As we celebrate France on their national holiday we begin a week of stories on France starting with a brief introduction to each of the 22 French mainland regions and Corsica.
Some destinations toil for years building leisure parks, attractions or restoring crumbling piles so that they can attract visitors. Paul has proved there’s another way. Just pick the winners of the matches Germany has played in and then the final of the World Cup.
Paul is, of course, the octopus that has achieved his fifteen minutes of international fame by creating an astonishing record that gamblers would envy. As you will remember, Paul had two cubes each emblazoned with the flag of the playing country. He chose one- and the one he chose just happened to win. 8 times in a row.

Still one of the most popular destinations for visitors from our countries, there are certain sites that appear on almost everyone’s must do lists such as seeing the Empire State Building, Time Square and the Statue of Liberty. Today, New York City is the most popular US destination for visitors. Last year nearly 46 million people came and this year they are hoping for 50 million. Already, in the first three months of the year, 10.6 million of us went there and that is during the winter period! With so many people visiting (there are 87,000 hotel rooms alone for those who stay overnight) and with restrictions on numbers visiting certain sites, you do need to plan what you might do.
