How Le Figaro Presented Iran in 2017
The French newspaper described Iran as a varied destination for travelers interested in history, art, architecture and skiing. The report reflected a specific moment after the implementation of the 2015 nuclear agreement, when European travel companies were expanding Iran programs and direct air links were returning.
Among the destinations emphasized were Shiraz, Persepolis and Isfahan, alongside Tehran and ski areas in the Alborz Mountains.
