Worldwide Riding Vacations : A Global Guide - Not just a guide to dude ranches, this handsome updated edition lists more strenuous and interesting equestrian trips by continent and then by country. Printed on heavy coated stock and illustrated with many color photographs, it includes over 100 entries. Each lists the company, address, phone number, E-mail, FAX, closest airports, price, and when available.

The Riches of Paris  Maribeth Clemente can help you find the auctions, the flea markets, the antique shops, and the wonderful tucked-away fashion boutiques of the Left Bank, Bastille, and Republique better than just about anybody. In this window to all that Paris has to offer the shopaholic are thorough descriptions of each shop and its products, plus all the details you'd expect to find -- addresses, phone numbers, opening hours, Web sites, and price ranges. She even gives you great tips on how to handle what will surely be your biggest challenge: packing the suitcase.

www.SailingAdventure.com helps you find the best in Southern France. With moderate breezes, multiple anchorages, various landscapes, the sunshine-guaranteed Côte d’Azur is charming in so many different ways. It is a privileged navigational zone bursting with ports, towns, villages and islands. You will navigate from one pleasure to the next, whether it be navigational, gastronomic, or cultural. Corsica : discover the wonders of the ‘island of riches’, its landscapes, the beauty of its wild, protected nature, its clear waters in various shades of blue, the typically Mediterranean bright luminosity, so unique you’ll soon see why so many sailors are under Corsica’s spell.

Euro-Bike & Walking Tours has been in business for over 30 years offering bike and walking tours in both popular destinations, such as Provence and Tuscany, as well as many out-of-the-way places, such as  Switzerland, Denmark, Germany, Belgium, and Eastern Europe. Places where you'll find Europeans enjoying the outdoors, but very few Americans. Whether you're a biker or a walker (or both) you'll find  a wide selection of tours all over Europe. As Europe is their home, they know the routes and regions inside out. They provide airport and hotel transfers at the start and end of each tour, 24-hour customer service while on tour, experienced professional guides, van support, and countless other amenities. Check their web site often for special Internet-only discounts and promotions. www.durobike.com.

The Wine Country...For some interesting things to do in the Wine County of France, click on Moët & Chandon. This site will give you a lot of good suggestions for places to see how wine is made and perhaps take a taste or two!

Champs-Elysees offers monthly French audio magazines for the intermediate to advanced speaker designed to take their speaking and listening comprehension to the next level. Every issue takes the form of an hour long radio broadcast featuring interviews with French celebrities as well as up to date news from the worlds of art, business, literature, politics etc. Previous guests on the programs include Brigitte Bardot, Francois Mitterand, Juliette Binoche and Jacques Chirac. Each magazine comes with a complete transcript and a comprehensive glossary together with optional linguistic exercises. The magazine is available on both CD and cassette.  I have found that being able to speak at least some of the language really helps you enjoy your visit to a foreign country more.  Check Champs-Elysees and see how you can become more familiar with the French language and people.  Jim.
