France

Overview of France

France is more practiced than almost anywhere at the art of living well. The coffee arrives correctly, the cheese selection requires thought, and dinner is never something you rush. Move from Paris - where the museums, restaurants, and streets have been refined over centuries - to the lavender fields and hilltop villages of Provence, to the Riviera where the Mediterranean runs along a coast of limestone cliffs and harbor towns, and you cross through what feels like multiple countries within one.
