a sacred feeling suddenly arises which attracts you to know more about this country.
France, approximately hexagonal in shape, has a boundary on the east with Germany, Switzerland and Italy, and is bounded on the southeast by Monaco and the Mediterranean Sea; on the south are Spain and Andorra, with the Bay of Biscay on the west and the English Channel on the north as natural borders.
A series of massive mountain ranges includes the Alps, which separate France and Italy, and the Jura Mountains that delineate the Franco-Swiss border. The Rhine River, at the northeast corner of France forms the Franco-German boundary. The Pyrenees Mountains, extending along the Franco-Spanish frontier from the Mediterranean to the Bay of Biscay, forms the other mountain boundary of France.
The plains region is a projection of the great plain of Europe. The outstanding features of the plains are the river valleys. Among all the rivers, totaling more than 200 with numerous tributaries which are almost all commercially navigable, the Rhine River is the largest in terms of discharge volume.
The capital and largest city in France is Paris, which attracts many visitors every year. Marseilles is a chief port and Lyon is an industrial center famous for its textiles. Other major cities include Toulouse, an industrial and trade center; Nice, a resort; Strasbourg, a Rhine River port and industrial and commercial center; Bordeaux, a seaport and most famous for its wine.

踏進(jìn)法國的領(lǐng)土，一種神圣的感覺會(huì)油然而生。這種感覺會(huì)吸引著你更多的去了解這個(gè)國度。
法國從地圖上看近似六邊形。它東邊與德國、瑞士和意大利接壤，東南與摩納哥和地中海為鄰，南邊是西班牙和安道爾，比斯開灣和英吉利海峽則分別在西面和北面形成了天然的屏障。
連綿起伏的山脈包括阿爾卑斯山脈橫亙于法國和意大利之間，形成了一道天然國界;而侏羅山脈則延綿構(gòu)成了法國和瑞士難以逾越的國界。在法國東北角，奔涌的萊茵河形成了法國與德國天然的楚河漢界。位于在法-西邊界的比利牛斯山脈，由地中海一直延伸到比斯開灣，形成了法國的另一道山界。
法國的平原在歐洲廣袤的平原上是一個(gè)凸起，它突出的特點(diǎn)就是河流廣布?？偣灿?00多條大河和不計(jì)其數(shù)的支流，其中大部分可做商業(yè)航行。如果以流量計(jì)算，則萊茵河是法國最大的河流。
首都巴黎是最大的城市，每年吸引了無數(shù)的游客;馬賽是最大的港口，而里昂則以紡織工業(yè)著稱于世。其他的大城市大家應(yīng)當(dāng)能耳熟能詳：圖盧茲是工業(yè)及貿(mào)易中心，尼斯是著名的旅游勝地，斯特拉斯堡是萊茵河上的重要港口，也是工業(yè)和商業(yè)中心，波爾多是海港城市，它盛產(chǎn)的葡萄酒則更是名揚(yáng)天下。
還有法國的香水、香檳酒、巴黎的橋……。你想知道的更多嗎?下次我們會(huì)談到巴黎，您可以深入地了解她!
