Entrée to France & the French
France has cast its spell on countless travellers, earning it the reputation as the most popular destination in Europe. Its irresistible appeal lies in the diversity and accessibility of its attractions: whether they be natural, historical or cultural.
Some are drawn to the rugged coastlines of the Atlantic in the north with its historic war sites; ancient stone menhirs and dolmens; and misty memories of King Arthur and folklore. Others favour Provence in the south, with its warm, vibrant colours and sandy beaches, washed by the Mediterranean. Steeped in history as it is, France beckons many to the magnificent châteaux of the Loire region, testimony to a fascinating past and in stark contrast to the charming rural villages with their narrow, cobbled streets, shuttered houses and lively marketplaces.
In a country whose wine and food are legendary, it would be unforgivable not to visit Champagne, Burgundy, Beaujolais (in the east) or Bordeaux (in the west) .... and, of course, savouring the culinary delights of the distinctive regional dishes wherever you go is mandatory. In Paris, between visits to see the works of the Great Masters, there may even be time to explore the wonderful world of haute couture, perfume and a little self-indulgent shopping.

Highlight of the Month - Le Château d’Etoges, Champagne
Just 90 minutes drive from Paris, Le Château d’Etoges is a beautiful17th Century castle in the heart of the Champagne. Beyond the history, the Château’s restaurant offers superb fine dining, set amidst the vineyards that produce some of the world’s most famous champagnes. In nearby Epernay and Reims there are tastings and tours of the extensive cellars of such champagne houses as Moet & Chandon, Mercier, Veuve Cliquot, Taittinger, Pommery, etc.
The Château offers the opportunity for those who are time limited, to escape the city and enjoy château life and the occasional drop of champagne. It is also accessible by train to Epernay and then a taxi.
There is a range of accommodation options and dining packages available, and for French Collection clients, there is of course our “bonus” arrangements. Your hosts can organise a range of tours to suit your needs.
This is without doubt, one of our favourite places and indulgences in France.
