France
France ratified the UNESCO World Heritage Convention on 27 June 1975. It has a strong focus on cultural sites, though it also includes notable natural and mixed properties. Common themes among French nominations include Gothic cathedrals, Romanesque architecture, historic city centers, prehistoric sites, and cultural landscapes such as vineyards and canal systems. Natural sites feature diverse mountain ranges, coastlines, and unique ecosystems.
