A Bourd lle on HÔPITAL QUINZE VINGTS Basti Bd de ed s y Sull d ru Must–do monuments One of the most recognized monuments in the world, the Eiffel Tower attracts more than 6 million visitors each year. The views from uppermost platforms are best an hour before sunset. Visiting Napoleon’s Arc de Triomphe should also top your list. The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier beneath the Arch honors those killed during WWI, and the eternal flame honors those killed in both World Wars. Île-de-la-Cité: The birthplace of Paris The birthplace of Paris and the site of its most significant church — the Cathédrale Notre-Dame — Île-de-la-Cité has become a kind of pilgrimage site. Cross the footbridge to Île-St.-Louis to stroll its charming residential neighborhood. 4 Must-see museums Originally a royal palace, the Louvre now houses such legendary works as the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci, “Venus de Milo”, and “Winged Victory”. Spend some time in the Jardin des Tuileries just outside the museum. The second-most important museum in Paris, the Musée d’Orsay is a work of art itself. The transformed railroad station holds an impressive collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionistic paintings. Walks to take Paris is, above all, a pedestrian city. St.-Germain-des-Prés in the Latin Quarter is lined with famous cafés, where intellectuals still meet to discuss the issues of the day. Continue to Montparnasse, once home to expatriate literati such as Ernest Hemingway. Trek up the hill in Montmartre, also an artist’s haunt, past the Moulin Rouge, and on to Sacré-Coeur. You will be rewarded with wonderful views. Finally, be sure to take the most famous walk of all: Along the Champs-Elysées. l Av Rol Da um es n n sé os e F ard e d ern Ru t B t de IV de Lyo uC .

Below are a few suggestions to start you on your way. Right Bank versus Left Bank? The Right Bank falls north of the Seine River — home to the Champs-Elysées, the Louvre, and the artistocratic neighborhood of Le Marais. bliqu air Ru ed Rd Rd 'Arc o alais Cité de la de P Bd cque s St. J a Ru e Bd S t.

While paintbrushes are optional, be sure to pack your bikini. • 5 nights hotel accommodation in Nice, Cannes, or Monte–Carlo, including service charges and Value Added Tax (VAT) Nice Perhaps it is 300 days of sunshine per year that cause the Niçois to be so friendly.

Climb the famous stairs of the Palais des Festivals, where the Cannes Film Festival is held; stroll the seaside Promenade la Croisette; or sunbathe on the beaches fashion designer Coco Chanel made famous. Monte–Carlo Also twenty minutes from Nice, Monte–Carlo — a mere three-quarters miles square — actually resides in the Principality of Monaco. Most come for the gambling, the glitz, and the yearly Grand Prix. The rococo Monte–Carlo Casino is a must-see. Grasse Witness the entire perfume-making process — from petal to drop — at a number of perfumeries. Three-quarters of the world’s essences are distilled in Grasse from the abundant lavender, jasmine, and other regional flowers. Menton When you think of Menton, think of lemons. The warmest place in France, the city grows lemons in profusion — and even holds a yearly lemon festival. In this lovely seaside village, particularly along the promenade du Soleil, it’s always a “walk in the sun.” Additional areas of interest in the French Riviera include Antibes, Juan-les-Pins, and St.-Paul de Vence. 7 Provence Land of lavender and light You, too, could spend a year in Provence. Its sublime light has attracted painters for more than a century. You are likely familiar already with this lavender landscape of Van Gogh and Cézanne from their paintings. Marseille Founded by Greeks more than 2,500 years ago, Marseille is the oldest city in France and one of the liveliest ports in the world. Visit the colorful Vieux Port (Old Port) and sample competing versions of the city’s classic fish stew: bouillabaisse.

Visit the formidable Palais des Papes (Palace of the Popes), where the supremacy of Rome was nearly overturned in the 14th century. 6 days/5 nights from 1039 $ Explore the irresistible treasures of Provence, from fields of lavender to Roman ruins. • Roundtrip midweek airfare from New York to Marseille on Air France • 5 nights hotel accommodation in Provence, including service charges and Value Added Tax (VAT) • Continental, buffet, or full American breakfast daily (determined by hotel selected) • 5-day Hertz rental car Photo credit: Maison de la France/FAURE Daniel Perhaps more famous are the ruins of the 12th century pont St.–Bénézet, which juts into the Rhône. This is the bridge of the well-known children’s rhyme, “Sur le pont d’Avignon, l’on y danse, l’on y danse,” and also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Gordes This hilltop village is one of the most beautiful in France. Its white-stone houses spiral upward to the stunning castle and church. Outside, soak in panoramic views of the Lubéron Mountains; inside, visit the Pol Mara Museum, which features works by the contemporary Flemish painter. You can visit St. Paul’s Monastery, where the painter convalesced after cutting off his left ear. Although his cell is not open, the Romananesque chapel and cloisters are worth the trip. 8 Photo credit: Maison de la France/LEJEUNE Nicole Saint-Rémy-de-Provence Discover authentic Provençal living in this blissfully quiet village located at the base of the Alpilles Mountains.
