You may well wonder,
as did Charles de Gaulle,
how you can govern a
country with 246 varieties
of cheese. The French
know a thing or deux
about celebrating joie
de vivre, recruiting the
expertise of the nation's
vintners and producers
of champagne. You too
may indulge your taste
buds with fresh oysters
and truffles, delectable
croissants and decadent
chocolate desserts.
In Giverny, lose yourself
in the exquisite gardens
that inspired Claude
Monet for so many years.
Admire the dreamy
lavender and sunflower
fields of Provence. Explore
the lush vineyards of the
beautiful Burgundy wine
region. And experience
history first hand in
Normandy, the site of the
famous D-Day landings.
As Audrey Hepburn noted,
Paris is always a good idea.
Known as the romance
capital of the world, take
a stroll down the famed
Champs-Élysées and marvel
at this dazzling city's iconic
landmarks, from the Eiffel
Tower to the Louvre.
