Vacation rentals for France and the rest of the world
I have visited Paris before in the 70's. There were no such thing as Internet then. Now with this great modern extremely useful creation, you can do lots of things, like booking your accommodation in France ahead of your arrival, something I was unable to do in the 70's. So now you know how fortunate you are. Anyway if you plan to go to France, book your accommodation online in the convenience of your home via FRANCE VACATION RENTALS.
The above site is not for France alone. You can book holiday accommodation around the world at vacation rentals. And it is not only for vacationers looking for accommodation. Vacation rental property owners can gain wide exposure for their rental properties by clicking on "List my rental" at the top right of that page. And you don't need to worry if your property proved to be popular and you get lots of booking, for you don't need to pay referral fees. You only pay an annual fee and that is it.
France have some wonderful beaches fronting the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. However, I doubt very much if you can get the warm, crystal-clear emerald water that you can get in Hawaii. And you will get a difference in customer service. Refer to this post FRENCH CUSTOMER SERVICE to read about what that blogger has to say. And my personal experience when I visited France in the 70's? The French are chauvinistic, very proud of their French language and hate English speaking people. How do I know? I have tried asking for help in English in France before. The people in Hawaii are very friendly.
If the above convince you to visit Hawaii, book your accommodation via Hawaii vacation rentals. However is not a single almost homogeneous piece of land like France. It consist of hundreds of islands and atolls, but there are only 8 main islands. There are shades of differences between the islands. Kauai has a Garden of Eden like environment while Oahu, with Hawaii's capital city, Honolulu, is more
Garden-of-Eden-like Kauai a world away from Oahu, with the urban metropolis of Honolulu as its hub, is more urban. Hilo of the Hawaii Big Island is more mountains, volcanoes and nature while Kona is more beaches and big hotels. Maui has black sand on one beach and red sand on another. Maui is the second largest island of Hawaii and reputedly have some of the most friendly and welcoming people. Maui is multi-cultural with many of its local residents have Caucasians, Chinese, Portuguese, Samoan, Tongan, Korean, Puerto Rican, African American and Okinawan ancestry. Maui must be one of the more attractive island of Hawaii based on the number of people who have visited Maui before and eventually decided to settle down there. It also have Wailea, a town with many high class hotels, holiday resorts, condominium, exclusive golf courses and tennis clubs. It attracts lots of celebrities. Paris Hilton is a frequent visitor, among others. Paris Hilton was reported to visit Maui after her recent release from prison. Wailea is expensive, but there are cheaper alternatives.

Reasons to visit the Dordogne region of France
Reasons to visit the Dordogne region of France
by: Marcus Smith
There are many reasons to visit and explore the Dordogne region of France. Some of the key highlights inlude:
The Lascaux cave paintings are mostly pictures of large animals, including the 'auroch' - a now extinct early relative of the ox (it is thought that the Auroch was worshiped as a sacred beast in prehistoric times). Truly a remarkable experience, and you quickly forget that you are looking at modern day replicas.
Wander through the back streets around the cathedral to get a feel for how the town must have been 500 years ago.
Les Eyzies is also home to the National Prehistory Museum which houses one of the world’s most complete collections of prehistoric artefacts. Just a couple of hundred metres from the National Prehistory museum is Abri Pataud, a cro-magnon shelter dating back almost 40,000 years. The cave-lined Vézère valley has been classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO
Each has its own impressive tale to tell of centuries of conflict, often between the French and the English during the Hundred Years War, and each has its own magnificent views over the surrounding countryside.
Several other villages in the immediate vicinity also have the award.
The Dordogne region provides a glimpse into a world virtually unchanged as the centuries have unfolded, and a visit is always an unforgettable experience.

There are many reasons to visit and explore the Dordogne region of France. Some of the key highlights inlude:
Lascaux caves
The prehistoric paintings at Lascaux are probably the most renowned cave paintings in the world. The cave paintings you can now visit are a copy of the prehistoric paintings contained in the original Lascaux caves, 200 metres away, because human breath was damaging the originals. The replica paintings have been made using the same materials and techniques as were used for the original paintings, 19,000 years ago.The Lascaux cave paintings are mostly pictures of large animals, including the 'auroch' - a now extinct early relative of the ox (it is thought that the Auroch was worshiped as a sacred beast in prehistoric times). Truly a remarkable experience, and you quickly forget that you are looking at modern day replicas.
Sarlat
Sarlat is a beautiful medieval town a few kilometres north of the River Dordogne. The old town, dating from both medieval and renaissance times is a pleasure to visit, especially during the spring and autumn, or early in the morning. If you can catch the early morning sunshine on the yellow sandstone buildings, so much the better.Wander through the back streets around the cathedral to get a feel for how the town must have been 500 years ago.
Les Eyzies
Les Eyzies is at the centre of a very beautiful area, in the Vezere Valley, with numerous cliff and rock formations, surrounded by rivers, hills and tranquil countryside. At the centre of prehistoric life in Europe, there are several interesting cave systems and prehistoric relics to visit around Les Eyzies.Les Eyzies is also home to the National Prehistory Museum which houses one of the world’s most complete collections of prehistoric artefacts. Just a couple of hundred metres from the National Prehistory museum is Abri Pataud, a cro-magnon shelter dating back almost 40,000 years. The cave-lined Vézère valley has been classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO
Chateaux
In the Dordogne region there are reputed to be 1001 chateaux. Many of the most magnificent are open to the public. Start perhaps with the Chateau de Commarque, Chateau de Castelnaud, or (my personal favourite) Chateau de Beynac, set high above the Dordogne river and the attractive village of Beynac.Each has its own impressive tale to tell of centuries of conflict, often between the French and the English during the Hundred Years War, and each has its own magnificent views over the surrounding countryside.
Most beautiful villages
There are several villages in the Dordogne region that have received the prestigious ‘Most Beautiful Villages of France’ award. These include Monpazier, a perfectly preserved medieval bastide town to the south of the region; La Roque-Gageac, a picture postcard village spread out along the Dordogne river, with troglodyte dwellings and a tropical garden spreading up the cliff behind; and Beynac, mentioned above for its castle but equally attractive as a village in its own rightSeveral other villages in the immediate vicinity also have the award.
The Dordogne region provides a glimpse into a world virtually unchanged as the centuries have unfolded, and a visit is always an unforgettable experience.

Discover the Paris-Beauvais Airport
Discover the Paris-Beauvais Airport
by: Jeff Steiner
Over the last few years there has been an explosion of cheap flights to a number of high profile tourist destinations in France. Budget airlines like RyanAir and easyJet are now offering daily flights to such well-known French tourist destinations, as Paris, the French Alps, Toulouse and the south of France.
These cheap flights often arrive at out of the way unknown airports. Airports, that before the low cost flights arrived where little used. Take for example, Ryan Air’s flights to Paris. They arrive at the Beauvais-Tille Airport, a little known regional airport north of Paris.
Beauvais Airport is a small local airport typical of those used by no thrills airlines like RyanAir. You get what you pay for, space is limited. Never the less the Beauvais Airport has everything that any airport needs. There is friendly staff, restaurant and bar, overnight parking and of course because it is small you don’t have to walk far to get to your flight. There is also car hire on the airport grounds and local hotels nearby.
The best way to get to Beauvais Airport is with the regular shuttle service. This coach service runs between the Beauvais Airport and Paris and is timed to the RyanAir flight schedule. Buses leave from Paris three hours before each departure and from Beauvais Airport 20 minutes after each arrival. The coach leaves Paris at Porte Maillot (Metro and RER stop Porte Maillot) on Boulevard Pershing, near the Concorde Hotel. Coach tickets can be bought online (They need to be obtained more than 24 hours in advance. There is a 2-euro processing fee when you buy on the Internet) or at the coach station in Paris or of course at the Beauvais Airport. Seating for the coach is reserved for those passengers with a airline ticket.
The travel time to Beauvais from Paris is about an hour and a half. Don’t let this throw you, yes that sounds long but getting to Paris’ main airports - Orly and Charles de Gaulle can at times take over an hour, if not longer depending on how you travel. All the cost of getting to the Beauvais Airport is not that much more than travelling to either Charles de Gaulle or Orly.
There are a number of other budget airlines other than RyanAir that serve the Beauvais Airport, including BlueAir, Norwegian Air Shuttle, Sterling European Airlines and WizzAir. These airlines fly to many major European destinations: Barcelona, Dublin, Copenhagen, Rome and Venice, just to name a few.
So if you are traveling on a budget should you use the Beauvais Airport? Is it really worth it? That depends; the flights offered can be a great value at times. Just know what you are getting into, you need to add 15 euros and about an hour and a half to each way (the cost and travel time of the coach). Also make sure there are not any other cheap flights going to another Paris airport, like Orly.
For more information about the Beauvais Airport see - http://www.beauvais-airport.com/.

The Champs Elysées
The Champs Elysées
by: Jakob Jelling
The Champs Elysées is one of the most famous areas of not only France but Europe and the entire world as well. This area can be visited through the Champs Elysées Avenue, which goes from the Arc of Triumph to the Place de la Concorde. This is one of the main spots which tourists who visit Paris could not miss, due not only to its beauty but also to its historic past.
The Champs Elysées Avenue contains several theaters, shops, cafes, restaurants and cinemas at its sides towards the western area, and the Jardins des Champs Elysées towards the area of the Place de la Concorde. This way, there is a wide range of different activities available to those visitors who might walk from one end of this Avenue to the other, so many that they might need more than one day to fully explore them.
The Jardins des Champs Elysées is a very beautiful place to visit, especially for those visitors who enjoy nature. This place contains amazing gardens, highly cared and carefully arranged combined with fountains, and providing an overall image of a healthy and cared open space.
The Champs Elysées Avenue is the first choice for any important celebration in Paris. During celebrations such as New Year's Eve, this area receives an amazing amount of people who congregate at it. Also, national events such as the commemoration of historical events are held on the Champs Elysées Avenue and the surrounding area.
The Champs Elysées Avenue became such in the 1600's after the Medicis decided to create a path surrounded by trees in the area. Before that, this area consisted on fields and gardens, and it was not until much later that it did take the form of Avenue which nowadays has.
In 1994, the Champs Elysées Avenue area was redesigned and had a few changes which made it have a slightly different appearance. Among the main changes visitors could observe, there is the addition of more trees and the creation of pedestrian zones at the side lanes, very convenient for tourists who wish to observe the area while walking.
