Description

Hundreds of thousands of travellers visit France each year. The glories of the French countryside, the essential harmony of much of French architecture, the wealth of historical remains, the enormous variety of experience that France offers, act as a perennial and irresistible attraction. For these visitors this lively and useful guide provides the essential clues to an understanding of France's past, and present, in entertaining and sometimes surprising detail.

First Sentence

FRANCE, like other European nations, is a phenomenon born out of conscious striving rather than from the natural affinity of its parts.
