France: History and Landscape

Second-Hand

Excellent Condition

France is the most visited country of Europe - with around 75 million tourists, the World Tourism Organization puts it well in the lead of Spain (on 53 million) and the United States (around 50 million).

With everything a tourist could possibly require in an area not quite the size of the state of Texas, France is noted for the beauty of its countryside, the antiquity of its cities, the richness of its culture, the diversity of its cuisine, and the style of its fashionable people.

Today, France is one of the world’s great powers: a founder member of the United Nations and European Union, it has one of the strongest economies in the world.

But for all its political standing, it is France’s history and its landscape that provides the background to the country’s unique character, and the reasons for its enduring magic.
