France !
So a few years ago, France was REALLY unpopular here in the states. We even started calling French Fries “Freedom” Fries— do you remember that? Well, that was pretty much one hundred percent media driven. France is a really great country if you can get past stereotypes. (1) The French don’t smell any worse than Americans. (2) I guarantee we can find our share of hairy pitted women in the good ol’ USA. (3) The people of France are not mean.
Immerse yourself in the culture of France. A beautiful language that sounds great even when they curse at you. Check out the Eiffel Tower.
Visit the Louvre Museum.
Get lost in the Palace at Versailles.
There are plenty other sites that I just don’t have the space to list. Seriously, if you neglect to travel to France because of out 2001-2006 issues with France you will be doing yourself a great disservice. Think of all the icons who were of French origin:
Napoléon Bonaparte
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Claude Monet
Pierre Cardin (I have on a Pierre Cardin scarf right now! lol)
Marie and Pierre Curie
If you don’t know who those people are—Google.com is only a click away.
Until Next time–Happy Travels,
