Introduction to France
France lies at the heart of Western Europe as a beacon of delicious cuisine, romantic landscapes, and beautiful Old World cities. Many of Europe's most celebrated philosophers and writers -- Voltaire, Baudelaire, Sartre, Foucault, Barthes, and Derrida, to name a few -- come from Paris, and much of the world's finest wine is cultivated on French soil. From the snowy peaks of the Pyrenees to the deepest caves of Lascaux (whose walls are covered with human drawings dated at nearly 15,000 BCE) to the sandy dunes of Les Landes on the western coast, the diverse terrain couples with a diverse set of dialects and cultural practices. France is unified by a great many things, however, from music festivals to political activism to fantastic cheese, and has a wealth of beauty and experience to offer the curious traveler.
