Wherever you choose to begin or end a sojourn in Europes biggest country, and however long you spend exploring youll simply be scratching the surface of this vast and varied land. Frances geography stretches from rugged coastline to seemingly infinite beaches, from bustling cities to quaint countryside villages and from a sun drenched isle to luxury mountain ski resorts.
A civilisation dating back to 50,000 BC and a history spanning Roman and Frankish invasion, wars of power and religion, a wealthy and powerful monarchy ultimately crushed by revolution, the rise of Napoleon and a new battle between monarchy and republic, and two world wars, has left the country brimming with a rich heritage. Cave paintings, castles, cathedrals and battle scars are scattered across the land, yet much of the French countryside remains untouched, and traditional rural life still flourishes.
This is a country that has inspired Monets reinvention of colour, Toulouse Lautrecs dark underbelly of Paris society, and the haunting harmonies of Debussy. It has tantalised our taste buds with foie gras and frogs legs, and captured the imagination of the worlds jet set with the resorts of St Tropez and Port Grimaud. Discover France, and rediscover the meaning of joie de vivre.
