La Belle France
I do a lot of research and reading in the course of planning for a trip and I’ve gathered together here the sites and books that I found most helpful. I’ve also included some recommendations for books, movies and music to help get you in the mood. I hope you find the information on these pages useful, and if you do, please let me know.
The links on this page are for France is general. For more specific links please visit the specific resource pages.
