Holiday Ideas in France |
|
 |
| |
The outside world has always had a love affair with
France since the Romans colonised it. Most people
envisage spectacular beaches, bronzed bodies and conspicuous
wealth of the infamous Côte D'Azur, but France also
offers some of the best food in the world, picturesque
towns, ancient Roman ruins and it has inspired generations
of artists.
Few other nations of its size pack such sheer variety
of sights, scenery and culture from the unique Brittany
to the Loire Valley, rich in greenery and
grapes, the snow capped peaks of the Alps to
the east and south-west Pyrénées, the south
central Massif Central with rocks and plateaux
and the luscious south east Mediterranean coastline.
All this variety is within a day's journey of Paris,
fashion, art, style and culture epicentre.
