France has nearly everything: beaches, mountains, farms, culture-rich cities, caves and so on. There were a number of times last month that I wished I could have stuck my camera out the window while driving through. The five plus hour drive from North Holland through the North of France can go from boring to bodacious in the space of one kilometer. Below are a few sights that I was able to shoot while I wasn't behind the wheel.
