French Promenade
From one corner of France to the other, see the many shades of French culture. Paris is the centre of it all—feel its significance in the stained glass of Notre Dame and the smile of the Mona Lisa. Down south, Biarritz has grown from a fishing village to a world-famous seaside resort. In Provence and the Riviera, the picturesque landscapes recall France’s artistic heritage.
