Exploring France
Got off the plane, booked into a room or B&B somewhere, took out your walking shoes and are ready to go? Where to go? Let's get to exploring France!
Paris? Mais Oui! (But of Course!)Of course you'll want to “do Paris”, everyone does, it's part of exploring France and what would a trip to France be without the mandatory photo of you and loved ones standing in front of the Eiffel tower? Or rather, in front of one of it's legs, since it's so very big that you have be quite far away from it to be able to capture it and you in the same photo.
Depending on your desires, interests, time frame and available cash, you'll stay in Paris for 2, 3, 4 or more days. Click here to open a window to a partner site for a Paris Travel Guide.
You must get out into the "real" France! But a trip to France which only “does Paris” is like a trip the USA for a European who only goes to New York City. Cool, but truly representative of the USA? Not really. You need to get out of the city to see France.
Like History?Good! You won't be able to get away from it.Every village has it's own historical claim to fame, whether it be in the shape of a castle (chateau), ancient church, garden or museum. Sometimes it's just a really, really old Roman road, or amphitheater.
How About Some Romance? Romance and romantic atmosphere is what this country is all about! Setting the scene with excellent food and fabulous wines, l'amour is everywhere and, of course, it's French.
There is so much to see!But everywhere has something, so whichever region you choose to invest your time in will come up with numerous possibilities.I'll mostly be concentrating on northern France since that's where I live and what I know best. In Dieppe, we have a kite festival every 2 years. It's called the Dieppe International Kite Festival, and you can read about the one that took place September 2010 here. Share Morsels of
