Festival of Europe: France
Guidebook co-author Steve Smith joins French tour guide and guidebook researcher Virginie Moré for a virtual trip to France. We start in Paris with the Louvre and Orsay museums and the extravagant Palace of Versailles. We then visit the powerful D-Day beaches and mesmerizing island abbey Mont St-Michel before wandering the châteaux of the Loire Valley, markets of the Dordogne, hill towns of Provence, and half-timbered villages of the Alsace - and that's just the beginning! We review our France tour itineraries to help you find the perfect fit.

Bonjour, i went to Paris this past autumn, the 1st word out of my mouth was Bonjour, i even took French before my visit, never too hard to teach an old dog new tricks, Je suis désolée, mon français n'est pas très bon. They were very patient and helped me learn. One must enjoy getting outside their comfort zone.
Luv the scarfs.
Delighted to be here.
Yes
Bon, Bon, Bon.
Question: must one know French to visit? Every other KZread video or Facebook group about France travel seem to emphasize a form of language knowledge. Due to me being hard of hearing, I asked one group if it was possible to hire French/English guide/interpreter and was met with major push back that made me fearful to even visit at all 😢.
