A small continent within a continent - that is France: While the northern regions of Normandy and Brittany are characterized by rugged rocky coastlines and hilly landscapes under often overcast skies, the south invites you to the Provence or the Côte d'Azur with its soft light, sunflower fields, and glamorous seaside resorts. Not to be forgotten are the mountain bliss in the Alps and Pyrenees, the magnificent castles along the Loire, the coziness of the wine villages in Alsace, and the sound of the sea between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. However, the heart of the country - politically, culturally, and economically - is the metropolis of Paris. The book showcases the country between the Ardennes and the Pyrenees, the Alps and the Atlantic in all its facets.
