Off the trail in France
However, it is hard to resist the impression that the true charm of France is hidden in its towns, winding streets, old towns, and cozy cafes. There is authenticity in these places, which is lacking in commercialized centers on the main tourist route. Find out for yourself by visiting the artistic Giverny , the charming Chartres with its majestic cathedral and the small Beaune , whose showpiece is the Hotel Dieu - the exquisitely designed former hospice. Maybe you will even manage to reach the very end of France, to the atmospheric Quimper ?
