I like to travel.  I have never been to Europe and have been looking for places to visit for my next vacation.  One of the countries I know I want to see is France. I usually check the web during the planning stages of any trip. If I need France accomodations I will hit the web and see what places are available and the cost. I also like to read reviews of people that have stayed there. Sometimes you have to take them with a grain of salt but overall I find them helpful. When I go on the trip I always make sure I have a pocket travel guide. There are plenty to choose from so I know I will have a France travel guide with me too. The movie Eurotrip mentions Frommers a lot. Movies don’t steer you wrong so that might be a good one to look at. Planning the trip is usually one of my favorite things to do. It builds anticipation for the trip and gives yo something to do while you count the days down to your next vacation.
