Vive La France!

Le Tour Eiffel

France is a magical place, it's history is long, rich and sometimes bloody. And from this history we get romance, intrigue and of course food and wine!

It claims the most famous city in the world as it's capital paris, the most famous monument in the Eiffel Tower, the best lovers and the finest cuisine. Of course many would dispute most if not all  off these claims but there is no denying France has many characteristics for which it is famous and rightly proud of.

In our blog we will try to bring some of these facets to life for you, perhaps give you travel advice and tips and really try to show you some of the culture that makes France what it is today.
