Guidebook co-author Steve Smith joins French tour guide and guidebook researcher Virginie Moré for a virtual trip to France. We start in Paris with the Louvre and Orsay museums and the extravagant Palace of Versailles. We then visit the powerful D-Day beaches and mesmerizing island abbey Mont St-Michel before wandering the châteaux of the Loire Valley, markets of the Dordogne, hill towns of Provence, and half-timbered villages of the Alsace — and that's just the beginning! We review our France tour itineraries to help you find the perfect fit.
