France - the great unpackaged adventure
is so easy to get to yet still unspoilt
full of charm, fabulous fogd and
wonderful wines.
Huge slices of the country are still
unknown to many tourists who pass
through some of the most spectacular
and peaceful countryside in Europe
heading for the overcroweded South -
while many of the rest of us know
France only as the destination of our
cheese and wine buying day trips.
If you've taken the time to discover
the country you'll know there's much
more to it than that! more follows >

Rural France is tailor made for a
motoring holiday. A freewheeling
holiday spent discovering new hotels
and exquisite cuisine each night is
one of life's great pleasures.
Hotels are generally reasonably priced
and, if you shop around, some are
unbelievably cheap. You pay wor the
room - so a young family sharing can
tour very reasonably. The food and
wine is magnificent almost everywhere -
avoid roadside cafes and the more
obvious tourist stops and you'll find
amazing prices and quality.

Traditional package holidaymakers head
for the stay-put beach style hotel and
self catering deals on the Algarve and
Estoril coasts.
But there is now a growing band of
tourists who have discovered the
meaning of the word "tour". They are
hiring a car and finding the "real"
Portugal.
Usually working to fixed itineraries
they stop at a different hotel each
night after a day following their own
route. The hotels range from simple
Pousadas to former Palaces.

Eating and drinking are invariably
very cheap in Portugal, nowhere more
than in the Algarve where there is
the added attraction of being able to
eat outdoors.
Fish plays an important part in tourist
meals - with clams, sardines and prawns
always in demand. Another popular dish
is Chicken Piri-Piri, a spicy dish
which goes down particularly well with
a cooling glass of crisp Vinho Verde, a
delightful local wine. A good meal for
two should not cost more than £6!
