France for Tourists

France for Tourists

What can we say about France that has not been said more than a

hundred times before? When we talk about what France means to us, we

can only speak for ourselves in describing our individual experiences

and opinions of this country. When you depart from a country of

France’s calibre to return home, you miss the unique flavours of the

village markets, the culinary skills of French chefs, the scents on

the air and the pride in the professional service in the cafés and

restaurants. A country with a suspected lower standard of living than

ours provides a much higher quality of service in all aspects of its

trade.

Many people living outside of France would be surprised at how people

in parts of France share our opinions on matters such as the crazy and

undesirable driving skills of those who live in the cities, and whom

we have all experienced. These people who live in the relaxed

provinces, lead for the most part, a prescribed and traditional

lifestyle.

The elegant expensive cities of France such as the world-renowned

capitol Paris and the famous Monte Carlo offer endless opportunities

for those who enjoy a look in the shops or a flutter in the casinos.

The Provinces however, offer the chance to escape the liveliness of

these cities, and is what makes France such a unique country with its

massive range of environments and societies.

There is a tradition ingrained deeply in the French people. Manners

are considered highly important in this country and are said to be the

glue that keeps the inevitable friction between citizens at a minimum.

The manners are such a daily ritual that when you walk into a shop and

if you don’t “Bonjour!” a Monsieur or Madammes, your service will not

be the same.

France is a country bursting at the edges with cultural history,

stunning landscapes, beautiful coastlines, and panoramic mountain

ranges. Whether your looking for serene and picturesque rural villages

secluded in the heart and depths of France, or the liveliness,
