| France: |
The sheer physical diversity of France would be hard to exhaust in a lifetime
of visits. The landscapes range from the fretted coasts of Brittany and the
limestone hills of Provence to the canyons of the Pyrenees and the half-moon
bays of Corsica, and from the lushly wooded valleys of the Dordogne and the
gentle fields of the Loire Valley to the glaciated peaks of the Alps. Each
region looks and feels different, has its own style of architecture, its own
characteristic food and often its own dialect.
There are all kinds of pegs on which to hang a holiday in France: a city, a
region, a river, a mountain range, gastronomy, cathedrals, chàteaux. All that
open space means there's endless scope for outdoor activities - from walking,
canoeing and cycling to skiing and sailing - but if you need more urban stimuli
- clubs, shops, fashion, movies, music - then the great cities provide them in
abundance.
