France has seen so much history and has made many a wave. Today she stands proud and tall and is a country that one can never get out of one's system that easily. One visit to France and all one can think of is the Bechamel sauce and the ever favorite French fries. I can go on and on about french cooking but there is so much more to France then its cooking. There are so many wonderful places and palaces to visit while one is in France, like the wineries and the Rhone alps. The Rhone alps are some of the most wonderful places on earth to go to ski or just to trek. Either way,
you will certainly enjoy the panoramic view that is so readily available here. As far as the accommodation goes, there is some good news for the travellers out there. The france hotels are not that expensive and there are some really fantastic offers here especially if you travel as a family group. Next,lets explore Paris!
The city of love and lovers as Paris is always known, it is still the omnipresent Eiffel tower that gives the city its true character. This city is one of the most colorful cities in the whole of Europe and as such it is most definitely a 'must see' on every travellers itinerary. The Eiffel tower stands some 300 meters tall and was actually considered 'ugly' once upon at a time. but today, it is this tower that breathes new life into this city of love. But Paris is not all about the Eiffel tower, there are numerous places to visit while one is in France, starting from the louvre. Did you know that the Louvre was originally built to defend Paris against the Vikings? anyway it became a museum around 1793. Today it is this vast museum that houses the works of famous artists and the jewel in the crown as far as the Louvre goes is none other than the Mona lisa! The paris hotels are not that expensive and their breakfast is a meal in itself. I especially loved the french bread, it is so delicious! Next lets take a drive around Nice!
When I say Nice, think of long leisurely walks with your loved one on a very pebbly beach, then a panoramic dinner set with a full moon in the back ground and some really nice french wine and a dish that is literally to die for. That is Nice in a nutshell. There are also many Museums here that are worthwhile seeing but the one for the arts is the one that really stands out. With all sorts of modern paintings all around, one will have a very surreal experience when one is in Nice. To have some good quality fun and to unwind,one must definitely go to Nice and there are some really great nice hotels here that really go out of their way to make your stay here as pleasant as possible and the really good news is that they are all easy on the wallet. So enjoy yourself and have fun in France!
