Party!

Partyparis Viva la Resistance Party! Early on Saturday evening, you start to get that feeling - phones begin to ring, meetings are arranged. Drink an aperitif (start gently, you've got to last all night) as you listen to a band playing in the bar. You're here thanks to the local grape vine, a local newspaper or quite by chance. and the band is playing well. A bite to eat in a cheap-and-cheerful bistro or a restaurant in a trendy part of town (Bastille, Oberkampf or Pigalle in Paris, and the centre in other cities). Savour a tasty lamb stew before the real meat of the evening: it's time for a nightclub. There's something in the air, and the doorman takes his work to heart. He lets you in. Another good choice: one of the DJs of the moment is whipping up the dancefloor and the night gets going in earnest - and keeps on going! Other nightlife options include a midnight dip (preferably in the sea, and above all in summer), with sausages grilled over camp fires on the beach - this is the life! Or a mix of the two - a rave deep in the countryside. Sleep comes at last, and Sunday is already well under way !

Avignon

France_avignon_palace_of_the_popes Few pople realize that the pope's palace was relocated in the Middle Ages, the destiny was France.
The tourists can still visit the former seat of the papacy in the lovely southern city Avignon.

You can also enjoy the enchanting pedestrian shopping zones and the fabulous restaurants that there live. The narrow alleys open onto expansive plazas .

As the almost-constant sunshine warms you, wander the streets, popping into shops, stopping for a coffee or perusing art sold by street vendors.

Short trip from Paris, and just across the channel from England

1_8 Short trip from Paris, and just across the channel from England Famous WWII landing beaches, museum and memorials Historical region of William the Conqueror The famous Mt. Saint Michel Abbey Seaside resorts and casinos Just across the Channel from London, and not far from Paris, you will find the welcoming region of Normandy with its varied coastline and rich countryside. Normandy probably has more significance to North American visitors than any other part of France. Normandy gets its name from the 10th-century Norman Vikings that settled the country. In 1066 the famous Norman Duke William defeated the Saxon King Harold in the Battle of Hastings, was crowned King of England and became known as William the Conqueror. For many centuries after the descendants of his Norman army governed England, creating much of the Anglo-Saxon heritage.
