France is a country with a long and dramatic history. A country of unique flair and picturesque old towns, fortresses and castles and also a country of beautiful landscapes. Today, Paris is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. First established by the Celts, it was next used strategically by the Romans and then was the domain of the Sun King. Paris is not a city but a feeling of joie de vivre! Avenue des Champs-Élysées is the French metropolis’ magnificent avenue and surely one of the most beautiful in the world, with wide boulevards, shady corners and large volumes of traffic. For more than a century, the members of the French court languished in Versailles, where incredible pageantry and opulence dominated and the king celebrated in majestic style. A hundred hectares of ingenious garden design with a strict symmetry of wide star-shaped garden paths that seem to be without end. With its historic buildings, the eighty meter high granite mound of Le Mont-Saint-Michel is like something from a fairy tale. Due to its unique location and architectural splendor, this picturesque village is often referred to as the 'Wonder of the Occident'. The Emerald Coast is a world of foaming white surf and dramatic cliffs. Saint Malo is the proud and solemn “Town of Corsairs”, as the yacht harbor of today once contained pirate ships. The historic centre of Nice, Vielle Ville, has maintained its charm and boasts the most well displayed fish market on the whole Cote d'Azur and a fruit and flower market that each day offers fresh produce and satisfies all the requirements of its most demanding customers. This is a journey to many corners of France - a fascinating journey not to be missed!
