France may be one of the world’s most visited countries, but beneath its postcard charm lies a network of official tourism labels—each with a purpose, a story, and an impact on the communities that hold them. From “Les Plus Beaux Villages” to UNESCO Global Geoparks, these designations protect heritage, support local life, and shape your travel experience. Here’s how to read them—and why a good guide can help you see the life behind the label.
