We have different reasons for traveling, obviously, I'm sure most of us do. Some don't like much at all, which is fine, and cheaper.
I like seeing places I never thought I'd see to get some brief impression of them. Maybe I'll go back someday, or decide I won't. Fine.
We like seeing places close to home that sound interesting and worth a day or three.
Then we like relaxing vacations, say at the beach or mountains, where we don't "do" much, but I've discovered we can do this staying at home just fine.
And we like going to France, and Europe, for the food, the experience, to see friends and cousing, etc. I'm sort of a history maven and there is a lot to see there of course.
I was quite surprised at my first visit to Omaha Beach for example, and to other similar places here and abroad.
