Corso Francia is one of the main arteries of Turin, as well as, thanks to a total length of 11.75 km, the longest straight course in Europe. However, since it is divided into three different municipalities (Turin, Collegno and Rivoli, albeit without changing its name), the longest course that develops entirely in the city of Turin is instead Corso Regina Margherita, which starts from the Po and extends in a westerly direction .
Along Corso Francia, there are quite a few important and interesting buildings, such as Villa La Tesoriera, the famous Art Nouveau building Casa Fenoglio-Lafleur, Villino Raby, Casa della Vittoria, of particular interest is also the Villaggio Leumann, a working-class neighborhood built towards the end of the 19th century, with the houses, designed by the Swiss entrepreneur Napoleone Leumann, symbol of that distant industrial era.
In recent addition, the skyscraper, Grattacielo Intesa San Paolo can be seen on one side through the small streets adjacent to Corso Francia.
