The jewel in the setting of France is undoubtedly Paris - probably the most romantic capital in the world. It is a city of infinite beauty, of wonderful architecture, elegant shops and superb restaurants. It is not only in Paris, however, that good food may be sampled. Throughout the whole of France cooking is considered to be one of the fine arts, and eating one of the paramount pleasures of life. To accompany the "haute cuisine" there are some of the greatest wines in the world: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and Alsace among them.
The unique beauty of France's regions is superbly illustrated by the many magnificent colour photographs in this memorable book. Vissza
