Viva La France!



France is the most visited country in the world. It has everything that a tourist could ask for; great food, amazing wines, beautiful beaches, interesting monuments, awesome museums, and the list could go on and on.....

Even though Paris, the City of Light, and its surroundings are the most visited, there are other regions that can also take your breath away...
In the north, Brittany and Normandie have sandy beaches and little harbour towns. Mont Saint Michel is an islet off the coast of Normandy that is home to an abbey from the 11th century that was also used as a prision during the French Revolution.



In the east, Alsace, Lorraine and Burgundy have beautiful cities such as Strasbourg and Dijon. This region is well know for its production of wines, including magnificent pinot noirs and chardonnays. At the center of France we can find the Loire Valley, with its many great castles: Angers, Chambord, Chenonceau, and its charming towns. And we can't forget to mention Chartres with its famous cathedral.

To the south; the French Riviera , Cote D'Azur, has one of the most beautiful seafronts of the Mediterranean Coast. Nice and Marseille are a top destination for visitors during summer. From Nice you can enjoy a day trip to the elite city of Monaco to test your luck on one of its famous casinos while there's a chance you can spot a celebrity.


There's no doubt that with a limited time destined to vacation and all the options available in France, it could be difficult to decide which region to visit. Rest assure that anyone you chose will have its charm and you will not be dissapointed... Bon Voyage!!!!!
