France... The home of my ancesters.
I am myself a 10th generation from the Poitoux, in the West of France.

I have been to France half a dozen time and will surely go back often. Each region has its charms and differences. I hope to visit them all and go back to a few I already been.

The problem with the list of French cities available on VT is beside the big cities (Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Nice, just to name a few), the 'action' is all in between. I am wondering how to group the information I want to present here while assigning it to a city.

France must be visited region by region. I will 'vote' a city per region to be the center of a region or my anchor town.

- Reims might be used to cover the Champagne region,
- Perpignan for the Pyrénées,
- Limoges for Périgord,
- Toulouse for the Cathares region,
- St-Étienne for the Massif Central and Volcanoes,
- Aix-en-Provence for Provence,
- Tours for the Loire region,
- Strasbourg for Alsace,
- Metz for the Moselle region,
- Grenoble for the Alpes and Vercors,
- Besançon for the Juras,
- Nice for the Côte d'Azur,
- Dijon for Burgundy region,
- Bordeaux for Bordeaux region,
- Nîmes for the Rhone delta,
- etc...

Maybe I will make a Travelogue for them???

Well!!! My page looks a bit short since I made it with a lot of "Must See Activities"
Please click "More" otherwise you will miss a lot.

Bon Voyage in France.
