What€s Covered? Get to Know Normandy, Brittany, and the Best of Northern France:  Sculpted with cliff-lined coasts, Normandy has been home to saints and sculptors, with a dramatic past marked by Mont-St-Michel€s majestic abbey, Rouen€s towering cathedral, and the D-Day beaches. Brittany, a long arm of rocky land stretching into the Atlantic, is a place unto itself with its own language and time-defying towns such as Gauguin€s Pont-Aven and the pirate haven of St-Malo.

Although the region of Alsace-Lorraine is bordered by the Rhine and often looks and sounds German, its main sights--18th-century Nancy, medieval Strasbourg, and the lovely Route du Vine--remain proudly French. Don€t miss Champagne Country, the capital of bubbly, and the four Gothic cathedrals nearby.

No trip to France would be complete without a stop in Paris. A quayside vista that takes in the Seine, a passing boat, Notre-Dame, the Eiffel tower, and mansard roofs all in one generous sweep is enough to convince you that this is indeed the most beautiful city on Earth.

Note:  This ebook edition includes photographs and maps that will appear on black-and-white devices but are optimized for devices that support full-color images.
