France travel guide

France seduces travellers with its unfalteringly familiar culture, woven around cafe terraces, vil-lage-square markets and lace-curtained bistros with their plat du jour (dish of the day) chalked on the board.

Grab a café crème at a Parisian sidewalk cafe, take in glacial panoramas above Chamonix and explore the Champagne-soaked city of Reims.

Coverage Includes: Paris, Lille, Flanders, the Somme, Normandy, Brittany, Champagne, Alsace, Lorraine, the Loire Valley, Burgundy, Lyon, the French Alps, Basque Country, the Pyrenees, Languedoc-Roussillon, Provence, Corsica and more
