France

Divided into 16 regions that reflect the diversity of France. These are based on the country's historical regions that were often defined by their geography and landscape as much as by their influence and power. Each has developed its own special flavour; its own architecture, cuisine, customs, music, dress, dialect and even language.

The chapters of this book have been divided into 16 colour-coded regions that reflect the diversity of France. These are based on the country's historical regions that were often defined by their geography and landscape as much as by their influence and power. Each has developed its own special flavour; its own architecture, cuisine, customs, music, dress, dialect and even language. The pages of the Eyewitness Travel Guide will give a taste of these areas and show you what there is to see and do. It includes information on local customs, currency, medical services, and transportation.
