France Photo Gallery by Fay Stout at pbase.com

France

We love traveling to France and particularly enjoy the little villages and rural areas. We stay in B&B's, chateaux, and farms. We begin our adventure in Paris and then travel to the French countryside to partake of the scenery, the good food, good wine and meet some wonderful people along the way. Bon appetit!

A very nice and interesting gallery on France with some timeless images... Ah ! ...and, yes, your food pictures make me hungry! Even if France had changed a lot since 2007, fortunately some things remain the same...like cuisine and landscapes and architectures .... ! V.

I have enjoyed your France galleries so much. Here is the link to my partner's photos from one of our trips to France. Chantal has family there and her Mother, who s 94 years old, is French. She was living in Paris during the German occupation. Ni think you would enjoy the photos if you get a chance to take a peek.

Beautiful photographs, I have browsed through all your galleries, I am a teacher and I usually look for culture and animals images. I find your pictures very interesting and refreshing. May I use some of your images to print them out for an album? Its only for teaching purposes.

you did a spectacular job. Love all of them. wish I could go to France one day. My grandmother was born there and came to the US in 1920 at the age of about 22.

David Warren		09-Sep-2008 00:31
Thanks. Enjoyed the trip around France: the dogs, the meals, the small villages. I wish you'd take the time to add titles to more of your images -- they add a lot.

Like a Parisian, I like very much « play the tourist » in my city (particulary in the famous tourictic places, feeling myself like in holidays among (the most often) smiling and relax people … « what’s new under the sun ? … And I’m particulary touched by the look and the feeling that fave foreigh people on my city and on my country … You had a wonderful crop in France, at the same moment discerning and esthetic … Landscapess, architecture, slices of life … you caught, ewerywhere you were, through the prism of your own eye and sensibility, the mood of a while and so well know to pass it on … and a great report. :^)
