It’s easy to see why France always ranks as the world’s top tourist destination. Chateaux and cathedrals. Museums and galleries. Palaces of kings and queens, and of course, the food! With quaint cafés, fresh baguettes, renowned cheese, fine cuisine, and some of the finest wines in the world, you might want to come for the food alone. But France is so much more... Staggering coastal cliffs on one end, clear turquoise sea on the other—and in between, endless stretches of gentle pastoral countryside, dreamy rolling hills and vineyards, charming villages, breathtaking scenery, and landscapes that have inspired the most famous of paintings. For the adventurous and curious traveler, cycle, walk, mingle or simply marvel at the country that invented some of the world’s most delicious wines, savory foods, picturesque breathtaking art. At once chic and stylish, adventurous and laid back, France is filled with deep history, fine art, and rich culture. It’s tops for a lot of very good—and delicious—reasons. You will not want to say, adieu…
