Discovering France
77 mins
La Belle France - where life is a pleasure and love and art. Begin in Brittany at the ancient Mont-St.- Michel abbey, perched on a huge granite rock. Discover chic clothes, renowned artwork and graceful charm in Paris, home of the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, the Louvre and the Latin Quarter. Marvel at the colourful gardens and fanciful fountains of Versailles. Enjoy the splendor of the great chateaux of the Loire Valley. Chat with local vintners in Champagne, Burgundy and Bordeaux. Meet renowned chef Paul Bocuse at his restaurant in Collonges-au-Mont-d’Or near Lyon. Watch the bulls run at the Bayonne festival and see a bullfight at Arles’ Roman amphitheater. In sun-blessed Provence, tour the colorful port of Marseilles and the medieval papal palace at Avignon. France - there is never ending to its enchantment.
