French Promenade
From one corner of France to the other, see the many shades of French culture.
Paris is the center of it all—feel its significance in the intricate architecture of the Eiffel Tower and the smile of the Mona Lisa. Down south, Biarritz has grown from a fishing village to a world-famous seaside resort. In Provence and the Riviera, the picturesque landscapes recall France’s artistic heritage.
