Building An Authoritative Travel Blog

Authoritative blogs seem all the rage at the moment but what exactly is an " Authoritative Travel Blog ?" Well my understanding of the matter is it is a blog that is not only very informative to the readers but that the information comes from authoritative type people in connection with what they are writing about.

Hopefully my articles below will give an insight on travel and travel related experiences from all over the world from many authoritative writers as they have been there and done that.

Articles will be and are published often and this means current travel experiences and up to date places to visit. If you have also visited these places or wish to comment then please do so remembering this blog is intended to family orientated visitors so please be respectful.

I have seen many fears raised through my article site and feel that any traveller today that, for one reason or another, decides against travel insurance then they are possibly being a little short sighted. We do not want our boats to sink but are happy to carry life rafts. travel insurance is a similar idea. We do not wish to ever claim on it but if things go wrong as they sometimes do it is a benifit to have the insurance.

Sightseeing Vacations : Travel To France

By Michael Mancienne

France is visited by over 82 million tourists each year, making it the hottest spot on the map. The Eiffel Tower alone attracts 6.2 million people each year. But apart from the culture and history of Paris, the country also offers beaches, fabulous countryside and skiing.

France is of course world-famous for its cuisine and so finding a fine dining experience is a simple task whether it be anything from a simple and affordable brassier or bistro to a Michelin starred restaurant. When you receive your restaurant bill, taxes and service charges will be included.

France is the home of wine and really is heaven for wine lovers who travel to France. Only the finest in quality and variety are offered, but it is important to be cautious with drinking prior to driving, as the French authorities are strict when it comes to drunk drivers. Beer is also quite popular, especially in Northern France.

The Ministry of Tourism rates every French hotel into four categories from a 1 to 4 star rating. This rating is demonstrated upon all hotel entrances on a blue crest. By law, all hotels must display their rates outside the establishment, or make them visible from outside, but don't be afraid to enter and ask for their best price.

A beneficial choice would be to book a city center hotel, as they are generally very small and quiet. Be sure to verify your parking procedures, particulary in the larger urban areas.

Bed and Breakfasts are mostly located in rural areas, and are called Chambres d'htes. They operate nightly, just like the motel-style hotels you'll find along the road.

If you plan to stay in France for an extended period of time you may want to consider renting a house, apartment, or a villa from a reputable travel website. This is also a good option if you plan to travel to France with a group of people.
