France is a wonderful country to visit with every single region having its own distinct look and feel and I think only Italy in Europe can come close to France for the wonderful cuisine. Again the food in France differs from town to town with each centre seemingly having its own speciality dish, this washed down with some of the best and most affordable wine in the world makes for a truly great experience.
The French prize themselves quite rightly on their Food and wine for his humble rarely somewhere at a very good Tobacco to find the Michelin restaurant.
I once visited France and traveled very extensively by many, but I will highlight the occasion, the only place I visited in a row.
Located on the border between Normandy and Brittany is the town of Le Mont St Michael. This is almost like a fairy-tale castle is a walled city, sitting on a huge rock in the middle of anatural harbour and only accessible by a permanent causeway. At high tide it is almost completely cut off from the mainland with surrounding country flat and low lying Le Mont St Michael can be seen from miles inland. I'm a keen cyclist so highly recommend staying within 10 km of Mont st Michael and riding to it the land is quite flat but very rural and scenic and the views as you close in on Le Mont St Michael is truly amazing.
The Border region between Normandy and Brittany is famed for its apples and many local delicacies are made from Apples such as Normandy Calvados, Cider and the wonderful Tarte de Normandy a delicious pastry filled with a set custard and Apple slices all laced with Calvados. The surrounding region is about an hours drive from the port of Cherbourg, Normandy or half an hour's drive from the Port of St Malo, Brittany. Faeries run regularly from Poole in Dorset to either of these ports, If your thinking of going I can recommend the night faerie to Cherbourg with a very comfortable car for a cheap pint of beer before going to bed you wake up and your there. Accommodation is also very sensitive to the whole of France to more cheap hotels in France.
