France

9 On The Town shows you France like you've never seen it.  

First off, France by air.   There's no better way then by helicopter to see one of the most romantic of all European cities -- Paris.   From this vantage point the entire city can be seen in one giant sweep, including Paris most famous landmark, the Eiffel Tower.   Then it's off to the Loire River Valley on the outskirts of Paris.   Here amongst the beautiful French countryside is tapestry of quaint towns and extravagant castles and chateaux.   And with a helicopter, you'll be able to visit many of these historic landmarks all in a single day.   And if helicopter rides weren't breathtaking enough, how about hot air balloons?   There's no sensation like gliding along the beautiful French countryside, where ballooning was invented.

Once you've seen France by air, you must also see France by water. One thing about France that people don't realize is that it's criss-crossed by an astounding array of canals, more than 600 of them.   Although they began as means to bolster the French economic and transportation infrastructure by Napoleon in the 19 th century, today is has somewhat of a different purpose.   The Liberte, 100 ft. barge that has turned into a scaled down luxury cruise can take travelers along the canals in comfort and style.   But after spending 10 days on a barge, you may want to try the open ocean.   And what better way then on a yacht in the French Riviera, where you can rub shoulders with the rich and famous and not even know it.

Whether by air or sea, the there is no escaping the beauty and history of one of our most beloved countries France.
