France

Destination guide

Paris

Marseille in France has more than 10 million passengers a year, but its setup looks well-equipped to handle many more.

Stylish and sophisticated yet relaxed and unpretentious, the boutique Hotel Norman could be a model for a cooler, more welcoming post-Olympics Paris.

The Mediterranean has no shortage of beautiful locations, but this 20-kilometre coastline on France’s Cote Bleue is different.

When in France, think local when it comes to food. But if you’ve got a taste for travel, venture further than a Parisian would.

If you need Wi-Fi access when you’re out and about in New York City you need to decide the best way to do this before you leave.

The Eiffel Tower may just surprise you, with interactive exhibits, Michelin-starred dining, a hidden apartment and a champagne bar in the sky.

Having lived in France for the past 15 years, I can understand why the French love camping – but without pitching a tent.

This breeze-blown port is flanked by beaches and wave-booming seas; the newer town has agreeable promenades, restaurants and markets.
