Au Pays des Reves

Appart from Australia, France has become my second home.
After the great exodus from Mauritius most of my family left for France, thus always giving me a place to stay in such an beautiful country.

I go every few years to visit family but ive also done much of my school and university studies in France. I have learnt to adapt to the country but i am by no means an expert. I guess in many regards, France is like a human, it is complicated and has many layers. You cant look at one aspect of france and say. This is France. It is such a country that you will spend your entire lives visiting and only touch the surface on what it truly has offer.

Ive tried to make as consise tips as possible. However i can only mention on what i have experienced and the places i have seen. I hope those that read this get the opportunity to see much more of France that what i have.

One love

Hi Max... wondering if you have spent time west of Paris? I've been researching Anjou region. Guess I'd better learn the language before I dare to go.

Thoroughly enjoyed all your tips on France... and you are right about the language: "Swearing in French is like wiping your a*se with silk" (from the Matrix) - Greetings from Dubai! Jess :-)

Thanks for visiting my Chamonix page the other day. How did you manage to take that superb photo of the Mt-St. Michel? By the way, your "Tour de France" is very interesting!
