Aix en Provence, Several Seasons of Sun  Provence has become my favorite region of France. Pleasant in all seasons, visit Aix to absorb the scene of sprawling fields of lavender beyond tile-roofed villas. Even days spent doing nothing appear eventful in the context of this southern way of life. Biking Along the Chambly Canal  Take a bike tour along the Chambly Canal - an easy day trip from Montreal. Day tripping : Normandy’s Alabaster Coast  Easily accesible from Paris, steal away from the city to lunch on fresh seafood, enjoy half-timbered architecture and explore the fairytale setting of the Alabaster Coast. Fecamp's invitingly green pastures crown milky cliffs as they branch into grandiose archways over the sea.

Saintes and Gorges of the Cote d’Azur  Sainte Maxime and Saint Tropez are novel cities to visit, both offering a taste of the glamour that envelops the Cote d’Azur. In contrast, the neighboring Gorges du Verdon, Grand Canyon of Europe, presents a more sauvage scene. Train to Brussels  Aboard the TGV, french-speaking Belgium is less than an hour and a half away from Paris.
