France guide

France has an irresistible, year-round appeal boasting a landscape as diverse as it is grand in scale. From the lush green countryside and rich medieval heritage of Brittany and Normandy, to the stylish sun-drenched beach resorts of the Côte d'Azur - from the chic boulevards of Paris, to the sunlit vineyards of Bordeaux and the majestic snow capped mountains of the Alps and Pyrenees.

Superb cuisine, fine wines, historic cities, architectural treasures, glorious unspoiled countryside and fine sandy beaches are just some of the almost overwhelming number of holiday attractions that France can offer.

There's a lot to consider, and unless you are very familiar with the country you may understandably have some difficulty in deciding exactly which part will be right for you.
