I found France to be a frustrating place. Not because I hated it in anyway. Rather I was blown away by how much that there is to see and do in this beautiful country. This is a country that is so rich in art and culture that it boggles the mind to try to come up with an itinenary that will be satisfying. After leaving France I was so irritated by how much that I had missed that I decided that if I was going to continue to travel seriously, that I was going to have to better prepare my trips. Therefore I recommend the following if you are planning a vacation to this wonderful country. Do not attempt to see too much at once as I did. Buy a good travel guide before you go and study it thoroughly. I was not very happy with mine. Give yourself plenty of time to see what you want to see. I think if you are traveling to Europe for three weeks it best to just spend the entirety of that time in a country like France instead of whistle stopping through. What is the point of visiting five countries in three weeks if you do not actually see anything. Anyway I am eager to return to France and hope to in the not too distant future. |

| Pros: | "It offers more to do than any other country in Europe." | | Cons: | "Yes the people can be a little aloof at times." | | In A Nutshell: | "So much to see but so little time." |

I especially liked your tip on rail travel and the TGV. We used to go camping at Lake Annecy sometimes when our children were small; it really is a beautiful area. | globetrott Fri Sep 29, 2006 22:40 UTC A lot of excellent infos and wonderful pictures !
