In a former Soviet period in Russia this joke was rather popular:
Two old friends talk, and one speaks to another:
- The spring has come again, and again I want to go to Paris.
The second reasonably notices:
- Have you visited Paris last spring?
- No, but a year ago I wanted to visit it as much as this year…
Modern Paris – beer and kebab…

For many of us France associates with always elegant ladies, fashion, cheese and wine, frog pads, Peugeot and Renault. It’s a deceptive stereotype. Other rules and laws reign in the country nowadays. Modern France is hundred thousands of women dressed in hijab, the whole sea of the Chinese and Turkish consumer goods, beer and döner kebab, and the place of the French cars is occupied with foreign marks even more often. For someone it might seem unreal, we suggest to “walk” on some stereotypes which have developed in our consciousness about this remarkable European country.

According to tourist guidebooks there are forty two ancient Château (so Frenchmen name castles) on river banks, however separate sources testify that there are about three hundreds of them.

Paris – is good! But it’s not all France…

Many people when France is mentioned imagine Paris with its well-known Tour Eiffel and Champs Elysée. And if the interlocutor says he or she is going to visit France thus without having visited the country’s capital, the most typical remark might be “What do you wish to see there? France is only Paris!” But actually it is the most interesting European country each region of which will necessarily surprise even the most prejudiced tourist. Lyon differs from Nice the way Vladivostok differs from St. Petersburg, and each (even the smallest) French city has the distinctive features inherent only in it.
When you decide to make a trip to France but have no accurate view on where to go, we recommend to pay attention to Aquitania department which administrative centre is Bordeaux – the native land of the well-known wine with the same name.
