I am confused about France

[Davis Ira]

Hello Friends,
I have planned to visit France at the end of this year for 3 months.
I'll go there with my family .I need to clarify few points before starting my journey .I never been to that place . So I am very worried about my journey .
1)Can any one suggest me whether that place is suitable for visitors at the time of winter or not ?
2)I have come across a website named Asiarooms.com . Is that sufficient ? or I need to use any other guide ?
3)How much time it will take to get visa ? Is it difficult to get ?
4)Wheather that time span is enough to explore France to its fullest extent?*
5)How do I arrange my full trip from begening?

Please suggest me what to do in this situation .
Your sincere comment in this regard will be helpful.

Hi Davis Ira,

I'll try and answer some of your questions.

1) It will be winter time when you visit, so you will probably be better off visiting the major cities such as Paris, Lyon, Nice etc. You could also go skiing in the French Alps.

2) A good place to start your research is the official website of the France Tourist Board (I am not yet allowed to post links so you'll have to find it on Google)

3) I have no idea how long it would take to get a visa - it depends on where you are travelling from.

4) I think in 3 months you will be able to see quite a lot of the country - France has a good and fast rail network.

Hi, to get more of a feel for the places you want to visit and see, try visting some of the expat sites (search on google). There are lots of these with very helpful, local information.

It's good that you're not traveling alone, you seem a bit confused and worried indeed. All the information you ask is available in the net! Don't be worried, traveling is a wonderful experience, it will last throughout your life.
Andy Pettefer gave you the right replies, though, but you ought to search further if you want to really enjoy your trip (curiosity is the beginning of a successful trip!)
Get a good guide, like Lonely Planet, Michelin Green Guide (in English) ... go to a bookshop and browse guides, buy the one you prefer. THis will help you and you family arrange the trip from the beginning, as you say.
And no, three months is not enough to know in depth anywhere! I am sure the town/city where you live has many hidden faces unknown to you, so let's say three months is a good start!
Bon voyage!
