Throughout European history
France has been the undisputed pioneer of social revolution and cultural renaissance. An enlightened society with classic charm
France will guide your journey seamlessly through centuries of power and progress
defeats and suffering
all of which possess an essence of timelessness. Travel France in July and witness Bastille Day

The day is symbolic of the value of social freedoms and democratic governance to the French people. The main celebration takes place in Paris at the former site of the Bastille.

Go further back in time and explore the French countryside
which is rich with Roman Ruins dating up until the 5th Century. Gr้oux-les-Bains
in the south of France
is known not only for its hot springs but also for the ruins of Roman bath tubs and swimming pools that depended on these springs as a source for hot water. Aix-en-Provence is a well known town central to France's wine and art culture
but also shares a Roman past as an ancient city with two aqueducts demonstrating the technological prowess of the Roman people.

travel to the Loire Valley
a bastion of medieval castles
and have yourself a true Chโteaux experience. Many of the ancient and classical castles have rooms available for rent
