 Romantic
honeymoon in France.
When you think of France,
what comes to mind? April in Paris, the Cannes Film Festival, truffles and wine
in Provence, the beaches of Normandy, great artists, ancient towns and villages?
These are just tastes of what a honeymoon in France can be all about. For trips
of a good length, couples typically delight in a combination of experiences, using
the monumental landscape of Paris as a beginning or ending anchor, but taking
the time to get lost meandering in the beautiful countryside for a honeymoon france. The
fertile, chateau-studded Loire Valley, the storied coasts of Brittany and
Normandy, the hills of Provence, and the valleys of Alsace being favorites. You
can even drive or train into the Black Forest or Bavaria in Germany, or the cosmopolitan
cities of Brussels or Amsterdam to rapidly expand your country repertoire in a
most romantic way! Wherever it pleases you, stay in historic inns, photograph
castles and ruins, attend cooking schools, and make a corner of the country your
very own. Romantic honeymoons in Paris.
Sun and Sandals can arrange a romantic honeymoon holiday in Paris. Paris
is one of the most romantic cities in the world. Find out the best spots to snuggle
and smooch with your sweetheart. Go up! Everyone knows about the Eiffel Tower,
but there are two other ways to get high with your honey. The Arc de Triomphe
and Notre Dame both provide stunning views of the city. There are few better places
to put your arms around your lover than atop these two attractions.
Some would even argue you get a better view, because the Eiffel Tower is so tall
the city is too small from that height. And at Notre Dame, you get the bonus of
being close to the gothic gargoyles. Live it up! A short train ride away, visit
the luxurious Chateau de Versaille, the elaborate palace of the notorious Sun
King.Be sure to take a bottle of wine and a snack of baguettes and cheese to nibble
on the grounds. Just a few more minutes further on the same train, you can visit
Chartres Cathedral, one of the most stunning gothic churches in Europe. Or truly
pretend to be royalty. Stay at a French chateau (castle). The Chateau d'Esclimont
is about 45 minutes from Paris, and even has lower-priced rooms that make it within
reach for mere peasants. Be sure to eat dinner at the chateau's wonderful restaurant.
The Loire Valley stretches south and west
of Paris, centering on Orleans. It is a beautiful, rolling plain of farms, aristocratic
country estates, and of course the beautiful chateaux from centuries past. It
is easily reached from Paris as a guided daytrip, but we recommend taking your
time and enjoying the hospitality and local produce a chateau-hotel can offer
you. Normandy is the Atlantic coastland
closest to Paris, its beaches on the English Channel beautiful and peaceful reminders
of the sacrifices of the Allies to liberate the country, but bearing testimony
back to time of the Vikings and Celts. The landscape is almost exactly the same
as a half-century ago; farms, cows, grassland, stately towns like Caen, Honfleur,
and Bayeux. Normandy is particularly quiet and beautiful in the fall, an ideal
time for a French honeymoon. Brittany runs west of Normandy to land's end just
past the pretty port town of Brest. Provence
is an evocative, romantic district of rich hills, valleys, and mountains north
of the French Riviera. It is home to historic towns including Aix, Arles, and
Avignon, all featuring beautiful religious architecture and thriving country markets.
Provence is easily accessible via the high-speed TGV trains from Paris, or by
car from Nice, but really requires a car to get around. The
Cote d'Azur is ideal for a waterfront resort escape and hobnobbing with the
international jetset, but also perfectly combinable with Provence or even the
calmer Italian Riviera. Monaco is worth a special trip from France, the little
principality dramatically embraced by cliffs coming down to meet the sea. It features
one of the best opera houses in Europe, and its casino is known everywhere as
The Casino. Staying in the central district of Monte Carlo is pricey and posh,
but there are more modest options as well above and alongside the main downtown.
