Welcome to France

We have been to different parts of France starting with a train trip to Paris from Venice in 2013.  There were stops on the Rhine River in 2016 and stops on the Mediterranean coast in 2017 and 2018.   This let us see completely different areas of the country and all of them were beautiful.   Contrary to what you hear the people were nice to us and even went out of their way to help us in Paris on a couple of occasions.
