France
France is a land of unimaginable beauty, and is synonymous with style.
Each area looks different, feels different, has its own style of
architecture and food and often its own dialect. From the wide, tree-lined
boulevards of its sophisticated and exciting capital city Paris to the
Gothic cathedrals of the north, the breathtaking
Loire Valley castles and
chateaux, the Roman monuments of the south and the
glittering Cote d’Azur
with its air of faded grandeur and romance, it is not hard to see why France
has enchanted generations of visitors.

Paris is the economic, artistic, historic, and cultural capital of
France. It is also deeply traditional, almost village-like and in parts, a
dilapidated metropolis, which houses around 2 million people. The river
Seine bisects the city, the Right Bank is home to the grand boulevards and
most monumental buildings, many dating from Haussmann's nineteenth-century
redevelopment. The Left Bank has a noticeably different feel, it has an
atmosphere of Bohemian, dissident, intellectual connotations, and it shows
in Paris' best range of bars and restaurants. The Eiffel Tower is Paris’
most famous and instantly recognizable landmark. The Champs-Elysees is the
city’s most well-known boulevard. Elegant and broad, it links Place de la
Concorde with the Arc de Triomphe.
