Many people say that this historical side of the French capital is no less interesting than Paris with all its glamour and magnificence.
And don’t forget to go to Normandy or Brittany, the backwoods of France. This side of France is very interesting. To have a complete view of the country one should try to understand the meaning of the leisurely way of life the French province has been leading for centuries.
The trip starts right at the Belgium border. In the nearest French city Amgen one can find the Notre Dame cathedral constructed in the XIII century. It is the biggest cathedral in France.
Another wonder of this corner of France is Mont Saint Michel (Mount Saint Michael). This is an impressive granite rock crowned by a monastery and a huge cathedral, devoted to archangel Michael. The uniqueness of this “architectural wonder” lies also in the fact that it stands on the small island connected to the continent by a big dike.
And certainly one should visit the castles situated in the valley of the Loire river. Along the road you will make stops in the French villages where the French peasants will treat you to the real Camembert and the apple vodka Calvados.
