France

France is a country where cafe-sitting is a culture, a meal is an almost sacred ritual, and country landscapes look like three-dimensional Monets.

You'll discover there is not one France, but many - the southern France of the Riviera; the northern France of medieval cathedrals; and central France, home to the storybook Loire Valley and the ageless poem that is Paris.
