The France Book

The rural idyll of the Dordogne and the South West, the Mediterranean flair of Provence, the turbulent bustle of Paris and the fresh wind sweeping the Atlantic coast – all seem to be worlds apart. And yet they are often only a day’s drive away. The stone witnesses of the past also take on manifold forms, ranging from the Roman amphitheatre in Orange and Medieval abbeys such as Fontenay and Sénanque to the fortifi cations of Carcassonne as well as romantic palaces like the Château de Chenonceau. If you look for it, you will find the happiness of travelling in every corner of France.
