Provence, France: Cotes du Rhone
The sunny Cotes du Rhone region of France has tempted travelers with its wines practically since it was settled in 600b.c. by the Greeks. Today, family-run wineries offer an enticing selection of wines that are delightful on your palate, yet easy on your pocketbook.

Travelling to Europe in mid september,2006?
We plan to spend 3 days in Paris and 4 days around France. Could anyone suggest inexpensive lodging in Paris and around interesting places in France.Since this is my first trip outside the US,if anybody with experience suggest some important pointers such as must see places around France and how to get to difference points and accomodations that would be really helpful.
Also does it make sense to visit Venice only!
Thanks in Advance

Nimes, France: Bullfighting, French-style
Nîmes’ Arena, which is still in use, is considered the best conserved from ancient Rome. It’s another example of fine Roman engineering and propaganda. The arena still hosts colorful pageantry and macho-men still face dangerous beasts, ala Provencal style — meaning the bull dies of old age, not via the sword.
