France is a good place to experience the old continent’s most brilliant architecture, design and lifestyle. The big and fast-paced cities balance the modern and the old. The French capital and Lisbon, the Portuguese share architectural styles, especially in their most central residential quarters. The French countryside is dotted with quaint villages and breathtaking landscapes. It’s the type of region that you don’t know what you’re missing out on until you get your first glimpse.
