  Normandy Normandy Normandy is a land rich in history which is also perceived by the French as being endless miles of green countryside with abundant apple trees, cattle, creamy culinary specialities and fine cheese. For the Parisians, Normandy is the closest seashore to the city and attracts many artists and wealthy individuals who enjoy spending their week-ends in the elegant resort of Deauville.

  Ypres Ypres Ypres, 76 mi/122 km west of Brussels, became known throughout the world as a result of horrific World War I battles. Every night at 8 pm, buglers sound the Last Post at the Menin Gate to commemorate the soldiers who died there. The gate itself is inscribed with the names of 54,896 (mostly British) soldiers—a small fraction of those who perished in the battles. Totally obliterated during World War I, the town was triumphantly rebuilt afterward. Inside the "authentic" medieval cloth-trading house next to St. Martin's Cathedral, visitors will find the highly recommended In Flanders Fields Museum. It tells moving stories of the war. If you have time, tour the countryside around Ypres: It's dotted with war memorials and cemeteries (more than 150). Along the side of the road, you'll even see old, rusted-out ammunition shells. Be sure to visit the Hooge Crater Museum, with war memorabilia unearthed from the surrounding farmland and a unique collection of World War I uniforms, and the Hill 60 Preserve, where you can still see concrete bunkers from the war. Of the cemeteries, we especially recommend Tyne Cot (one of the largest and most impressive) and Essex Farm (where John McCrae, Canadian author of the poem In Flanders Fields, served as a medical officer). A guided tour of the war sites is not just an emotional experience but also an educational one.	Destination Guide
  Paris 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.	Destination Guide
  Amiens Amiens Amiens is a historic city in northern France, fought over during the First and Second World Wars. The Battle of Amiens in 1918 led directly to the Armistice with Germany that ended the war. Visit Amiens Cathedral, an awe-inspiring Gothic Cathedral and World Heritage Site, and tour the town that was rebuilt after WWII.
  Brussels Brussels Brussels's Upper and a Lower Town conjure up images of important buildings and long avenues and small, dark streets. Lower Town, the old Flemish quarter, contains the city's most famous sites, including its greatest landmark, Grand Place, and the Manneken Pis. It's also the location of around ten churches relatively close to each other; most of them from the Flemish Renaissance and Baroque periods. In Upper Town, you'll find King's palace, royal squares and various palaces from the eighteenth-century neo-classical Austrian period. The built-up business and residential areas are scrupulously broken up by frequent patches of green parks, which help account for the city's sedate, unfrenzied atmosphere. Around the city center are congregated many small, carefully laid-out parks that provide settings for statues and national monuments.	Destination Guide
  London London London is undoubtedly one of the world's finest cities. In addition to numerous monuments from its more glorious past, London is equally well-known for its pageantry and tradition.
