Travel Tips For France
Anyone planning to visit France may have a list of beautiful places they want to visit but they may be unaware of the amount of temptations that will be offered for taste. The travel to France can be an indulgence on the taste buds as well as the waist line if not careful.
You will find the best pastries in the world while you travel to France. The pastries are as beautiful as they are fattening with the feather light cakes that are covered in the creamy rich chocolates and decorated with butter cream frosting. More than 2300 pastry shops are located on almost every corner of the streets of France. You will be tempted with sherbet cakes, fruit filled crepes, candied chestnuts, and apple tarts to name a few. The best ice cream can be purchased at Berthillon in Paris in a variety of homemade flavors.
Every meal in France will be a temptation as the top chefs are located here and are constantly creating delicacies for you to try. Your palette will certainly enjoy the burst of flavors that it is encountering but your waistline may not feel so good about it. The best way to indulge your taste buds while travel in France and keep your waistline in tact is to share a small serving with a friend. You can get a sample of the treat without having to endure the mass amount of calories it includes.
Riding a bike through the countryside is a wonderful way to burn calories while sightseeing. Your journey will uncover marvelous castles, gourmet restaurants tucked away from the crowd as well as many museums. Trying to take in everything while in France might be impossible so it is suggested to make a list of the most important places you want to see while there.
You should have a map of all the cities you plan to visit and examine them before you arrive to ensure you have a good feel for the countryside you are about to explore.
The French culture is much different than that of America so you might need to purchase a book to find out the differences and get in tune with the French attitude before arriving.
You will notice many people in France speak English but finding one when you need them may be near impossible. It is a good practice to learn the language enough to ask for help finding a taxi, ordering off a menu, or to find your way to the hotel before you arrive.
Check the weather often as it changes frequently in France, you want to be prepared for any of the outings you have planned. When packing for your trip to France keep it light, the French do not accommodate heavy travelers very well. The trains in France have limited space for baggage and many of the hotels in France do not have elevators. If you have three bags and 5 flights of stairs to climb you will be exhausted before your trip even begins.
