Welcome to CaliforniaIn the west of the United States, bordering the Pacific Ocean, California represents all the attraction of an "end of the world", both highly urbanized and very wild. Sea, mountain and desert are at the doors of the cities, which are themselves open to nature.
California is: the sprawling megalopolis of Los Angeles; the movie stars of Hollywood; the joggers and rollerbladers of Venice Beach; the hills of San Francisco covered by cable cars; the sirens of Santa Barbara and the surfers of Malibu; the famous Golden Gate Bridge and the most high-tech companies in the world concentrated in the plain of Silicon Valley. California also offers a kaleidoscope of wild and majestic landscapes: the relentless desert of Death Valley, the extraordinary park of Yosemite, the forests that reach for the sky of Sequoia National Park, the misty cliffs beaten by the swell of Big Sur. Blue skies and mild temperatures almost year-round (except for the sea, which is rather cool!) give California an incomparable quality of life, the source of an economic and migratory dynamism that makes it the engine of the American dream. |
