France NOWHERE else on earth will you find people exactly like the French. Voluble, volatile, artistic, temperamental. Only one word can describe them ... French. Their national capital also defies description. Paris is more than a city - it is also a state of mind.
Outside Paris is another France, of peaceful countryside, carefully tended vineyards, diligently tilled farms. And to the south of Paris, the country of the chateaux. Beautiful, blending closely with their surroundings, the Chateaux of the Loire afford an architectural picture of France through the centuries.
Further down, on the Cote d'Azur, year in and year out, a warm, caressing sun shines down on the glittering towns and beaches of Nice, Cannes and the Casino at Monte Carlo.
Finally, the resorts - Chamonix, Annecy, Briancon and others - are headquarters for mountain climbing in summer, and for some wonderful skiing in winter.

Spain
SPAIN is a land of contrast. A land where in a few hours you can be transported from mountain fastnesses of perpetual snow to the languorous scent of orange groves. Where life is casual and leisurely, or tuned to the excitement of the fiesta or the bull ring. Spain has a natural charm and beauty, it is a country which invites relaxation. And its heart is the Spanish capital, Madrid.
ALL along the northern border of Spain rear the mighty ramparts of the Pyrenees, snowcapped the year round, a paradise for winter sports enthusiasts.
Down in the Spanish plains are mile after mile of thriving orchards, olive and orange groves. And lovely cities, such as Seville, with the famous Torre Bermeja, magnificent cathedral and the Alcazar, residence of Moorish Sultans long ago.
Farther south along the coast is Malaga, sometimes called the Spanish Riviera. And offshore, Majorca, which some people believe to be the most beautiful island resort in the world.

Italy
WHAT can be said about Rome? On every hand, the centuries whisper the tales of history. You sleep peacefully in a modern hotel, while not far away rise the ruins of the Colosseum, where Christians died to amuse the Caesars.
South of Rome lies Naples and its famous Bay, with the great volcano Vesuvius.
Venice cannot be resisted. You'll glide through its liquid "streets" in a gondola, wander charming byways, cross the stone bridges, the Bridge of Sighs, the Rialto.
Just across the Strait of Messina is Sicily, dominated by the mighty volcano of Etna. Even in January, swimming is pleasant at the superb residential resort of Taormina, with Etna as a towering background.
All across the top of the Italian "boot" are Alps. And in amongst the spurs of these towering granite castles lie the Italian lakes - calm blue mirrors of startling beauty, ringed with attractive resorts, parks and villas. Lake Garda - along its western shore, is one of the most beautiful drives in Europe. Lake Maggiore, and the resorts of Stresa and Pallanza; Lake Como and the playspots of Bellagio and Menaggio. Golfing, fishing, or simply relaxing in the bright Italian sun, any or all of the Italian lakes are marvelous.

Turkey
TURKEY may well surprise you, with her modern ways, but Istanbul, formerly Constantinople, will enchant you. An international crossroad city, where West and East have met and mingled, Istanbul sits looking out across the beautiful blue Bosporus.
This is a land of ancient history, and the Istanbul Museum of Antiquities is rich in works of art from ancient Anatolia, Greece, Rome and Byzantium.
Only a short distance from Istanbul, by boat and automobile, are the health resorts of Bursa and Yalova. Once capital of Turkey, Bursa holds the tombs of the first great Sultans, enshrined in a gorgeous setting of cherry blossoms and peach trees.
