Brittany
Our itinerary starts with Brittany, a beautiful, old region situated in the north-west of France, a cultural heritage from the Celtic period. This region has a distinctive culture from the others in the country and this fact is proven by the Breton language the old native people are still using in various parts of this area. The countryside is mainly characterized by simplicity, dotted by small churches. In Rennes, the capital city of Brittany, there are many monuments that are worth a visit: Musée de Bretagne, Musée des Beaux-Arts and Palais de Justice. All this places aim at preserving the typical spirit of Brittany and all the traditions and things that are strongly related to it. A well-known, traditional dish in this side of the country is the crêpe (pancake). Whether sweet or salted, the crêpe has a special flavor and it’s often considered a delicacy by the foreign visitors. The Breton cuisine is also famous for its fine, thin butter.
Normandy
Continuing our journey, we arrive in the north of France, in the so-called Normandy. This region is appreciated mostly for its exquisite gastronomic specialties. If you’re fond of dainties, you might not want to miss the chance of tasting the creamy butter and the fresh cheese prepared here. The famous camembert, liverot are the gourmand traveler’s delight. An architectural marvel located in this region is Saint’s Michel Mount. In fact, this is a tidal island which comprises a Gothic-style church that was built centuries ago, many towers and fortifications, chapels and beautiful courtyards.
Champagne
Our next stop is in the region commonly known as Champagne. As its denomination symbolically states, it’s a territory where world-renowned Pinot Noir is made and where a tremendous range of vineyards is growing. Each traveler should take a sip of a French white dry wine or champagne because it’s the finest of all choices. It is interesting to mention that in the center of Troyes, the biggest town in this area, the boulevards are arranged in the form of a champagne cork.
Paris
Travelling along and making our way towards the center of the country, we arrive in the City of Lights, Paris. The capital of France is crowded with touristic attractions. However, a meticulous traveler must not miss the Eiffel Tour, the symbol of France worldwide. It’s probably the most romantic spot in the whole country and many couples are sharing a long French kiss at its bottom. A great value day out in Paris should include: the Louvre Museum, the Arch of Triumph, Notre-Dame Cathedral and the Palace of Versailles. All these buildings are the eye-witnesses or a long series of historical happenings and admiring them is quite a thing! Bottom line is once you visited Paris, you will always want to come back.
Cote d’Azur
Our last stop is the French Riviera. This region is the perfect destination for the tourists that seek for a vacation in a mountain resort or at the seaside. On one hand, in the winter, the sport resorts in the Alps are always full. Tourists put their pair of ski on and enjoy the white fairytale snow.
On the other hand, in the hot sunny summer, the wealthy tourists decide to tan their bodies on the beaches of Cannes or Saint Tropez. These resorts are famous for their exclusive five stars hotels and astonishing landscapes.
