When the weather is this nice, it's hard to stop thinking about summer vacations... ones I have planned, as well as ones I'd love to go on in the future... Like going to Mont Blanc!

Win a Trip to Mont Blanc

There's still a little over month or so left to enter our contest to win a trip to Mont Blanc, courtesy of Raincoast, Lonely Planet and UTracks. The trip starts in the Chamonix Valley in France and the route takes you through Italy and Switzerland, on a horseshoe circuit around the Mont Blanc massif. Sounds pretty amazing.

To enter the contest, find out more about the trip, and learn more about Lonely Planet's Discover series, click here.

 


Discover France ... and ooh la la, contests galore!

Je voudrais une croissant.
Je suis enchante.
Ou est le bibliotheque?
Voila mon passport.
Ah, Gerard Depardieu!
Un baguette!

Those are just some of the phrases you'll need to know if you visit France. But wait, should I really be getting my travel advice from Flight of the Concords? smile

Lonely Planet has a fair bit to say about travelling in France, too...

In this video, Lonely Planet founder Tony Wheeler is talking about the new Discover series. Lonely Planet Discover guidebooks feature full-colour images throughout, improved maps, and lots of recommendations and suggested itineraries.
