Oui, c'est encore la belle France, from the bright lights of Paris to the rocky shores of Brittany/Normandy and the chic vibe of the Côte d'Azur - both deluxe and pas cher.

The legendary Tour de France!
Tour de FranceWell, there´s no doubt that this is tops in Europe if not the world. From late June through late July, the Tour unfolds over roughly 3,300–3,500 kilometers (2,050-2,175 mi.) in a three-week circuit that changes course annually. And it´s really more than just a bicycle race—starting towns, mountain villages, vineyards and coastlines become waystations in a moving festival of sport. Riders climb high Alpine cols above Mont Blanc, sprint along the lavender-scented roads of Provence,…

Some of the hilltop villages are fun. Near Nice is Saint Paul de Vence. Love it there with the winding cobbled streets but my favorite is as you walk in through the large city gates is a wonderful gelato shop with one of the best gelato's I've had in Europe! Lemon Meringue Pie, absolutely stunning. Its not a huge village so you can see it in about an hour. Also there is an artist there who paints the most colorful paintings, its worth a stop his name is Michel Degave and he's a fun person to talk to who can give you some good history about the village. Gordes is a great one to visit too.
Also the Pont du Gare bridge is fascinating and worth a visit. Amazing Roman architecture that still stands perfectly (actually an aquaduct) is over 2000 years old. There is a nice park, hiking trails and interpretive center there. The little restaurant there actually had pretty good food. When we were there is was filled with kids. Also if you do see the bridge they get you for parking on the way out. Purchase your ticket at the interpretive center.
