Vimy Ridge
Arras, in the north of France, is like another country after having been to Paris and in Provence. The influence is more from Belgium or Germany, and it is colder with more precipitation. I stayed there in a youth hostel because it is the closest hostel t... more - travel report by

My favourite location on Earth!!!
Paris, the capital of France and one of the most beautiful cities of the world... I get pathetic when I just hear the name! I went there for the first time on March 4th, 2002. I only wanted to learn French and go home, but it grew into an unforgettable ex... more - travel report by

UMMMMM Paris
Uhhh, Ummmm, Paris is the capital of France and has all sorts of old things to see and climb on. Also, lots of non-parisian individuals. I have heard that French people are arrogant and snotty, but I found the tourists visiting Paris to be the arrogant an... more - travel report by
