397 FRANCE, the land of sunshine, good food and wines, is, with the help of British Railways, almost on your door-step. Paris in particular has much to offer in early autumn, with shows and exhibitions just beginning and the most fascinating shops in the world. Why not pay her a last visit before winter comes? Fast Pullman services whisk you from London to the coast; full summer steamship services continue on all nine sea routes until the end of September. And, as part of this prelude to la belle France, good meals and excellent attendance en route are thoroughly in keeping.
