Essential Europe Travel

France

France is one of the world’s most complex destination, as it combines sophistication with rusticity, culture with pleasure.  It is a land of contrasts.  You can go from the sea to the mountains in a couple of hours.  You can have dinner in a Michelin star restaurant or in a simple bistrot.  So get lost in France with us and discover the majestic  chateaux of the Loire Valley, the art collections of the Louvre or Musée d'Orsay, drive through the ephemeral lavender fields, climb the Eiffel Tower or simply relax on the French Riviera. We will help you discover and enjoy the many faces of France

	Dine Out: This is the most serious but also sensual business in France. Go from affordable bistrots to memorable Michelin star restaurants.
	Shop in Parisian Boutiques: This is the capital of fashion. Shop until you drop! Splurge and get the latest accessories at Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, or Christian Lacroix. Take advantage of our invitation to Galeries Lafayette fashion show.
	Pay Tribute to Fallen Heroes on Normandy's D-Day Beaches: Today you'll find only the sticky sands and wind-torn, gray-green seas of a rather chilly beach. But even if you haven't seen Saving Private Ryan or The Longest Day, you will be moved by the American cemetery and will fully understand the price that these determined soldiers paid to establish peace in Europe.
	Tour Burgundy during the Grape Gathering: witness thousands of people (armed with vintner's shears and baskets) work over the rolling hills to gather the grapes that have made the region's wines so famous. Sample the local wines in the area restaurants.
	Marvel at the Riviera's Modern-Art Museums: Since the 1890s, when Signac, Bonnard, and Matisse discovered St-Tropez, artists and their patrons have been drawn to the French Riviera. Highlights are Aix-en-Provence (Cézanne's studio), Biot (the Léger Museum), Cagnes-sur-Mer (the Museum of Modern Mediterranean Art), Cap d'Antibes (the Grimaldi Château's Picasso Museum), La Napoule (the Henry Clews Museum), and Menton (the Cocteau Museum). In addition, Nice, St-Paul-de-Vence, and St-Tropez all have impressive modern-art collections.
