This is a beautiful and breathtaking video . Scenery was out of this world and I am extremely glad I bought it Movie Review: Viva La France! ~ Le Magnifique Journey
Summary: 5 Stars
Much like most of you out there I first became acquainted with the `Vision Series' of aerial travelogue features on PBS television. Whenever I came upon one while channel surfing I'd immediately put the remote down and sit back and relax. It wasn't long before I decided these programs were something I'd never tire of watching and needed to be added to my private DVD collection.
Released in '06, `Visions of France' is the fourth high altitude tour in the series following `Visions of ... Greece / Italy and England'. As with the previous journeys the audience will be immediately whisked away far above the maddening crowd to view France in all its incredible architectural and agricultural glory. Add to the visuals an enchanting French soundtrack and soothing narration and your ready for departure!
Movie Review: Quite spectacular!
Summary: 4 Stars
Having grown up in Orange, this experience was like going back home for me, except from a much better vantage point!
I agree that the French accent sounds out of place. I have a feeling the narrator, Debra Marie Ducette, may actually be French Canadian (I doubt very much that she would "fake" an accent). There's nothing wrong with that, of course, but we are given the impression that this is a French person, when in fact a few names are pronounced incorrectly, which is slightly distracting to a trained ear (OK annoying). Otherwise one would hardly notice.
As far as the scenery, well, there is just SO much to choose from; France is cram-packed with beauty and history, secret treasures everywhere you turn. The DVD could go on for hours. But for 55 minutes and 20+ minutes of bonus footage, the cinematography is spectacular and hits all the highlights, as well as a few castles and some detailed landscapes. The panoramic views are breathtaking. The scenery speaks for itself.
Now, I look forward to flying over the REST of France!
Movie Review: Superlative video
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched this video on public television. I have never seen a video that contained more beautiful scenery, combined with with more lovely music.
I want to buy the video to plan our own trip to these areas. The only problem I had with the program was that I would like to have had a map, or other guide to provide a better idea of just what areas of France we were seeing. The titles of locations was a bit lacking. But what a fantastic assortment of magnificent scenery.
