A weekend getaway or short excursion from the main attractions in France s big cities is definitely recommended if you want to see La France in its many facets. France s regions each have their own characteristics and personality. Within a 2 hour drive from the city of Paris are towns unique in appearance and substance, in a culture entirely different from that of Parisians.
Accents are different, interests are different, and character is different.
In France you will not confuse one town with another or one region with another, because the old homes, buildings and streets are proudly preserved without the proliferation of chains, franchises, strip malls and tract housing developments to spoil the distinctive character of each community.
