Welcome to France

The French make life's simplest things a palate of pleasures for the senses. Rest at a cozy sidewalk café and savor a robust Bordeaux along with a creamy brie and fresh-from-the-oven baguettes. Stroll through gardens like those that inspired Monet and Cézanne, awash with color. Listen to the powerful stillness within a Gothic cathedral or the wild excitement of a cabaret. Feast your eyes on some of the world's greatest artistic accomplishments or the seductive works of art in the local bakery window. More than a well-deserved sojourn for the soul, France is a soirée for the senses.
