Travel guide - Lebanon | Petit Futé (French)

Lebanon practical guide with practical information, addresses and route suggestions.

Small Mediterranean country so singular between the East and the West, Lebanon, it's 4000 years of history and 18 religious communities that have always coexist. From Tyr to Tripoli, passing through Baalbek and obviously Beirut, the visitor crosses a thousand and a landscapes sprinkled with sun and blue sky. Between the ruins of Anjar, the Souks de Saïda, the caves of Jeita, the ancient city of Jbeil, the cedars of the mountain, the monasteries of the Kadisha Valley, the immense plains of the Bekaa and even the wines of Ksara And Kefraya, Lebanon surprises with its diversity. Here everything seems possible. The best like the worst. The most beautiful as the most upsetting. In the streets of Beirut floats a feeling of freedom that can not escape you. Life is running away, tomorrow does not really exist. So we take advantage of every moment, we laugh strongly, we stay at the table, we spend his night dancing. And what we love above all, it is the light of this country. This hot orange light that envelops the mountain every night, this haunting light that will not leave you anymore.
