Glittering cities, masterpiece-packed
museums, epicurean pleasures and
multifaceted landscapes from the
towering snow-covered Alps in the east
to the surf-pounded Atlantic coast in the
west, and the chalky cliffs of La Manche
(the English Channel) in the north to the
palm-fringed Mediterranean beaches in
the south exert a magnetic pull on trav
ellers, with France consistently ranking as
the most visited country in the world.
Appreciation of the finer things in life
extends into all corners of day-to-day
existence in France: an artistic sensibility
is overlaid on everything from food and
wine to fashion, architecture, philosophy,
cinematography and even the very act
of living itself, known as art de vivre .
This is a country that places as much
importance on bread, cheese and a
leisurely predinner apro (aperitif) as it
does on exquisite ptisseries (pastries),
Michelin-starred gastronomy and
Champagne. In every aspect of life,
the emphasis is on quality rather than
quantity, with simple rituals forming a
cherished part of the day.
This book covers a smorgasbord of
Frances most emblematic experienc
es, both traditional and contemporary,
luxurious and rustic, high adrenalin and
slow paced, celebrated and sobering,
iconic and little known. It aims to inspire
you to discover the country through what
makes its inhabitants tick, helping you
tap into the essence of French culture.
To that end, this book isnt broken up by
regions or major sights but instead by five
chapters aligned with the countrys
quintessential traits, each profiling a
different flavour and texture of France:
Innovation & Creation: Inventions,
Designs and New Opportunities
Je Ne Sais Quoi: What Makes France
So Very French
Joie de Vivre: The Key to Enjoying Life
Light & Shade: Art & Revolution,
Love & War
Out of the Blue: Unexpected &
Surprising Experiences
Within these themes, this books individu
al features examine how French life plays
out for locals and visitors. As you take a
treasure hunt through its pages, youll
find that whether youre tasting full
bodied reds in the vine-laced countryside
surrounding Bordeaux, tackling Corsicas
vertiginous GR20 hiking trail, lazing on a
sunlounger on the Cte dAzur (French
Riviera), driving past Provences fragrant
deep-purple lavender fields, sipping a
coffee on the terrace of a Parisian cafe,
roaming the corridors of stately Loire
Valley chteaux, catching a cutting-edge
design exhibition in Lille, or jostling to
buy truffles and charcuterie at a village
market deep in the Dordogne, France will
enchant, enlighten and whet your appetite
for more.
...and with that,
welcome to France

Landscapes & Journeys
From rugged peaks to rolling breakers
Above Lavender and sunflower fields , Provence
Known as LHexagone for its shape,
mainland France is Europes third-largest
country (after Russia and Ukraine) at
551,000 sq km. Its scale, its geographical
position at the crossroads of northern,
central and southern Europe, and its
varied terrain, result in a rare environmen
tal diversity for a single country: in France
its possible to surf barrelling breakers,
ski powdery, near-vertical slopes, explore
volcanic springs and perfume-producing
flower fields, hike through canyons and
forests, and boat along tranquil interior
waterways.
France is fringed by water or mountains
along every side except the northeast.
The countrys 3427km-long coastline
ranges from white-chalk cliffs and
treacherous promontories in the north
to fine-sand Atlantic beaches in the west
and pebbly Mediterranean shores in the
south. Western Europes highest peak,
Mont Blanc (4810m) crowns the French
Alps, which soar along Frances east
ern border. North of Lake Geneva, the
limestone Jura Mountains reach heights
