French Ski Resorts
The most famous ski resort in the French Alps is Chamonix-Mont-Blanc. Chamonix is both the oldest and the biggest French winter-sports resort. Site of the first Winter Olympics, held in 1924, Chamonix boasts the world’s highest cable car (12,000 feet). From the top, the view of Mont Blanc, at 15,700 feet, is stunning.
Chamonix Ski Resort
Visitors to Chamonix can do more than ski, though. There are conferences, a science fair, fishing and hunting, various music and folk festivals, and an alpine museum. An 18-hole golf course will delight golfers, and three movie theaters provide enough viewing entertainment for even the dedicated film buff. Five dancing spots, or discotheques, will keep the under-30 entertained, while the health-conscious adventurer can indulge in day-sports like cycling, mountain climbing, hiking, horseback riding, swimming, tennis and ice skating.
Chamonix is part of the Ski Pass Mont Blanc Area, and provides access to more than 140 individual pistes, or dedicated ski runs covering more than 94 miles. A dedicated Ski Pass will provide access not only to Chamonix, but Argentière, Combloux, Cordon, Le Tour, Les Contamines, Les Houches, Megève, Passy Plaine Joux and St. Gervais Mont-Blanc as well. A good portion of the dedicated runs are above 8,200 feet, so year-round skiing is guaranteed. Chamonix also has 54 snow machines to provide adequate base and good terrain, and 49 lifts capable of transporting more than 52,000 passengers per hour.
Megève Ski Resort
Megève is built around a medieval heart, but boasts the kinds of amenities all travelers and ski enthusiasts will appreciate. Expensive and stylish, Megève was built in the 1920’s as a resort alternative to St. Moritz, and has continued to upgrade and attract discerning travelers ever since. Fortunately, you won’t need star status to enjoy one of the luxurious hotels or chalets, though you will need a sizeable vacation fund; Megève is not cheap.
The ski area, 185 miles of marked trails, has 81 integrated lifts – no T-bars for luxurious Megève. If you get there in the right year, you may even be able to witness a World Cup race, hosted on a regular basis (Chamonix was the site of the 2007-2008 race). If you get off on snowboarding, Megève also has two snow parks and a half-pipe (for the unfamiliar, think of a skateboarding park with snow). Megève gets 80 inches of snow a year, making for good to very-good base, and supplements Nature with 175 snow-making machines. Méribel, located in the center of the Three Valleys (the biggest, linked winter sports area in the world), has 200 lifts and 372 miles of dedicated trails.
Méribel Ski Resort
Méribel used to be an intermediate site, but opening up Mont Vallon and the top of the valley have made it a destination-must for extreme skiers as well. The wooden chalets, many owned by British tourists who favor the ski slopes, are tastefully rustic, the language more often English than French. A very popular resort for France skiing holidays.
Morzine Ski Resort
Morzine has easy road access, and is ideal for beginning skiers. Its gently inclined, tree-filled slopes and pleasant atmosphere are non-threatening to those unfamiliar with French customs, cuisine, or skiing. The weather is also typically mild – no need to worry about getting lost in a snowstorm. The one drawback to Morzine is its non-central location and lack of adequate transportation to other ski sites. Morzine makes snow, but not in sufficient quantity to overcome localized snow conditions, which can be disappointing. This makes it ideal for cautious beginners, but a bummer for more advanced skiers, who would prefer Serre Chevalier, with its 50 runs designed specifically for advanced or expert skiers.

The cheapest way to travel all over France is to buy an international roundtrip ticket in Germany or Belgium. Fly to Stuttgart, Strasbourg or Brussels from the UK and buy the ticket at the train station. Plot your trip before you go with the help of http://www.jizdenka.cz

France has a short stay visa for visitors staying less than 90 days. The embassy website says Americans do not need to obtain a short stay visa.
To join the French Foreign Legion, you must be male, between the ages of 18 and 40 years old (17 years old with parental permission), and regardless of where you live in the world, you must present yourself with a valid passport or identity card to one of the 20 recruiting centers (PRLE-Postes de Recrutement de la Légion Etrangère) in metropolitan France. Any costs of transportation to France and the costs of a visa (if necessary) will not be provided by the French Foreign Legion or Republic of France.
Well done in every way… images, narration, editing, soundtrack. I’m curious what video camera and format you used – the quality is quite high.
No,
authorized travel documents between European Countries are either passports or National ID cards. Since the United Kingdom does not issue National ID cards citizens need to have a passport to travel to France.

Since your travel is flexible, I would suggest comparing prices with the many online travel websites. There are always deals, its just hard to guess which one will have the best deals! If you can do last minute travel, that can often get you a great price. Also, try a one-way there and back, sometimes that can save money over booking a round-trip.

Hi williamacks,
I may be wrong, but did you manage to get a shot of Enya herself in your video.
At about 33-35 seconds you see her? sitting in a cafe window.
The UK is not part of the Schengen Agreement, which eliminated border controls between most (but not all) E.U. countries.
I LIVE in Paris ! (L) (L) (L)
j’adore ce paris eternel
Well, as far as expiry is 90 days after ur schengen stay it shouldn't be a problem. You may need to explain why do u have only six months travel document, because its not normal.
But try it, no harm trying.
amazing video for an amazing and beautiful city!!! i love Paris
It depends on a couple of things.
If she is a legal resident of France and holds a residence permit then she can travel freely in the Schengen zone with this card and her passport combined.
I assume from the gact that you mention she is not a citizen of France that she does not have a French passport.
If she is currently on holiday in France and again it depends on her nationality.
- If she is American, Canadian, Australian or another nationality which is allowed to travel under the Visa Waiver Program, then she is free to travel to Greece so long as she will not stay in the Schengen area more than 90 days (out of any 180 days)
- if she is there on holiday with a Schengen visa, then it depends on her actual Schengen visa and how long she has been in Schengen zone. A Schengen visa MAY have restrictions (e.g. that she can only visit France or that she cannot visit Greece), and also it may state x days visit which is less than 90 days, and she will need to stick to this limit for the total visit (and not just the stay in France)
So it depends on her immigration situation and nationality which you do not mention.
It is true that there are no border controls in the Schengen area but there may be random checks on odd occasions and if travelling via an airport a passport is still required which will be verified.
EDIT – ok, based on your updated info, if she is legally residing in France with a residence permit (usually based on family reunification on the basis of her French husband) then she just needs this permit plus her passport and she can travel in the Schengen zone freely. Note: this is only for the case for the Schengen zone and not for the total EU.
Thanks this video, so romantic and emocional, but not sentimental.One of my favorite.
Paris is my big love, I was there 12 times.I’d like living there.Dream, dream, sweet dream.:o)))
Well the very cheapest way to get to France is to sign up for courier flights. Here is some information about this method of getting to Europe: http://www.fabuloustravel.com/budget/courier/courierfaq.html
There are programs for young people to stay with host families in France. If you qualify this is an excellant method for a young person.
Of course, you'll have less flexibility as to the means (and therefore costs) of getting to France with such a program.
If you are of student age then you can get by in France for remarkably little money. Stay in youth hostels and eat at the cafeterias run by CROUS (the French student organization) and your costs will be remarkably low. You can eat a full meal at a CROUS cafeteria for as little as 3 or 4 dollars.
