France Travel Guide - Travel to France - 0 views

    "France is the most visited country in the world. It has everything that you could ever want to see on your holidays: a great city like Paris, good beaches, more monuments than any other country, lovely nature, incredible mountain scenery; need I go on? France is also a very pleasant place to stay. It has good food, great wines and people enjoy their lives. And the best thing is, maybe apart from Paris, living in France does not have to be expensive. The North of France consists of the flatlands around the town of Lille and the English Channel. This area will remind visitors in many ways of Belgium and the Netherlands. The Grand' Place in Lille for example is a lot like the one in Brussels. "

Promenade des Anglais - 0 views

    "Nice's Promenade des Anglais is part of the heart of this seaside French city. Nice's Promenade des Anglais is lined with cafes situated directly on the beach, and it's a bustling area active with cyclists, runners, walkers and rollerbladers. Find out more about the Promenade des Anglais in Nice, France. About the Promenade des Anglais: The promenade is a walkway lining the Bay of Angels in Nice, and it actually runs for several miles. It has existed for decades, dating back to the 1800s when aristocrats from throughout Europe flocked to the inviting Cote d'Azur city. Today, it is a thriving concourse along a thriving Riviera city, home to many landmark hotels, dozens of cafes and miles of beach. It stretches from the airport on the western side to Old Nice (and the quai des Etats Unis) to the east. What's on the Promenade des Anglais: The Promenade des Anglais is worth a visit even if you merely plan to find one of the promenade's blue chairs, have a seat, listen to the waves and watch the world sail by. There are many popular sights to see along the route, however, including: * Just east of the promenade, the start of the Cours Selaya market and Old Nice (or Vieux Nice). * Place Massena, an expansive square that is arguably the hub of activity in Nice. * Casino Ruhl * The stunning example of art deco architecture (just recently restored), Palais de la Mediterranee * The Hotel Negresco, another glorious art deco building"

  • The Eiffel Tower This is probably the most famous monument in France, but at the beginning it was a not very well accepted. French citizens did not like it and thought it was a waste of money. This iron tower was built on the Champ de Mars beside the River Seine in Paris, and replaced the Washington Monument. It was called the Tower Eiffel in honour of its designer,the engineer Gustave Eiffel.

    "From Fort St-André with its two mighty round towers, built in the second half of the 14th C by John the Good and Charles V, there is a magnificent view of Villeneuve, Avignon, Mont Ventoux and the Lubéron and Alpilles mountain ranges. The massive walls enclose the little town of St-André, a Benedictine monastery and the Romanesque Church of Notre- Dame-de-Belvézet."

Notre Dame de Paris - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  •  
    "Notre Dame de Paris (French for Our Lady of Paris), also known as Notre Dame Cathedral, is a Gothic, Catholic cathedral on the eastern half of the Île de la Cité in the fourth arrondissement of Paris, France. It is the cathedral of the Catholic Archdiocese of Paris: that is, it is the church that contains the cathedra (official chair), of the Archbishop of Paris, currently André Vingt-Trois. Notre Dame de Paris is widely considered one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture in France and in Europe. It was restored and saved from destruction by Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, one of France's most famous architects. The name Notre Dame means "Our Lady" in French, and is frequently used in the names of Catholic church buildings in Francophone countries. Notre Dame de Paris was one of the first Gothic cathedrals, and its construction spanned the Gothic period. Its sculptures and stained glass show the heavy influence of naturalism, unlike that of earlier Romanesque architecture. Notre Dame de Paris was among the first buildings in the world to use the flying buttress (arched exterior supports). The building was not originally designed to include the flying buttresses around the choir and nave. After the construction began and the thinner walls (popularized in the Gothic style) grew ever higher, stress fractures began to occur as the walls pushed outward. In response, the cathedral's architects built supports around the outside walls, and later additions continued the pattern. The cathedral suffered desecration during the radical phase of the French Revolution in the 1790s, when much of its religious imagery was damaged or destroyed. During the 19th century, an extensive restoration project was completed, returning the cathedral to its previous state. "

    "Brief History The town of Versailles sits about 20 kilometers outside of Paris. The first mention of the town and estate was in 1038, when the name appeared in a charter of the Abbey of Saint-Père de Chartres. By the end of the 11th century, Versailles was a country village Statue of Louis XIV at Versailles Statue of Louis XIV enveloping a castle and the church of Saint-Julien, remaining prosperous until well into the 13th century. After the Hundred Years War, however, only a handful of people lived there. Royal Presence In the 16th century, the Gondi family became the rulers of Versailles and the town began to gain acclaim when future King Louis XIII visited and became enamored with the site. He purchased land in the area and proceeded to build a small brick and stone lodge there in 1622. Ten years later, he became the lord of Versailles and began enlarging his lodge. Soon, he purchased more land as well as Gondi's estate. Louis XIII dies in 1643. The Sun King In 1662, the new king - Louis XIV - took an earnest interest in Versailles. Louis XIV, also known as The Sun King, distrusted the Parisians and wanted to move his Royal Residence away from the Louvre Palace, which was at the heart of constant political turbulence. The Sun King was largely responsible for the expansion that resulted in the building that still stands today. He hired architect Louis Le Vau along with artist Versailles Royal Chapel Royal Chapel Charles Le Brun to carry out the work on this Baroque masterpiece, which became the quintessential model for all palaces in Europe. Famed gardener André le Nôtre was responsible for the unequalled Versailles Garden. After Le Vau's death, Jules Hardouin- Mansart was commissioned to triple the size of the palace. Under his watchful eye, the northern and southern wings, the Orangerie, the Grand Trianon (a chateau) and the Royal Chapel were constructed. Later additions included the Opera and the Petit Trianon (a small chateau), which was built bet

    Ya habiendo llegado a Francia usted dispone de varias opciones relativas al traslado.

  • Coches de alquiler Los coches de alquiler en Francia son una muy buena alternativa para quienes piensan en viajar por diferentes lugares y quieren estar tranquilos de que no dependerán de nadie más que de ellos mismos para moverse. Alquilar un coche en Francia le permitirá moverse con libertad dentro de las ciudades o de una ciudad a otra sin depender de los horarios de los medios de transporte públicos. Quizá usted crea que alquilar un coche en Francia sea muy costoso, pero si calcula lo que gastará en otros medios de transporte (dependiendo del tipo de turismo que usted quiera hacer en Francia), verá que en muchos casos hasta puede llegar a ahorrar dinero. También consulte con las agencias de alquiler de coches en Francia para saber si ofrecen algún tipo de descuento por pertenecer a alguna organización o club o si tienen beneficios especiales para los viajeros de alguna aerolínea en particular o para los clientes de alguna tarjeta de crédito. También es conveniente que entre a varios sitios web sobre alquiler de coches en Francia para estar al tanto de los precios que se manejan para cada modelo de coche de alquiler. Con un poco de investigación usted podrá encontrar el coche de alquiler ideal para hacer turismo en Francia. Tren Hay tres tipos de trenes en Francia. El TVG es el conocido como tren bala o de alta velocidad. El Corail es el tren común que viaja por toda Francia y dentro de las ciudades. Los trenes internacionales son el tercer tipo de tren y su explicación no es necesaria.
  • Metro El metro es una forma rápida de moverse dentro de las ciudades más grandes de Francia. Usted podrá adquirir un pase libre que resulta mucho más barato que comprar los boletos por separado (por supuesto, si usted utilizará el metro sólo un par de veces, no tiene sentido comprar este pase). El único inconveniente con el metro es que para los turistas se hace un poco complejo entender su recorrido.
