FRANCE REVEALED

Welcome to France—a country where life itself is an art form, and where history and tradition are taken seriously. This program explores the history, culture and geography of this spectacular region, with its unique citizens serving as guides. Meet an explosives expert, a radical chef, a man who scales skyscrapers without ropes and a bullfighter, as they share their country, their lives and what it means to be French. It starts with plans to blow up the Eiffel Tower—with fireworks—for Bastille Day, then journeys up the Alps to avalanche territory, across to still dangerous battlefields, into territorial farmlands, and through gorgeous architectural treasures.
