The English and the French have had a love/hate relationship over the centuries. The neighbouring powers were at war throughout most of the medieval period, even as far as the 18th century England and Napoleon's France were at loggerheads.
These divisions only emphasise the similarity between the two peoples. France is still today the most popular holiday destination for British people. There is a fascination with the French way of life amongst the English that continues.
It is also frequently the first foreign country Brits visit. Roy went on a Seine cruise with school, whilst Andrew visited in 1979 with his parents and sister.
The capital is, of course, Paris - the city of romance which likes to call itself "The City of Lights", and one of Europe's great destinations, but the country is so much more than it's capital.
France has an enviable variation of scenery from the rolling country of the north, through the Alps and Massif Central to Provence and the Mediterranean coast and throughout is full of historic and exciting villages, towns and cities.
France is, after all, the most visited tourist destination in the world!

Paris - Andrew, his Parents and his Sister - 1979
Andrew doesn't remember very much about this trip to Paris which happened when he was 10. He remembers it being very hot; has vague memories of the apartment we stayed at and not being able to find much to eat!
Andrew recently (2019) came across some old negatives of pictures taken during the trip and they are below for your delectation.
