Europe on a Shoestring - France (PDF Chapter) Lonely Planet
Few countries provoke such passion as La Belle France. Love it or loathe it, everyone has their own opinion about this Gallic goliath. Snooty, sexy, superior, chic, infuriating, arrogant, officious and inspired in equal measures, it’s a culinary trendsetter, artistic pioneer and cultural icon.
