FR ANCE
You may well wonder, as did François Mitterrand, how you can
govern a country with two hundred and thirty-eight 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 tastebuds with oysters and
truffles, flaky croissants and chocolate desserts.
Dreamy lavender fields, starry skies and terraced vineyards inspired
Vincent van Gogh, while the exquisite gardens of Giverny adorned
the canvasses of Claude Monet. And, as Audrey Hepburn noted,
Paris is always a good idea.
