As with other places in Europe there is an art to drinking coffee in France, and a set of customs that only the locals seem to understand. Don't get caught out or you'll pay far too much or end up with something you did not expect.

If you're heading to Le Mans near the Loire Valley in April and May check out the Europa Jazz festival. It starts on April 16 and goes through till May 9.

If you want to tour the Moulin Rouge, Versailles, the Loire Valley or the River Seine with informative guides and useful information consider using our tour booking engine and still travel independently.
