France is one of the most beautiful and interesting travel destinations one could chose in Europe. I had the opportunity to visit it’s Riviera through the holiday rentals France travel agency. It’s amazing to see how the mountains and the sea meet. French culture is also very rich and traveling there is a valuable life experience.

Paris is one of those places that you have high expectations going in, and it really doesn’t disappoint. I recommend everyone visit this beautiful and historic city at least one time in their life.

If you can get up early enough (or haven’t gone to bed yet), watching the sun come up behind the Eiffel tower is an unforgettable experience. Some of the best viewing is from the Place du Trocadero, but it’s hard to go wrong if you’re anywhere in the area.

Make sure you try currywurst in Germany. It's basically a hot dog with tomato sauce (ketchup) and curry powder. Tastes brilliant and only costs 1 or 2 Euro.
A great way to spend the afternoon in Paris? Grab some cheese, a baguette and some wine from the shops on the Champs Elysees and head down for a picnic in front of the Eiffel Tower!
I went on two tours alone...I made life-long friends along the way! That's the nature of Contiki.
