Located at the heart of France’s hexagonal territory, Auvergne is a sparsely populated land of volcanic plateaus and large valleys. Unlike the Alps to the east or the Pyrénées to the southwest, its highest peaks reach only 6,000 feet above sea level and are free of snow in summer. The local authorities? efforts to safeguard the environment have made Auvergne one of the last protected zones in Europe.
Before going to Auvergne, familiarize yourself with its history and its gastronomy.
I’ll be in France from 12 – 20 Sept. Does anyone know what kind of weather I should be expecting? Helps to know so that I can pack the appropriate clothing….thanks!
1 Read MoreHello I am looking to avoid the lines at Versailles. I want to purchase a ticket online that includes both versailles and the train ride to the castle.
I have heard that one exists and would like to arrive in Paris with the ticket in my pocket. Does anyone know where I can get one online?
Thanks

5 Read MoreLance Armstrong closed out his amazing career with a seventh consecutive Tour de France victory Sunday — and did it a little
earlier than expected.
Because of wet conditions, race organizers stopped the clock as Armstrong and the main pack entered Paris. Although riders were still racing, with eight laps of the Champs-Elysees to complete, organizers said that Armstrong had officially won.
The stage started as it has done for the past six years — with Armstrong celebrating and wearing the race leader’s yellow jersey.

I am planning to go to France and the Beneluex countries in September. I have never been to France so I am unsure where to go. I plan to go to Paris, then take a night train to Nice, stay a few days then take the train to Bordeaux before going back to Paris and then on to Brussels. Can anyone tell me useful information about Nice and Bordeaux? Are they worth visiting or are there better places to go?
Thanks in advance

Some people have come to me asking why they cannot register/make an account on the forums. The create an account feature is caught in some sort of feedback loop. Was this done intentionally, because no new people are being permitted to make new accounts?
