  1. Agree there are no end of luxurious places to visit in France, but nothing beats being on the Mediterranean coast with fine wine and local fresh food.

  2. A great whistlestop tour of the luxurious travel destinations in France. I would also point out Courchevel 1850, which has to be among the Top 3 Ski resorts in the world.
