its busy Channel ports and elegant resorts. From Dieppe

coloured cliffs. West of Le Havre are a number of smart resorts
and sandy beaches, then the beaches of the D-Day landings give way
to the wilder sandy beaches of the Cherbourg peninsular

of France with a recent and older history to explore and cusine
to enjoy

and attractive countryside, ancient sites and an emphasis on Celtic
history and culture. In northern Brittany the Cote

which give way as you head westwards to the wilder Cote de Granite
Rose - coves, cliffs and caves. Further west still is Brittany's
land's end, Finistere, with spectacular cliffs and small villages.
Brittany's south coast is less wild, warmer and blessed with miles
of safe sandy beaches. Inland the country rises to high open rocky
ground cut deeply by many small wooded valleys
 Properties
in Paris
Paris
... is divided up into twenty "arrondissement'' or districts.
The ``First'' is in the center of the city, and the others are laid
out in a clockwise manner about this. As these are such a basic
unit to the city, they are constantly referred to in guides and
literature; almost always using simply their associated number (1er,
or 2em etc). The Louvre is in the First, the Arc de Triomphe is
in the Eighth. You can determine the arrondissement of an address
from its postal code. The last two digits of a Paris address give
the arrondissement; 75018 is the eighteenth for example. The exception
to this rule are addresses with the word ``CEDEX'' appearing in
them.
 Properties
in North East of France
North East France, Picardy, Champagne-Ardenne and Pas de Calais
easy access from England to this multi-faceted region. The long
sandy beaches and dunes of the Opal Coast give way inland to undulating
countryside, lush wooded hills and ancient forests, inland waterways
and the famous vine-growing area of Champagne. There are medieval
towns, cultural and gastronomic centres and the historic and moving
sites of the first and second world wars. Combine a short break
(special rates for stays of less than 5 days) with some shopping
for French wines and delicacies.
 Properties
in The Loire
The Loire
... is justly famed. It is home to some of the most beautiful
chateaux in the world, some set in rolling farmland and woods, some
on the banks of languid rivers, some dominating the many historic
towns and cities. The whole region, with its gentle scenery crossed
by wide rivers is excellent for touring and cycling. Many of the
rivers offer boating, canoeing. Swimming is possible, although take
care as these rivers are big and can be dangerous. The area is steeped
in history and culture. There are numerous music festivals in the
summer and many of the chateaux have spectacular son et lumiere
shows. Indeed, there is so much to see and do we can only suggest
you come here, invest in a good guide book, and enjoy. The problem
with the Loire is not what to do, but what to leave out
