There's Paris, of course, the Basque coast, the Gironde, Provence and the Côte d'Azur, the châteaux of the Loire, the mountain ranges in summer and winter, but also lesser-known destinations that are just as magical...

So it's hardly surprising that Direction Italy has established itself as the media of reference for this fascinating destination!
