FRANCE

Some say France in many ways is not just a country but a way of life. This could well be true. It has given the world its culture, cuisine, fashions and much more.  It has produced many influential artists, thinkers and scientists, and remains a prominent global cultural centre. It possesses world-class art galleries and outstanding museums; it offers everything architecturally from ancient Roman sites to Renaissance Chateaux. Its cuisine is legendary as is its wines and liqueurs.
