Rhône

Roman remains, mediaeval testimonies and Romanesque architecture: on the banks of the Rhône, Arles beckons you to travel through the ages, on the threshold of eternity as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. At the gates of „Little Rome“, the natural landscape of the Camargue with its pink flamingos, white wild horses and wide sand dunes is also fascinating. Even Van Gogh was inspired by the play of colors of Provence and seduced by the southern charm of the city. Art lovers can follow in the footsteps of the master thanks to marked routes and stop off at the famous „Night Café“ on the Place du Forum. Today, the former seat of government of Emperor Barbarossa is a place filled with possibilities, where monumental buildings stand in harmony with modern museums.

Viviers Châteauneuf-du-Pape

Viviers Situated on the right bank of the Rhône, Viviers looks like a sleeping beauty. Having been fully preserved, the historic town center provides a fairy-tale backdrop for a journey back to times long gone. A walk through winding alleys leads from the lower town, where merchants and craftsmen lived in the Middle Ages, to the upper town, once the refuge of the well-to-do and clergy. Here, the richly decorated façade of the Maison des Chevaliers reveals ever new details. From the smallest cathedral in France, the Cathédrale Saint-Vincent, it is not far to the Belvédère de Châteauvieux. This excursion is rewarded with a magnificent view over the tiled roofs of the town and the Rhône valley.

Le Havre With its more than 170,000 inhabitants, Le Havre is the busiest city in Normandy. Located directly on the English Channel, the port city lies in the northwest of France. Thanks to the work of architect Auguste Perret, the city center has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its unique architecture. The Saint-Joseph Church in the heart of the city is a monumental building consisting of several thousand glass blocks. The city hall of Le Havre, with its tower more than 70 meters high, is also impressive site to see. In all of Europe, there is no larger town hall square than in this French city.

Paris Professing one‘s love for the city of thousand lights is not that hard to do. This is ensured by the exciting contrasts between the magnificent boulevards and the small alleys with their countless brasseries, boutiques, antique stores and galleries, for example in the Marais. The beautiful riverside promenades and bridges of the Seine are an indispensable point of attraction. But even those who stroll away from the tourist crowds should not miss the sights such as Montmartre, the Eiffel Tower as well as the Champs-Élysées and the Jardin du Luxembourg.
