France: The Cultural Centre of Europe

March 23rd, 2008 · No Comments

A country blessed with 1500 miles of coastline. Boarder to the Mediterranean in the South, the Atlantic Ocean to the west and the English Channel to the north, it is needless to say that millions of tourists enjoy these beaches each year.

A country blessed by natural beauty. From the spellbinding, natural north, through the centre of the Loire valley and the Burgundy region, to the peaks of the Alps and de Pyrenees, and the shores of the Aquitaine region, everywhere there’s this astonishing nature to be discovered.

From the Champagne region, through Burgundy, Loire valley to Bordeaux and then back east through the Rhone valley to Languedoc-Roussillon there are the finest wines to be discovered.
Still … it’s Paris that is most representative for this country’s beauty . Paris with its monuments and museums supplies a rich cultural and touristic offer.

Places to visit: the “Notre-Dame”, the “Sacré Coeur”, the “Eiffel Tower”, the museum “Invalides”( where amongst others Napoleon is buried). The historical axis, looking west from the Louvre museum through the Tuileries Gardens over the Champs-Élysées to the “Arc des Triomphe”, makes a beautiful walk through the city centre.
