]]>Here are three French regions with unique cultures that are worth exploring on your next trip to the country.
Brittany is France’s Celtic region with a wind-swept coast, rainy weather, and granite architecture that makes it something truly unique. Here, you’ll find the home of crepes, the Breton language, and a people that are fiercely proud of their one-of-a-kind identity.
The southernmost part of France, which shares a border with Spain, is a sunny, Mediterranean landscape with its own language and cultural traditions. Don’t look for crepes and baguettes here. Instead, you’ll find olive oil, foie gras, and some of the best wines on Earth.
Did you know that there’s a part of France that looks more like Germany than anything French? This border region of the country, which is located on the upper Rhine river, is the country’s most religious region and filled with timber-framed houses that evoke Bavaria more than they do France.

Mulan lived during the Chinese Han Dynasty, somewhere between 200 BC and 200 AD. Although the Forbidden City was erected 1,200 years later, it served as an example for animators to design the Emperor’s residence.
Most of the The Lion King takes place in a wide plain that’s closely reminiscent of Serengeti in Tanzania. This place is well-known as a check-point in animal migrations and, of course, for its large population of lions.
The beautiful Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria is the inspiration behind the Sleeping Beauty’s castle, which was later adapted into the famous Disney castle logo that appears at the beginning of every movie from this production.
