Are you travelling to France?

In high school I traveled to France for an exchange program and I wish I had been a bit more involved. I also wish that I had internet access back then, I would have visited a site to findFrance secrets, you know, little cafes and bistros found by people like me. It also would have been nice to read up on the culture of France before I went on my trip. The only resource I had were teachers who wanted to cram as much text book knowledge into my head in as short a time as possible.
