The chapters of this book have been divided into 16 color-coded regions that reflect the diversity of France. These are based on the country's historical regions that were often defined by their geography and landscape as much as by their influence and power. Each has developed its own special flavor; its own architecture, cuisine, customs, music, dress, dialect and even language. The pages of the Eyewitness Travel Guide will give a taste of these areas and show you what there is to see and do. Annually revised and updated with beautiful new full-color photos, illustrations, and maps, this guide includes information on local customs, currency, medical services, and transportation. Consistently chosen over the competition in national consumer market research. The best keeps getting better!

Anyone have info on Beauvais France ? 🙃

Dilara I've been to Beauvais airport, if it counts 😂 This is the one low-cost airlines use instead of the more expensive ones closer to Paris. I've seen the cathedral from a distance, but I don't remember visiting it or the town itself, although I no doubt have, as a child, on a family outing from Paris.
It's a small town with a medieval heart surrounded by modern neighbourhoods, including quite a lot of social housing, 1-2 hours north of Paris. (edited) 2mo
Dilara It looks nice: https://www.aeroportparisbeauvais.com/en/tourism/translate-to-anglais-visiter-be... but it's probably not worth crossing the Atlantic for 😁. Although if you have a car, it could be a good base for visiting Amiens, Compiègne, Paris, and various small medieval cities.

TheBookHippie @Dilara Mr BookHippie has to travel there for work in about 10 months wondering if I should go 🙃 2mo

Dilara @TheBookHippie Oh you should definitely go then 😁
ETA: And when you've finished visiting Beauvais's historical center, you can drive to Chantilly ( https://chateaudechantilly.fr/en/ ) and the next day, to Compiègne and pretend you're Joséphine: https://chateaudecompiegne.fr/en/royal-and-imperial-palace. There's even a French/American museum close by! ( https://museefrancoamericain.fr/en ) (edited) 2mo
TheBookHippie @Dilara thx so much!!! I‘m excited. I loathe to fly so it has to be worth it! (edited) 2mo
Dilara @TheBookHippie You're welcome! It occurred to me that a reader and a hippie might be interested in Ermenonville, the resting place of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, the philosopher who inspired HD Thoreau and others.

There is a park (w/ Rousseau's cabin), a castle & a Wild West theme park (I'd steer clear of it unless you love Spaghetti westerns!) 2mo
TheBookHippie @Dilara oh my word!!!!!! Yes yes yes!!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️ 2mo

Happy Bastille Day! This awesome work of art by S. Jewell S. McGhee was in front of The Book House in Maplewood MO at the Let Them Eat Art festival tonight. #letthemeatart

LeahBergen Wow!! 7y
readinginthedark That's my favorite bookstore! I wish I would've driven in for the festival! 7y
mabell @readinginthedark It was fun! Unfortunately, the sun was setting, so the art didn't show up quite as well when we were there. 7y
mabell @LeahBergen It was amazing! I wish I could revisit to see the details. 7y
