France has long been an attraction for shoppers because of its unique place in the forefront of fashion, however, for some time has been out of tune with modern social habits as many stores have by law had to close on Sundays.That's about to change as the National Assembly in France voted this week to relax the laws on Sunday shopping. So now instead of being limited to being able to buy bread and a few other necessities on a Sunday morning, it will soon be possible to have a more complete shopping experience.Holidays in France become much easier as...

Each summer there the many free concerts and performances in Cote d'Azur in France.

Restaurants in France have been given a huge boost by the French government, which in a bid to boost the economy has recently voted to change the VAT rules, leading to reductions in the cost of restaurant and café meals by as much as 10%.

South of France accommodation and skiing seems an unlikely combination, but having spent a delightful day skiing in Greoliere les Neige, I am now sat on my balcony in a T-Shirt in the sun, with a view over the Mediterranean, reflecting on what a fabulous way to holiday that is at this time of the year.Skiing conditions this year are as good as they have been the last for 20 years in the Alps in general, but especially in the southern French Alps. Few are aware of the close proximity of a number excellent ski resorts to the coastline Mediterranean....

The beautiful resort of Saint Tropez, which shot to fame in the sixties in part because of the popularity of French icon Brigitte Bardot is usually full of big name stars. But not so far this year. Denzil Washington arrived recently, but there is a distinct feeling that he is a rare gem: this is a most exceptional occurrence; so much that mainstream French TV News carried a feature bemoaning this strange state of affairs.The...

The annual French music festival or Fete de la musique as it is know in France is a remarkable event which brings the whole country alive with a vast array of musical performances for a whole day each year.The driving force behind the festival de music was Maurice Fleuret (put forward by minister Jack Lang) who as director of music back in 1981 took up the idea of “music everyway and concerts nowhere”. Understanding that five million young French people either played an instrument or sang, in other words one in two, Fleuret essentially...
