Our travels in France have been a thoroughly enjoyable experience – it's truly an exciting and beautiful country. The towns we've visited, the sights we've seen, the people we've met. This book presents our vacation adventures, travel anecdotes, snippets of history, and our enthusiasm for travel in France.

This is a story of what we saw and where we saw it, during our nine trips to France. Eight other countries (Andorra, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Monaco, Spain, and Switzerland) border on France, and we have crossed those frontiers more than fifty times, and have visited some parts of France at least a dozen times.

This story does not trace what we did during any one year, but is a composite of all our trips – nearly one hundred sixty nights, spent in over one hundred different places. To us the RV is a convenient way to travel, but this book is not about RV travel. We have not spent even one night in a hotel in France, so it is obviously not about hotels.

The glories of France include the Normandy beaches, the Brittany coast, the wonders of Paris, and the Châteaux on the Loire River. How about "Holiday on Ice" , staged in a two-thousand-year-old Roman Amphitheater? We saw an advertisement for a religious meeting in the remains of a Roman amphitheater, with no mention of the lions.

No one has been able to properly describe the excitement of walking the ramparts of old walled cities such as Carcassonne, Pérouges, Aigues Mortes, and Avignon, we tried, and we couldn't either. Chamonix, Grenoble and the French Alps for sightseeing and skiing, world-famous beaches and resorts at Nice, Cannes, and St. Tropez on the south, Deauville and Dinard on the north, the "Perched Villages" a few miles above the Côte d'Azur (French Riviera) – whatever your interests, France is truly a vacation paradise.

The City of Paris is exceptional, to say the least. Along with the buildings and monuments known to many tourists, each street and every neighborhood has its own charm. Antique markets, outdoor food markets, spacious and beautiful department stores, cathedrals, palaces, museums, monuments, and public buildings are rightfully world famous.

No matter how often we have walked along the bank of the Seine, sauntered the Champs Elysées, climbed the steep stairways of Montmartre, there is always some fine detail, some small grace note, we never noticed before.
