The Do section
[edit]I removed a lame list from Do, mostly doubling things mentioned in See. However, I notice that the current Do consists of just Classical music and dance and Spectator sports. Parks and natural attractions should probably be moved to Do (and better developed; most parks mentioned are outlines) and ski resorts added. Wine tasting should probably be added to Drink. What else should we have here? –LPfi (talk) 09:51, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
- Good catch. Also: Food tours (e.g., Lyon), beaches, Grande Randonnée. Ground Zero (talk) 10:26, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
- Gambling, too. Water sports are popular in places like Nice, where you can see people doing parasailing (parachute ascensionnel). I'd definitely mention mountain climbing in addition to regular hiking and skiing. Ikan Kekek (talk) 16:54, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
Camping aggregators
[edit]I noted that in France#Camping we mention a couple of web sites that look like aggregators mostly based in the UK. Is there some official site we could use? Some French campsite organisation? Is there some reason for us to link these sites, and exactly these sites?
Here's the current paragraph (there is general text before it):
- Camping is a great way to explore the local area as it offers you the freedom of being able to travel around at short notice. Small campsites can be discovered on Rural Camping France, while larger campsites can be booked through websites such as Eurocamp, Canvas Holidays & Go Camp France.
An IP substituted Holiday Parks Europe for Go Camp France, I reverted, but don't know whether either is better. –LPfi (talk) 12:45, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
- looks clearly to me as violation of WV:External links#What not to link to, and WV:Goals and non-goals, too. Nuke'em all, IMHO. Ibaman (talk) 12:57, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
- Agreed. --SHB2000 (t | c | m) 13:33, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
