| FRANCE |
|
| France will steal your heart away and leave you spellbound. Whether the romance of Paris sweeps you off your feet, or the relaxed life of Provence seduces you gently, is a question that will only be resolved by a visit. France is a place for lovers, aesthetes and gourmets. Its gastronomic centre is Lyon, where the world's finest chefs create culinary masterpieces. Champagne is the most famous wine-producing region in the world and Bordeaux's rich reds are a true delight. The French gave the world champagne and camembert, de Beauvoir and Debussy, the Tour de France and the Tour Eiffel. There's a term for their seductive lifestyle - Douce France (Sweet France) and you'll find yourself using it often. And wherever you go, you'll find the French appetite for good things, whether wine, fashion or culture. |

| France's currency is the Euro. France is three and a half hours behind India in summer and four and a half in winter. French is the national language, although English is widely spoken. |
