Could it be the chic boulevards of Paris, the sparkling ski slopes of the Alps, sunlit vineyards and sun-baked beaches, a dusty game of boules , or coffee and croissants in an undiscovered village? Or perhaps it’s a tour of the majestic châteaux of the Loire that appeals, the glamorous jet-set lifestyle of the Mediterranean, or a relaxing picnic in Provence, where the air is fragrant with wild herbs and lavender? Consider also the delights of other lesser-known regions such as Franche-Comté, Gascony or Berry, deep in the green heart of France – regions firmly rooted to the land, whose sleepy villages offer visitors a chance to sample the true douceur de vivre of provincial France. There is no denying that France is a land of great contrasts, offering an endless choice of enticing destinations, a rich diversity of landscapes, cuisines, climates and peoples, with an exceptional cultural heritage. It’s easy to see why the French stay at home for their holidays and why they so felicitously call their country La Belle France . Geography France, the largest country in Europe, is bordered to the north by the English Channel ( La Manche ), the northeast by Belgium and Luxembourg, the east by Germany, Switzerland and Italy, the south by the Mediterranean (with Monaco as a coastal enclave between Nice and the Italian frontier), the southwest by Spain and Andorra, and the west by the Atlantic Ocean. The island of Corsica, southeast of Nice, is made up of two départements . The country offers a spectacular variety of scenery, from the mountain ranges of the Alps and Pyrénées to the attractive river valleys of the Loire, Rhône and Dordogne and the flatter countryside in Normandy and on the Atlantic coast. The country has some 2900km (1800 miles) of coastline. Sponsored Listings ( Add your listing ) advertisement Advertisement -- advertisement Why iExplore?

More maps... Travelling across the German countryside on pristine, high speed intercity trains and around German cities on efficient urban S-Bahn and U-Bahn networks, it's easy to feel the spirit of efficiency which drives the country forward. Germany's commitment to the principle of progress has a bit of a track record. For five hundred years the German lands have been a crucible of technological innovation, theological revolution, modern philosophy and radical political movements. The modern German state, inaugurated in October 1990, is a social and economic bridge between the former Eastern bloc and the European Union, and has firmly set its sights on building for the future. Berlin, a remodelled capital city with an openly gay mayor, a reconstructed Reichstag , a new city centre at the Potsdamer Platz and a brand new international airport is described today - almost to the point of tedium - as being the biggest building site in Europe, if not the world. Germany's time is coming.

Cross the wasteland of twenty percent unemployment, drug-cheat athletes and mass neo-Nazism, next stop funky sexy Prague . More books... Or: you could at least get off that Prague train a couple of hours earlier and give Dresden a try. If you're not at least pleasantly surprised, or more likely staggered by the returning beauty of the city that used to be known as the Florence of the Elbe , you'll be in the minority. Dresden's cultural treasures were famously and tragically all but destroyed by the February 1945 firebombing and again endangered just last summer by the flood of the century, but every time I go there it seems that there are more jewels to admire. The view of the restored Semper Opera House , palatial museum and gallery complex named the Zwinger , and the Brhl Terrace along the bank of the Elbe is stunning, especially illuminated in the evening.

Family Vacation Michigan Historical
FamilyFun: Michigan Family Vacation Sign Up for Free Newsletters Michigan History Lesson by Robert N. Jenkins What to see and do in Lower Michigan 1 of 4 Souvenirs and memories define the success of any vacation, and my family came away from a trip to Michigan with a minivan-load of them. Long after he has outgrown the T-shirt listing 10 reasons why it's neat to be a nuclear engineer, my 14-year-old son Michael will remember our guided tour of a reactor. When 10-year-old Ryan's crush on Dominique Moceanu has evaporated, he will still have the aluminum coin he made that linked their names. And with nothing more than a couple of glossy magazines and some creased floor-plan maps, the boysand their Mom and Iwill recall the thrill of gazing at the long tables of beakers and mechanical gadgets in Thomas Edison's lab, of staring at a moon rock and imagining its secrets, of learning the human side of the Great Depression and World War II's homefront. The boys might even reflect on the curious diversity that Michigan presents: From the skyscrapers and historic major league baseball stadium of downtown Detroit, to the blocks-long auto factories, to mile upon mile of cornfields and forests, the way to see Michigan is to drive it. Time, not the horizon beyond our windshield, was the real limit on our trip. My family spent 12 days circling the southern half of the state starting in Lansing and ending in Holland; the journey could be completed in less time without the stop in Holland. We began our family trip to Michigan by flying to Detroit, where we rented a minivan. For the most part we stayed in East Lansing and generally made day trips out and back. A good place to stay is the Kellogg Center (517-432-4000), located on the Michigan State University campus. Athletic facilities, classroom buildings and dormitories are only a short walk away. A deluxe room, which provided a sitting area and beds for everyone, costs $126 per night. Also close to the campus, in the town of Okemos, is a Holiday Inn Express (517-347-6690). Rates are about $89 a night for a two-bed room. Robert N. Jenkins is the travel editor of the ST. PETERSBURG TIMES in St. Petersburg, Florida.
