Comprehensive & Informative
27 Mar 2005
Format:DVD
I had watched the Paris and France videos by Rick Steves and Globe Trekker before I took the trip there. I found this video very informative, covering various cultural aspects as well as places not mentioned in the other videos.
True, some portion of the video footage appears to be taken years ago, but the commentary is much better in depth than all the others. I wish I had this video before my trip. Highly recommend.

Great resource

You know, I read all of the previous comments and was reluctant to buy the DVD as a result. However, there just aren't that many DVDs on France available at Amazon so I decided to take a chance any way. Frankly, I'm glad I did.
I was specifically looking for a resource that highlighted each region of France and that's exactly what this DVD did. So what if the clothing or hairstyles are a bit dated? It is still a wonderful introduction to the country at large.
I'm a teacher and I developed a lesson plan for students to study the various regions of France on their own. This DVD gives a great "taste" of each region without going into too much depth. It's just enough to spark curiosity and research. Do not be fooled by other reviews, I thought the DVD did exactly what I was looking for.
There are also extra video segments on the DVD that can be used as well. Again, they are a bit dated, but again they cover the essential France. I loved it!

Absolutely Superb...

What a wonderful surprise! I looked for a DVD travel documentary that would give me a good understanding of the various places to go in France. I stumbled across this one. I was amazed at how well they presented the highlights of France: of Paris, the history, the nature areas, the food and wine, the castles and villages, the Alps, the folk dances, the art and culture... The narrator told the story of France with great clarity and perfect Renaissance and Baroque music to match. I now have an excellent understanding of France and I know exactly where I want to visit. It opened a whole new and wonderful world. I highly recommend this DVD.
