...is a virtual tour guide to France, a photographic and literary visit of its towns, monuments, people and history. Permanent tourist Lorenzo Bohme loves wandering, camera and sketch book in hand, in the land where he attended the Sorbonne (1961-63) and was a Unesco translator (1981-85).
He now lives in the Basque seaport of Saint Jean de Luz where he's writing his memoirs. Share Lorenzo's personal vision of France, the country which never changes and yet, each time you return, never seems quite the same!
