Andorra Travel Guide
Andorra is its own little world, and not just because it’s a 290-square-mile independent principality (or a fifth the size of Rhode Island). Nestled atop some of the highest peaks of the Pyrenees, the principality is filled with amazing architecture, surreal panoramic views and some of Europe’s finest skiing resorts. Andorra attracts many tourists and travelers for its duty-free shopping alone.

French D.C.
for those seeking a French Connection with a city both historic and history-making, Washington, D.C. may not be at the top of your list. And you’d be Wrong. When last I visited Washington, the city exuded: “I am Important! History! Knowledge! Power Live Here.” Perhaps the drama was somewhat self-created, with the knowledge that a little piece of Paris was already in town. But it did seem the French language was thick in this walker-friendly city, unless my imagination was running on overtime.

French Tucson
What? You don’t think there’s anything remotely French about Tucson, Arizona? Boy, are you wrong. For one thing, Tucson is a hauntingly beautiful city of extremes: sweeping desert on one hand and lush Southwest flora and fauna on the other. Hint: It’s a metaphor. For Paris. Not Hilton.

Paris in Las Vegas
Can the enigmatic City of Light be emulated in the schizy city of Las Vegas? It’s a stretch, but if you do your homework and stay away from the slots, you’ll find more than a soupcon of, oh, je ne sais pas, l’essence de Paris.
