Top Visitor attractions in the UK and France
Stonehenge - Stonehenge is one of the most renowned visitor attractions in the world. This prehistoric monument was constructed around 31000BC and took an estimated 30 million hours of labour to complete. Its intended use is still unknown - some think it was built to honour the sun while others believe it to be a giant astronomical tool. Self catering cottages prove an ideal base from which to explore this and other tourist destinations in England. See our Wiltshire section for more information about short break cottages and holiday properties.
Eiffel Tower - The Eiffel Tower is perhaps France's most iconic landmark. Constructed on the Champ de Mars and overlooking the Seine River, it is the tallest building in Paris. The iron tower was completed in the late 19th century and has become the most visited monument in the world - an estimated £6 million people visit each year. Holiday cottages and villas can be rented through the agent featured above, many of which are within easy access to Paris and its diverse range of visitor attractions.
