France Travel Guide

It is a fabled land of unmatched food and delicious wine that has inspired many to gasp in satisfied contentment, "We all have two countries—our own, and France!" But it is not just a country for those who worship at the altar of gastronomy. The sheer beauty of the rose-colored rooftops, the immaculately restored farm houses, architecture, cultivated scenery, and historic hearts give justice to the sentiment. Not to mention those glorious hidden landscapes that only those lucky few in the know ever discover. Who can resist the allure of Paris? Even the grumpy waiters have a certain charm. Especially if you can try a little bit of French-a simple "bonjour" or "parlez-vous anglais?" will take you a long way and you'll find out how quickly a surly waiter will melt if you say hello.
