The France is a French transatlantic ocean liner belonging to the Compagnie Générale Transatlantique, which entered service in 1912 and operated the Le Havre–New York route until 1932, with the exception of the First World War, when it served as a troop transport and hospital ship in the Mediterranean.
The only French ship to have four funnels, it was not the fastest on the North Atlantic, but it was undoubtedly the most luxurious of its time. Its decoration and spaciousness earned it the nickname "Versailles of the Seas."

History
The Grand Staircase of the First Class.
Laid down as La Picardie at the Penhoët shipyards in Saint-Nazaire, it was renamed France before its launch. In ten years, it was the fourth ocean liner put into service by the Compagnie Générale Transatlantique on the Le Havre–New York route, after La Lorraine, La Savoie, and La Provence.

She was the second ship to bear the name France within the company.
At the time, she was the largest French ocean liner, her dimensions having been dictated by those of the docks of Le Havre, and the only French liner with four funnels.
The France never officially competed for the North Atlantic speed record, the famous Blue Riband.
This was the choice of Jules Charles-Roux, who decided shortly after his arrival at the head of the Compagnie Générale Transatlantique in 1904, to abandon the Atlantic speed race due to its prohibitive cost, and instead to compete with other shipping companies by focusing on the luxury and space offered to passengers.
The power of her engines nevertheless made her the third fastest liner on the North Atlantic, after the famous Lusitania and Mauretania of the British company Cunard.
