France - 'La Belle Vie'
Steeped in history, stewed in culture...swamped in wine. The attractions of France are countless. This might not be a cheap destination but France is the home of the bon vivant and life here can be about as good as it is likely to get.

The mere mention of 'Paris' inspires soft-focus images of romantic walks and sun-dappled terraces but among the half-million square kilometres of Metropolitan France you can find everything from Alpine meadows, to wind-swept Atlantic beaches to the flamingo-flocked wetlands of the Camargue.
