Featured Destinations
Paris
Paris, world capital of art and culture, gathers some of the most famous museums and monuments in the world. Like all the world's great capitals, Paris lives at a fast pace, by day, by night and especially at rush hours. Bear in mind that museums and monuments are often less crowded during the week. Sights that should not be missed include: The Louvre and the Musee d'Orsay. Visit any of the many others according to your tastes and interests: the Musee Picasso, Musee Rodin, Musee Carnavalet, Musee Marmottan and the Arab Institute are just a few. Essential Paris monuments are the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame cathedral, the Arc de Triomphe or the Grande Arche de la Defense.
Bayeux
Bayeux, one of Normandy's many great places, has retained its own history separate from the mystique of D-Day. Visit Bayeux's canal-laden downtown. Admire Bayeux Cathedral, a beautiful church modified to include a number of memorials from World War II. Most of Bayeux's war memorials are outside town. Other points of interest include museums dedicated to two very famous people: The museum of William the Conqueror contains Tapisserie - which depicts the region's history. The other museum is for Charles de Gaulle, who was the French leader during the German occupation. Outside town are two very significant war memorials - one of which is the Museum of the Battle of Normandy. Bayeux is within reach of a number of Normandy's other attraction, and has plenty of character of its own for those wishing to take a moment away from touring battlefields.
Basel
The third-largest city in Switzerland, Basel stands on the Rhine at the point where the French, German, and Swiss borders meet. At the entrance to the Swiss Rhineland, Basel is the capital of the half-canton of Basel-Stadt. On its borders are the French Vosges, the German Black Forest, and the Swiss Jura Mountains. Grossbasel, or Greater Basel, lies on the steep left bank, and Kleinbasel, or Lesser Basel, is on the right bank.
