Spotlight on Liège
The city of Simenon is going through a period of transformation: a new TGV station, designed by Santiago Calatrava, and an ambitious museum complex, the Grand Curtius, are set to open in 2009. In the meantime, you will be won over by this lively, bustling city and its eclectic heritage, which goes from brassware to "art brut".
 
 
Take advantage of
a huge choice of carefully selected hotels
across many destinations.
 
 
 




IN THE HEADLINES
Test drive: BMW 135i
After the 3-door saloon and before the convertible expected in April, the 1 Series - the entry-level BMW - is quite shamelessly slipping into compact 3-volume coupé guise.

WHAT'S NEW
New Chrysler Grand Voyager: a "mediamobile" for family life
The new Chrysler Grand Voyager - the pioneering MPV produced in over 12 million units - offers seven seats and unequalled passenger space. Another strong point is its multimedia offer.

Honda Accord: a Japanese saloon with character!
A family saloon that is at once elegant and comfortable, luxurious and practical.

New C5: Citroën rejuvenated!
The stylistic break inaugurated by the C4 and C6 continues with the C5, which is a real feast for the eyes and marks another step towards the German competition, the Audi A4 and BMW 3 Series.

EVENT
The 2CV celebrates its 60th anniversary!
Through its simple, economic concept, allied to the latest technological developments of the time, the 2 CV revolutionised not only the automobile industry but also French society...

TWO-WHEELER
Yamaha YZF-R125 - the revival of the 125cc sports bike!
Absent from the 125cc sports bike segment since the withdrawal of the famous 2-stroke TZR in 2000, Yamaha is now coming back in flamboyant style, launching the YZF-R125.

DESTINATION
Liège: fine food in the Cité Ardente!
Good news: the city of Liège is not short of cafés or restaurants! You should also taste Massin's waffles in his shop in the Outremeuse district, and the boulets at Café Lequet.

GASTRONOMY
Our selection of the best bakeries in Paris
The time of the soft, white, tasteless baguette of the 1960s-70s has gone! Today an increasing number of people are prepared to pay more than one euro for a real, traditional baguette made by the book. and to cross Paris to find an outstanding baker - which is what we have done for you!

LOCAL PRODUCTS
Three great Piedmontese winegrowers
Piedmont boasts 47,000 hectares of vineyards, 54 designations of origin, several tens of native grape varieties, a very wide variety of types of wine and a longstanding tradition of quality. Despite a certain conservatism, this tradition perpetuates a know-how that other Italian regions do not possess.


WEEKEND IDEA
The Discrete Elegance of Dinard
Biarritz, la Baule, le Touquet, Royan... All these seaside resorts evolved in the second half of the 19 th century. Yet Dinard has undoubtedly been the best in preserving its charm. An achievement accomplished by listing over 400 Villas and buildings.
