I am weaving the best of their nearly 10,000 fantastic travel tales into a psychology of travel as revealed by these very telling stories. These are travelers I've encountered on planes, trains, buses, ships, tours, safaris, and in campgrounds, hotels, restaurants, cafes, and pubs. These courageous travelers have freely shared their most personal travel experiences, some good and wonderful and others even horrific and life-threatening, which I, in turn, get to share with you now through my True Travel Tales series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHIS BOOK\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eTravel Tales: France -- Paris \u0026amp; the Riviera!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIs a collection of travel stories of one of the travel world's most favorite destinations, if not certainly among the world's handful of the most popularly visited places anywhere.
