France is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. The fascinating variety of landscapes combined with a rich cultural heritage, symbolized by fantastic buildings and cathedrals the beauty of France. Almost 3500 kilometers of coastline with golden sandy beaches, imposing, deep cliffs and vast forests resembling a green mystical carpet - you simply have to fall in love with France's coasts. In a dreamlike flight along the North Sea, Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts, we visit over 30 incomparable harbor towns, filmed for the first time from a perspective that fully captures the beauty of these places.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
