"Liberté. Egalité. Fraternité." France--sister to America, the country Thomas Jefferson loved and explored, from its agriculture to its high refinement, from its governance to its noble architecture. France is a living museum of the wealth of the past and dynamism and vibrancy of the present.

Paris, City of Light, from Cathedral de Notre Dame to Haute Couture, Left Bank cafes, artists, and intellectual enlightenment to the Right Bank l'Opera, Louvre, Marais, and Champs-Elysees. From the Beaux-Arts Ball to Montmartre, le Metro to sport in the Bois de Bologne, Louvre to sidewalk artists, the delights of small bistros to the Tour Eiffel, theatre classique to the Comedie Française, French cinema to expansive Versailles, Paris is, in Ernest Hemingway's words, "a moveable feast."
