Americans @ the Tour de France

Everyone have ever done a mistake in their life.
Some make a small mistake , but the others make the big one.
Some make a mistake that un-corrected one but many make a mistake that can be corrected.

Many people are entrapped in the economic problem, it is not always caused by their mistakes, but sometimes it is caused by the condition and time.
For example a man must take the credit cause he has to pay the hospital bills, and the same time the monthly payment must be paid. It  forces many people to take the credit soon. As we know sometime, it ’s so hard for a man to pay it back and then the interest  every months make the credit becomes higher and higher.

can be handle well

France is a country that has a wonderful variety of fishing from the
North through to the South and caters for fly fishing, course and game
fishing on a wide range of rivers and lakes. Plus there is plenty of
coast line for the sea angler to enjoy as well.

Carp fishing, cat fishing, not forgetting course and pike fishing
are just some of the holidays that you can enjoy in France and whilst
some places cater for the dedicated angler, others are more family
orientated with accommodation and activities for the non fishers.

There are several types of fishing holiday available and for trout
fishing, you would need to book from around the middle to end of March
up until around the first week of September, which is the only time
frame you are allowed to fish for trout in France.

In certain areas of France, salmon fishing is prohibited all year,
so it is always best to check on the area you are going, prior to
thinking that you will be able to get a licence for fly fishing, just
like that.

Every country has numerous different regulations and France is no
exception, with specific rules in place for what type of fish you can
catch, when you are allowed to catch certain species of fish and what
equipment you are allowed to fish with.

For some, this can be a daunting prospect, especially if you are not
fluent in French, and although in some areas it will be easier than
others to organise your fishing venue and licence, it is often easier
to pre-organise your fishing holiday, so do try and get as much
information as possible.

You must have a fishing licence to fish in rivers, streams and lakes
throughout France unless these are privately owned or booked as a
fishing holiday where the fishing licence requirements are normally
included, but it is advisable to check this out before you travel!

If you need to obtain your own fishing permit, these can usually be
obtained from the local fishing tackle shop or alternatively from the
local bar or tobac. But if you are not sure on what is required then
you can get advice from the local tourist information board, which can
also provide maps of where you can and cannot fish.

If you are only going to be on holiday in France for a short time,
then you can get what is known as The Carte de Peche de Vacances, which
covers an angler for up to fifteen consecutive days and can be used
between 1st June and 30th November. However, outside of these dates an
annual fishing licence is mandatory.

An annual permit may be used for the whole year but bear in mind
that this will only be for one department unless you get it stamped for
different areas that you may go to and this is something that you will
need for all fresh water fishing.

When it comes to catfish and carp fishing, you can get a licence to
do this in the local rivers or public lakes, but the majority of people
will want to opt for a carp fishing holiday on a dedicated lake. And
when you go to a dedicated privately owned lake for carp fishing, cat
fishing, etc, then you will not normally have to worry about getting
your own individual licence as this will already have either been
sorted out by the travel agency or the owner under their regulations.

Boats are allowed to be used quite a bit in France, but you may need
to have a separate part to your licence to enable you to use a boat,
even if it is only for baiting. But be careful if you have an echo
sounder in your boat, as you are not allowed to have both this and your
tackle in the boat at the same time!

Also, night fishing is prohibited in a lot of places in France, but
when on a private fishing lake, or if with the correct licence on
certain waters, this can be allowed. If not, then you can only fish
half hour after sunrise to half hour before sunset. Some places on the
rivers seine, rhone, mosselle, oise, madine and rhine, etc do allow
night fishing, but there are many places that do ban the use of a bivvy
or tent even if night fishing is allowed and you may only get away with
a brolly!

Sea fishing off of the Atlantic coast is excellent and you will be
pleased to know that a licence is not needed, and you can go out on a
boat to catch bass, conger eels and even tuna or surf cast for sea
bream to name but a few.

Fly fishing for salmon and trout is available in lots of public
canals and navigable rivers but as with most countries, these will also
contain other fish such as Pike, so beware! However some of the best
places to try your hand at fly fishing are often owned by groups and in
this case you would need to pay the owners for a permit to fish as well
as having your licence.

Some of the best salmon fishing in France can be found in the
Pyrenees Atlantiques and the river Loire is also a major salmon fishery
for France.

Some of the best fishing in France is for course fishing where you
will find lots of different species, but with carp, catfish and pike
being in abundance, especially in areas such as the Dordogne, Lot and
Charente Maritime. But if you like fishing for black bass, the river
Rhone is known as a premier bass fishery, as is the river Saone.

The fishing dates and times do vary each year in France, so it is
always advisable to check on these before planning your fishing
holiday, and at the end of the day, forget about the headaches of the
licences, just enjoy the whole experience and you too could be in with
a chance of catching a fish that has never been caught before!

With stunning surroundings and wonderful gastronomy really makes
France a top destination for golfers and from Biarritz to Brittany,
France can offer a great variety of uncrowded golf courses, which range
from the novice to the more experienced golfer. In fact some of the
very top rated courses in Europe can be found in France!

In the South there is a terrific variety of golf courses plus the
cuisine and temperate climate make this a great destination for all
year round golfing holidays.

Also, France is ideal for a golf break at any time of year, with
courses in all regions of France and with around a hundred new golf
courses having been built over the past few years, and over 500 in
total, you certainly have plenty of choice!

And although golf is a very popular past time in many countries, the
game does not have the same popularity in France as it does in places
like the United Kingdom, as they are more into sports such as cycling,
and this is probably why you can still get to experience golf in peace
and tranquillity at your own pace and not like being on a conveyor belt
or being rushed when you least need it!

Now the main golfing areas most people think of in France are
centred around places near to Le Touquet and Biarritz, but there are
numerous other excellent golf courses dotted all over the country and
some are still virtually undiscovered, which can mean some inexpensive
quality time for the golfer when travelling through France.

One popular area is Provence and the Cote d Azur which have golf
courses from Monte Carlo to the Pyrenees and one of these would make an
ideal destination for a longer golfing holiday especially with the
weather. But in the Rhone Alpes region are private hotels with their
own golf courses set amidst the stunning mountain scenery.

The fairways within the Loire and Burgundy regions are either a
short flight to France or easy drive for most people and are in the
ideal location for those that want other things to occupy them when not
on the golf course.

If you are looking for a golf weekend or golf holiday, there is so
much choice, but if you prefer a slightly cooler climate than the South
of France, then the regions of Brittany, Normandy and Pas de Calais are
good options, plus with well over 130 golf courses that are suitable
for most handicaps along with very reasonable green fees, the short
trip across the channel by ferry or short flight can make for a very
reasonable weekend break with your golfing friends.

And in the Ile de France region, which hosts the capital of France,
Paris, you have over 60 different golf courses to choose from, so it is
very easy to slip away from the city and have a day of peace and
tranquillity on the golf course with your work colleagues. Or if you
are on holiday with your family you could combine some sight seeing in
Paris with a half-day of golf while your family could enjoy some
delicious French food at the clubhouse in settings of absolute beauty.

We all realise that the Loire valley is famous for its chateaux, but
there are also numerous golf courses amongst the splendour of this
region and what better place to play a round of golf, then enjoy the
fine wine over a nice lunch before heading back to your accommodation.

Looking at the South West of France, which has a varied landscape
and culture is an ideal place to enjoy the French food, wine, maybe
even visiting some chateaux, glorious beaches, vineyards, distilleries
and museums, so this area has so much to offer besides the golf, of
which there are around 90 courses, which means that no one in your
holiday party will become bored.

However, if you love sight seeing, being able to see snow capped
mountains all year round or glorious beaches, then the South East of
France is definitely the place for you, and with well over 100 golf
courses to choose from, you will be spoilt for choice in this region,
although you may find that your budget dictates a little, as some of
the green fees can be far more expensive than the courses in the North
of France.

Another region is Sologne, which is situated just south of Orleans
and is famous for its lakes and its excellent hunting and fishing, yet
has now also become a popular destination for golfers, who like
experiencing the fine French food and wine in this area, and you will
find delights such as pheasant, partridge, venison, wild boar, carp,
eel and trout on the menu.

Yet the area around Bordeaux has now emerged as a great golfing area
where one can not only enjoy the courses amid vineyards, but also get
to experience the wine, which is another ideal place to enjoy the best
of both pleasures!

So whether you decide to arrange the golf holiday to France yourself
or go for a complete package holiday, you can discover fairways that
rank some of the best in Europe, plus some virtually undiscovered germs

There is a very good news for you … especially who lives at the United Kingdom and have a regular travel to The Europe….

Saint Denis is a suburb around 10km from the centre of Paris along the river Seine and has specific claims to fame.

The first is that the area was named after Saint Denis who became
known as the Patron Saint of France, where St Genevieve had a small
chapel erected over his tomb for pilgrims to visit.

The second is that it is known for the Saint Denis Basilica where a
vast majority of French Kings are also entombed here and this was
rebuilt on the site of the chapel.

The third is for The Stade de France, which is the new stadium that
was built to host the 1998 FIFA world cup and has seen many other
events since.

If you have time whilst you are on holiday in the Paris area, taking
a trip out to St Denis is a very worthwhile and enjoyable experience
for all the family. And although it used to be more of a working class
industrial area, it is again now a thriving community since the stadium
has been built.

The stadium was a major feat of engineering with a very clever
design that allows it to be changed from a football or rugby stadium,
through to a running track, through to holding rock and pop concerts.
This was all achieved by a cushion of air that allows the lower stands
to slide out in approximately 72 hours, dependant upon the different
configurations needed. And for the last few years has played host to
some very major sporting events including the FIFA World Cup and the
World Championships in Athletics.

Although the stadium is designed to hold 80,000 people, Celine Dion
broke the records with 2 nights of an attendance of 90,000 fans for
each night at her concerts! But rather than going to the stadium for an
event, you can take a tour of this fantastic place and walk the paths
of stars. But always check to ensure it is open for tours prior to
getting excited, as it will be closed on specific dates due to
functions and other major events going on.

But while in the area do take a stroll round Saint Denis itself, as
it has a well-known market, which is also one of the largest in the Ile
de France region and it plays host to numerous events every year.
Instead of just thinking about the Stade de France that holds sporting
events and concerts, festivals such as the festival of Saint Denis for
classical music and the Banlieues Bleues Festival for jazz music
amongst others are held in this area every year.

Yet if you are not into lively entertainment, perhaps you would be
more at home visiting the Basilique de Saint Denis, which even has life
size figures of the past monarchs that are entombed in it. And it is
steeped in history from when the basilica we see today was first begun
in the Gothic style way back in 1136 even though it was never finished
to the 13th Century. But you can trace the history right through to the
last king that was interred here, who was King Louis XVIII and is
comparable with Westminster Abbey in England where people still go and
worship.

The architecture and the beautiful stained glass windows that were
restored to their former glory, make for an impressive building and
today it remains the largest museum of funerary sculpture in France,
containing the tombs and recumbent statues of over 70 kings and queens.
Plus you will be pleased to know that it is open every day of the year
for people to go and visit.

There is something fascinating for everyone in St Denis and it is
well worth a short trip out if you have the time whilst you are on
holiday in this incredible area of France.

France is a very popular holiday destination but there are very many aspects to the type of holiday you could choose.

There’s the holiday where you pack the kids and all your belongings
into a taxi, drag it all onto a ferry or train, arrive in France hot
and stressed, take another taxi to your hotel in the centre of Paris
that you’ve paid an extortionate fee for, unpack and try to pacify the
kids.

You then spend the next fortnight experiencing the delights of
modern Parisian public transport. Jostling along with all the other
holiday makers as well as commuters, you’re only other option is taxi
cab but this can get expensive. You rush from one sight that you just
have to see to another, trying to cram in as much as possible.

At the end of the two weeks you can safely claim to have been to the
top of the Eiffel Tower and inspected the Mona Lisa in the Louvre
Museum among other expected things to have done in France. You’ve met
numerous English people who don’t actually live that far from you in
Britain and sampled the delights of the French interpretation of
English food. You arrive home as exhausted and stressed as before you
left.

Alternatively, you could try this.

Using car hire in France, take a leisurely drive down to Provence,
in the South of France. Rent out a private cottage in a sleepy little
village where the kids have unlimited space and fresh air. Get up when
you’re ready and indulge in a laid back breakfast of local fayre.

Warm croissants, fresh butter, local speciality cheeses and pastries
along with honey, fruits and deli meats can all be purchased from your
local village shop.

This area of France is known for its outdoor markets which serve as
much as a social function as a place to buy things. Life is taken at a
relaxed pace and afternoon siestas are still observed between 12.30pm
and 2.30. Hill top towns are best reached with car hire and here you
will get ample chance to mix with the friendly locals and get a real
taste of the simple French life rather than the slices of what is
portrayed to holiday makers.

If this is a little too laid back for your tastes, take your hire
car and make the most of all France has to offer. By all means, visit
Paris to see the famous landmarks but stop along the way. Visit the
innumerable flea markets in Lille, Northern France and test your
knowledge of antiques, maybe picking up a bargain or two.

If your taste is history and castles, drive you hire car to the
Loire Valley, just south of Paris, where there are over 120 chateaux
open to the public. There is the Burgundy region of France to satisfy
the taste buds of wine enthusiasts everywhere with its abundance of
vineyards. Wine tasting is an essential part of holidaying in France.
Wine tasting is essential, full stop!

A drive to Limoges will be well worth the fee of car hire in France
by itself. Birthplace of Pierre-Auguste Renoir, take a stroll through
the city streets and imagine what life would have been like for him
there. Look around and take a guess at what would have inspired Renoir
to produce some of his paintings. Pick up some perfectly different
souvenirs in the form of the famous porcelain that comes from this area
of France.

For botanical enthusiasts, try Montpellier in the South of France.
The country’s first botanical garden was planted here in 1593. The
University of Montpellier was the study place of famous prophesier
Nostradamus.

However you wish to spend your holiday in France, car hire is a
great way to get around. It puts you in charge of your own itinerary
and allows you to savour all the aspects of France that you would miss
out on if you sat in Paris for two weeks.

One of my favourite past times is to go mountain biking down
countryside trails and travel long distances from one town to another.
For me this is an enjoyable form of keeping fit and you have the added
benefit of appreciating the scenery. Mountain biking does not
necessarily have to be enjoyed in your own home territory and one can
be involved with mountain biking abroad. Places like France, Italy,
Spain, Africa and Australia.

Mountain biking in France is more popular than any other destination
because of the smooth and challenging trails that make biking here more
fun. The French Alps is famous for holding the popular Tour de France
biking event, whereby thousands of spectators come from all over the
world and support the contenders. The Alps is also popular with skiing
holidays and professional skiing competitions, which has placed the
French Alps as one of the top destinations for activity holidays.

The Tour de France has helped to keep the Alps to maintain its
reputation for being one of the best experience mountain biking in
France as a whole. The first Tour de France event began in 1903 and is
structured so it is partaken in stages rather than one long marathon.
History will reveal that the Tour de France was largely influenced and
inspired by the popular sporting magazine in France, called Le Velo.
Like most sporting magazines, this focussed on sporting events but also
included politic and current affairs in France.

Le Velo was produced and published to symbolise the innocence of
Alfred Dreyfus, who was accused and found guilty of selling secrets to
the Germans. There was a large division between the people of France,
with one side favouring his innocence and the other believing he was
guilty. Some of the advertisers were against what Le Velo stood and
were very much against the support of Dreyfus’s innocence. Those that
withdrew their advertising later published their own rival magazine.

L’Auto was established and to promote it the Tour de France began.
This was also a publicity spectacle to rival Le Velo and their event,
Paris-Brest et retour organised by editor Pierre Gifford. Originally,
the race was discussed to be a five weeklong tour, however with only 15
entrants this was then reduced down to just 19 days. Cycling journalist
Geo Lefevre and Editor Henri Desgrange announced the event on January
19th of 1903 - thus born a new trend of mountain biking in France.

The public were caught and drawn in by the event, from the growing
number of entrants (who were offered a daily allowance) and the
entertainment attractions (some amateur and unemployed entertainers).
The tour was split into stages of riding 400km, this saw the riders
riding into the night, which captured the spectators attention. After
the event, the magazine sales went from 25,000 copies sold to 65,000.
By 1933 when the Tour had finished Desgrange had received a record of
854,000.

L’Auto magazine was not a direct predecessor to the now popular
magazine L’Equipe, but was a spiritual figure and influence to the
current organisers of the Tour. This is not directly organised by
L’Equipe but is run by its owners called Societe du Tour de France. To
this day this is an event which has grown on a massive scale over the
years. This has influenced much of France to see many holidaymakers
take part in mountain biking in places like the French Alps, but also
open up other events like the Tour such as Giro d’Italia based in Italy
and Vuelta a Espana based in Spain.
